Case No. 2007-04219-A8

indication from the judge that the possession of a firearm and ammunition would not result in a consecutive sentence but would be treated as an aggravating feature. 7. On 23 May 2007, Rolls pleaded guilty to the conspiracy and also to similar firearms offences. He also pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm, namely a silencer, and ammunition contrary to sections 1(1)(a) and (b) of the same Act. He also offered a written basis of plea which was not accepted by the Crown. 8. On 13 June 2007, two of the other defendants pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply a Class A drug. They put forward bases of plea which were accepted by the Crown. Another defendant, Kelly-Marie Franklin, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug. Her basis of plea was accepted by the Crown. She stated that she was aware of the drugs found at premises to which we shall refer. The Crown offered no evidence against the other defendants on the remaining counts. In the result, although initially nine persons had been charged with the conspiracy, no evidence was offered against two. 9. On 12 July 2007, sentence was passed on all of the defendants as follows: Roach, eight years' detention in a young offender institution; Carolan, eight years' imprisonment; Shepherd, three years' imprisonment; Jennings, three years' imprisonment; and Kelly-Marie Franklin, nine months' imprisonment. Hogg was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for the drugs offence and a total of five years' imprisonment for the firearms offences, to run concurrently. Rolls was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for the drugs offence and to five years' imprisonment for each of the firearms offences, to run concurrently.
