Will Hartin Change Plea to Guilty?

Jasmine Hartin

Will Hartin change her plea? The Canadian has gone on American television program “48 Hours” saying on the night of May twenty-eighth, 2021 while she was on a pier in San Pedro Town with Superintendent Henry Jemmott, the gun she had in her hand accidentally went off and killed the senior officer. While with attorney Dickie Bradley today, News Five asked whether Hartin will be advised to change her plea to guilty to avoid wasting the court’s time.

Dickie Bradley, Attorney for Jasmine Hartin

“You are correct, that is an option that is available. I am an attorney, I give legal advice on these matters and that is a matter that is on the table. I should repeat what has been said elsewhere. Jasmine has two offers from Britain where Queen’s Counsel, meaning in their system, these are high ranking attorneys, have offered to assist in her trial. I am in communication with them, I am going to go on Skype shortly and give them an update as to what happened, and I am also going to be giving them a comment in terms of some interesting factors in the last set of disclosure that we received. But you are correct, in our system which is the British system and which is almost like Joe Biden’s system; there are situations that can be classified as accidents. You can hit a person and cause death, but it is a genuine accident – either from failure of your brakes or another part of the vehicle or somebody run in front of your…whatever happens. An accident is a matter that a court would take into account. You can’t be treated as if you intended to take life where the situation is an accident. An accident actually goes to the credit of the person who is accused.”
