ST. THOMAS, JAMAICA: Father, Lorenzo Findley hits children’s mom with building block arrested and charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and was remanded when he appeared in court on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty. WHAT SENTENCE WOULD YOU GIVE HIM?

Sunday, October 19, 2014 Jamaica Observer   
A  delinquent father was last week brought before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court after he got upset at his "babymother" for taking out a summons to take him to the Family Court for child support and for using half of a building block to hit her several times in the head.
The court heard that the complainant was at her home in Bull Bay, St Thomas on May 31, when the father of two of her children, Lorenzo Findley, took up the piece of block and hit her repeatedly in the head.
The matter was reported and Findley was arrested and charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and was remanded when he appeared in court on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty.
On Friday when Findley returned to court for sentencing, the complainant told the court that he attacked her because she insisted that she was going to take him to court.
She explained that on the day in question he was at her home when the police came to serve him the summons but he hid.
However, she said that when the police left he came out of hiding and a quarrel developed between them.
"Him say to me 'you neva send yuh next babyfada a court but yuh waa send me' and me say to him, yuh lucky, yuh a guh," the complainant told the court.
She said after that, Findley then grabbed the piece of block and started to hit her.
The magistrate then turned to Findley and asked him if he had anything to tell her as to why she should not send him to prison. "No, Your Honour," Findley answered. more
