By Breaking Belize News Staff: The prosecution has rested its case against Belize City prep chef Kendale Shavon Carcamo, whose trial on firearm, ammunition and drug charges opened Tuesday before the Chief Magistrate.
Carcamo, who is representing himself, faces one count each of keeping a firearm without a gun licence, keeping ammunition without a gun licence and possession of a controlled drug. Prosecutor Sergeant Christopher Smith read statements from two police officers into evidence by agreement before closing the prosecution’s case.
The Chief Magistrate adjourned the matter to January 6, when she is expected to rule on whether the prosecution presented enough evidence for Carcamo to answer any of the three charges. His bail was extended.
The charges stem from a May 21 search at Carcamo’s Ebony Street home. Police say a 9mm Beretta pistol loaded with 14 live rounds fell from between his legs during the search. Officers also reported finding 0.8 grams of suspected cocaine.
Carcamo pleaded not guilty to all three charges at his May 22 arraignment and was initially remanded.
