North-east teen given time to get health in order before sentencing

A north-east teenager who sold ecstasy to his friends has been given time to get his health in order before being sentenced.

Kaolin Barron – who underwent two liver transplants last year – appeared at Peterhead Sheriff Court yesterday for sentencing after previously admitting supplying the Class A drug.

But Sheriff Christine McCrossan deferred a decision on his case for six months.

She said the delay was to “enable your health situation to hopefully stablilise”.

The court heard that since the case’s last hearing earlier this month, Barron had been admitted to hospital due to continued issues with his liver.

Sheriff McCrossan originally suggested a restriction of liberty order would be suitable punishment for Barron.

But yesterday, his solicitor Leonard Burkinshaw said such an order would not be “entirely beneficial” to his condition.

“He does spent the majority of his time at his sister’s,” he said.

“She effectively takes him to all his regular appointments.

“His position at the present time, health-wise, is not very good.

“It’s obviously and extremely serious condition he has, and that has to be the focus.”

Barron, of Queens Crescent, Rosehearty, sold the drug despite having a bad reaction to it himself.

At a hearing of the case earlier this month, it was revealed one woman who took a pill from the 18-year-old was found at the bottom of her stairs unconscious on October 18 last year.

It was only when she was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary that she told police who supplied her the drug.

Another friend had bought himself and her a pill each for £20.
