Senior attorney Bert Samuels is calling for urgent intervention by the State following the sentencing of music producer Ewan Pryce, arguing that Jamaica’s firearms legislation has resulted in a “travesty of justice.”

Pryce, 47, was sentenced on Friday to 15 years' imprisonment for possession of prohibited weapons and life imprisonment for stockpiling firearms, according to a report published today by The Sunday Gleaner.

The case stems from the discovery of eight imitation firearms reportedly linked to Pryce, who was described as a music producer.
