HARTIN AND JEMMOTT AT BOAT
Tomorrow morning, Jasmine Hartin goes back to the Supreme Court with attorney Godfrey Smith to apply for bail. The 32 year old Canadian is accused of the negligent manslaughter of Superintendent Henry Jemmott - and the prosecution has objected to bail, contending that she is a flight risk. So tomorrow, Senior Crown Counsel, Shanice Lovell is expected to present submissions to back up that objection to bail.
The event is expected to be a media circus - attracting the same kind of intense media coverage that presiding Justice Herbert Lord had complained about at last week’s hearing.
And, as we told you last night, that media scrutiny has now ventilated many details of what is believed to be Hartin’s caution statement to police.
The British paper, known as The Mail on Sunday has laid out the entire details of the accident as she told it to police.
In the article, their meeting on the Matarocks pier in San Pedro on May 27th was depicted as, quote, “an innocent reunion with an old friend – one who sought only to protect her.”
But, tonight 7News has video evidence which suggests that the two had been together a week earlier in Belize City - and - according to eyewitnesses - Jasmine Hartin wasn’t acting as if she’d just met with an old friend or protector.
This surveillance video from San Pedro Belize Express Water Taxi shows a minivan dropping a woman - sources tell us is Jasmin Hartin - at the water taxi at 5:53 am on May 22nd. The driver - who sources tell us is Jemmott - pulls up - asks an employee when the first boat to San Pedro is leaving. He tells the man in the van, presumably Jemmott - it’s 8:00 am. Hartin exits the minivan and enters the terminal.
She enters and turned to sit on a bench next to the cargo area. Sources tell us that’s where she started crying inconsolably, and she had to be comforted by employees in the area. Sources say she cried for some time after that.
What was the cause for her breakdown is unsure - but the report in the Daily Mail says that she had been at a party in Belmopan and Jemmott had to drive 50 miles to rescue her. When they met in san Pedro one week later, it’s unclear whether the issue that prompted the crying had been ironed out.
