Also looks like his next chest pain complaint won't be heard by a judge, but rather a warden. Veteran Dancehall deejay Ninjaman was a life sentence in the Home Circuit Court for the March 2009 murder of Ricardo Johnson. He is to serve 25 years before being eligible for parole. He was given 20 years for shooting with intent and life imprisonment for murder. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 1, 2018 On 24/06/2017 at 09:02, Sir Creep said: The family of the late reggae icon and marijuana activist Peter Tosh is seeking answers after they say his son (Jawara McIntosh) was left in a coma following an attack in a New Jersey jail, where he was serving a six-month sentence on pot possession charges. This wouldn't have happened if they had Legalized It. SC [From October]: The family of the late reggae great Peter Tosh welcomed home his youngest son who had been in the hospital for one and a half years. Jawara McIntosh, 38, had been hospitalized following a violent attack while he was serving a six-month sentence for cannabis-related charges in the Bergen County Jail in New Jersey. When his family visited him following the attack, he was barely conscious, having sustained brain injuries. Speaking with The Gleaner, his sister, Niambe, said the family is hopeful for a full recovery, with him now released into their care. Oh well, I had Jawara on a few DPs.

In saying that, perhaps the signs were there, back in the days when I was busy predicting Saxa's death: On 10/01/2017 at 17:27, YoungWillz said: I see they dredged up a few for the Pop Quiz specials too. Nick Heyward still looked mighty damn fine. Mari Wilson? OMG! Ranking Roger definitely hasn't aged well though. Fact he has admitted having a seizure while on his course and an unoperated on (so perhaps benign) tumour, he could simply seizure out or do a worse version of Alex Ferguson. As much as he wants to be on stage and the fans want him back, I worry that he could simply drop at any time now. If he goes out performing though, I guess that's what he might want.
