Jason Adam Decouto v THE QUEEN ## EX TEMPORE JUDGMENT (In Court) Appeal against sentence – possession of firearm – whether before passing sentence Magistrate should have informed the defence that he did not accept the facts put forward in mitigation – whether exceptional circumstances – whether sentence should have been suspended **Date of hearing:** 4th May 2016 Mr C. Craig S. Attridge, Barrister & Attorney, for the Appellant Ms Cindy E. Clarke, Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, for the Respondent 1. On 20th November 2015 the Appellant pleaded guilty in the Magistrates' Court to one count of possession of a firearm contrary to section 3(1)(a) of the Firearms Act 1973 ("the 1973 Act") before the Worshipful Archibald Warner and was sentenced to 30 days' imprisonment. He appeals against sentence, which he has already served, on the grounds that it was wrong in principle and/or manifestly harsh and excessive. The appeal is unopposed, although the parties differ as to what the correct sentence should be. 2. I gave a short ex tempore judgment at the close of the hearing. At the request of the parties I have reduced it to writing. In so doing I have expanded upon it to address some of the points which were covered during counsels' oral submissions, including some legal research arising from them, and to make it more readily intelligible to the general reader who has no prior knowledge of the case. 3. The facts were not disputed, either before the learned Magistrate or before me. The Appellant served part time as a sergeant in the Royal Bermuda Regiment ("the Regiment") from May 2003 until 24th February 2004 when, upon completion of his term of service, he was honourably discharged. His duties included distributing magazines and ammunition. While in active service, a member of the Regiment may lawfully carry firearms and ammunition. On one occasion the Appellant took two empty magazines home with him from a .223 calibre Ruger Mini 14 Rifle, then put them in a container and forgot about them. 4. On 6th April 2015, more than 11 years later, police officers searched the Appellant's house in relation to another matter and found the magazines in a closet. He was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm. Under section 1(1) of the 1973 Act, a "firearm" means a lethal barreled weapon of any description from which any shot, bullet or other missile can be discharged, and includes any component of such a lethal or prohibited weapon, such as a magazine. When interviewed under caution the Appellant acknowledged possession of the magazines and stated "that is from my Regiment days". He pleaded guilty to the charge at the earliest opportunity. 2016-05-04 Court of Appeal Appellate Hellman Ex Tempore Judgment
