Women Chop & Stab Each Other Over Hand Cart Space
A female vendor, Janet Findley, who used a chopper to injure another woman (Cornelia McDonald) on her leg during a fight over hand cart space in Downtown Kingston, was fined $30,000 (or serve six months in prison) when she appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday. It is alleged that McDonald had parked her hand cart on Orange Street, when Findley came along and moved McDonald’s cart, putting her own hand cart in the spot instead. This reportedly lead to a fight between the two.
McDonald was also before the court, because she was charged with stabbing Findley in the chest during the same incident. Findley pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding, and the sentence was handed down, however McDonald pleaded not guilty to felonious wounding, and is to return to court on January 18.
