The elderly Brooks pleaded guilty to manslaughter in November last year and was to be sentenced Monday after his last court appearance Friday. Upon returning, the judge indicated that the court was not rejecting the entire plea agreement and that it was up to the parties to decide whether they would withdraw from the matter and go to trial or whether they would stand on the agreement and make submissions. With Vassell indicating that he would wish to have some guidance from the bench, Justice Pusey indicated that he would rise and meet with the attorney in chambers to discuss the issue before returning to the court room. That would leave you at liberty to take instructions whether or not you wish to withdraw from the plea agreement, whether you wish to have the court decide, or whether you would go to trial,” Pusey said. "I'm in a position where I do not believe that I would be able to go ahead with the sentencing recommendation as is. The writing was on the wall from earlier in the afternoon when the matter was called up and Justice Pusey indicated that he was having difficulty with the sentencing recommendation for a non-custodial sentence by Brooks' attorney based on two issues, one of which was an aspect of the Social Enquiry Report in which a particular admission was made by Brooks. Brooks' attorney Davion Vassell, in indicating that he wanted time to take further instructions from his client, asked that the matter be adjourned until this Friday at which point he would indicate the route the defence would take. While stating that he would not disclose what was proposed given that the matter might instead go to trial, Justice Pusey instructed that Brooks' bail be revoked and he be remanded. KINGSTON, Jamaica – A sentencing hearing for Alten Brooks, the driver of the garbage truck that crushed and killed seven-year-old Benjamin Bair on the grounds of the Clan Carthy Primary School in October 2019, took a surprise twist Monday afternoon when Supreme Court Judge Justice Leighton Pusey indicated that the court will be rejecting the sentence recommendation in the plea arrangement struck between the defence and prosecutors.

The driveline is powered by a battery pack with a (gross) energy content of 170 kWh sufficient for covering regular garbage collection routes. Waste collection trucks typically return to the depot every few hours to unload, at which time a DAF CF Electric can recharge up to 80% battery capacity in only 30 minutes. Since the end of 2018, DAF CF Electric 4x2 tractor vehicles have been in operation for inner city distribution at leading Dutch and German transport companies and supermarket chains. While DAF has commenced limited sales of its CF Electric tractor in The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, four fully electric 6x2 chassis are now entering a field test for refuse collection applications. The 3-axle vehicles provide high payload (GVW up to 28-tonnes) and – thanks to a steered trailing axle – excellent manoeuvrability a huge advantage for waste collection vehicles operating in dense urban areas.
