NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The Court of Appeal has decided that three days in prison is the appropriate sentence for an American gun convict, who was deemed too sick for jail.
54-year-old Ronald Ralph Moorhead Jr. Was leaving the country on June 21 when police arrested him at Leonard Thompson International Airport after a .380 pistol with five rounds of ammunition in his checked luggage.
He pleaded guilty to possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition the same day and was sentenced to 12 months in prison.
However, Moorhead, who has a severe case of type 1 diabetes, was released from prison three days later on $10,000 cash bail pending appeal, after Acting Commissioner Doan Cleare swore an affidavit saying that the facility lacked the ability to manage his condition.
Cleare’s affidavit was crucial in the appellate court’s decision to quash the 12-month sentence and substitute it with the three days that Moorhead had already spent in custody.
