The Judge said he was unlikely to 'veer away' from the existing precedence but had previously warned Hartin in an earlier hearing that he was 'not bound' to it. ![]() The Belizean courthouse heard that the precedence in the case of a guilty plea for the offence was a non-custodial sentence including a fine. ![]() The father of five was killed by a shot to the head while enjoying a late-night drink with Hartin on the pier near Mr Ashcroft's luxury hotel on the island of Ambergris Caye. She was watched by the dead officer's sisters and his daughter who have stoically attended court proceedings since he was killed almost two years ago. With tears streaming down her face and visibly shaking, Hartin's voice trembled as she stood in the small wooden dock to enter her last-minute plea in the packed courtroom.
