Married socialite Jasmine Hartin, 32, is charged with manslaughter for the fatal shooting of Belize cop 'during a massage after drinking' - but could avoid any jail time by paying a hefty FINE
Daily Mail ^

Jasmine Hartin, 32, who is married to the son of British billionaire Lord Michael Ashcroft, was taken into custody last Friday after Superintendent Henry Jemmott, 42, was shot behind the ear with his own revolver.

Police believe the pair had been drinking and fooling around with Jemmott's service revolver when it accidentally fired, causing the 6ft officer to topple off a pier in the luxury coastal enclave of Ambergris Caye.

Hartin told detectives she was giving the officer a massage moments before the freak accident, according to local news reports.

Hartin was found at the scene by a security guard 'hysterical' and covered in blood, but clammed up and summoned a lawyer once she was in police custody, sources said.

The blonde socialite has spent the past four days holed up in a tiny concrete cell at the stiflingly hot police and magistrates court complex in San Pedro, the tropical resort's only town.

Hartin was arraigned behind a cloak of secrecy on Monday in San Pedro, despite authorities insisting the glamorous mother-of-two would not receive any preferential treatment.

Police abruptly ejected reporters and members of the public from the building before she was taken from the tiny, concrete holding cell to the court, one floor above, at around 3:30pm local time.

Hartin will spend another night in a squalid Belize jail cell after her attorney, Godfrey Smith, emerged from the courthouse late Monday saying his client had been denied bail.

this is an update from the other day.

I was wondering how long it would take for the fix to be put into place.

No Show trial to be had here here probably, move along now

Revolvers don’t accidentally fire.

What’s her husband think of her drinking and messaging another man that winds up dead?

One would guess that the Mister ain’t thrilled about all this for multiple reasons, but she is the mother of his children, so just assume that the appropriate wheels will be greased. Honeybunch is just lucky that this happened in Belize and not the United States. BLM and their sycophants would “Derek Chauvin” this gal in a New York minute.

Kills a guy and “oooopps, its just an accident” story. I can only imagine that these British elites also attend “Eyes Wide Shut” style parties.

Looks like she was trying for a sloppy head shot on an elephant. And after a look at the photos, yeah.

Well, he was a hefty guy, so I guess the fine should be hefty as well ...

'whom she hath caused to fall'

Interesting how they blame it all on the harlot, as if the man is so weak that his susceptibility is beyond his own control.

Her husband might be a bit upset that she was messaging another man.

But wait until he finds out she was massaging him as well.

Hey big boy. Is that your revolver or are you just happy to see me?

Pay the fine. Get the hell outta there!
