Former Broadcaster Wayne Whyte, co-accused sentenced to 14 years each

Former broadcaster Wayne White and his co accused Safari Farr have both been sentenced to fourteen years in prison .
Last month, when they appeared in the Gun Court the two pleaded guilty to wounding with intent and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
    

They were charged in connection with the attempted murder of broadcaster Jody Ann Gray who was seven months pregnant with White's child at the time of the attempted killing.

The in camera hearing commenced on Friday, but was delayed until Monday after the character witness for Farr failed to show.

White and Farr were charged after Gray was shot at her home in Portmore in the central parish of St. Catherine on April 4 , 2012.

It was reported that she was about to enter her house when she was attacked and shot in the face.

The shooter then jumped into a waiting car, which was allegedly being driven by Whyte. However, the car was intercepted by a police patrol team with the men aboard.

A third man in the vehicle was used by the State as the key prosecution witness.   

Prosecutors had reported that White was engaged in a relationship with  Grey and plotted her murder when she became pregnant and refused to do an abortion.
