FROM THE EXPRESS:
AFTER admitting that her love for the Police Service drove her to forge two Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) certificates, Shervon Cottoy was sentenced to 160 hours community service yesterday.
heres the article: http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl ... =161486280
Now I dont want to say anything about the woman but.. WHAT?!! If you want to be a police that is the last thing you wanna do. And whats with the sentence.. I find the fact that she tried to defraud the POLICE SERVICE and the NATION is as bad a crime as any other. But according the Judge the sentence is mostly lenient (sp) because this should not be the point in her life where it goes downhill. All I have to say is remember that saying about "good intentions" paving the road to somewhere.. Think of all the people who never intended to be murders or fraudsters and all the arbitrary sentencing that goes with it.. I'm not saying anything about her.. but what did she intend.. Is someone's intentions a good way to sentence by.. are intentions related in any way to motives. If so then why is it that i find it hard to match her intentions with her actions and her professed motives to do this crime. Yeah break the law because you REALLY want to be a cop.. or rich.. or because you REALLY want your spouse to shut up or because you REALLY like lil boys or REALLY want to sell pirated discs.
