So we will find out, won’t we, whether the Bermudians get “10+ years”, when they have their trial.

He knew it was illegal, he got an offer and took it. Stop being arrogant. Guilty as charged. How dare he try to bring guns into Bermuda! What he thought it would be used for target practice? Bull s**t. Guilty!”
He was fortunate it happen to him in Bermuda and not in the Philippines! Aside from his conviction, who knows how many other times he’d delivered illegal narcotic and possibly other guns into Bermuda? Throw away the key!

I have to say whatever the judge feels on the day is how he sentences… sad but true… so yes it matters what part of the world you come from.

This convicted smuggler has his own brain am I not correct, therefore he could have refused to do it. But nooooo his dumb arse went along with it, so therefore he got what he deserves, JAIL TIME. And further more how are we to know this isnt his first time doing this.. Go lay down somewhere and rethink about what what you wrote.

Sounds like the notion that no white people commit crime in Bermuda.

Embassy,consulates, “special handshake agreements”… are there different laws for different nations residing in bermuda? this case brings about questioning of our liberties or “other” liberties and when people sojourn in another country for so long they become either assimilated or accustomed to their surroundings , ..

That is taking away from all of us Bermudian Residents our peace, safety, and reputation .

They to should face jail time as well even though it will be tough for prosecutors to proove they are just as guilty.
