Nurse charged with stealing almost $90 000
A nurse accused of stealing almost $90 000, in a four-month span from the same woman, was released on bail, despite objections, when she appeared in the District “A” Magistrates’ Court.
Donna Charlene Bishop-Griffith, 43, of Well Gap, Cave Hill, St Michael, denied 45 charges of theft of sums of money ranging from $1 000 to $3 000, between April 23 and July 1, 2023, which belonged to Marjorie Estaphan Knight.
She was also accused that she engaged in money laundering, between April 21 and July 1, 2023, in that she disposed of $87 740 in money being the proceeds of crime.
The prosecution objected to her release on bail and cited the seriousness and nature of the offences.
The prosecution noted the 45 allegations of theft were made over a four-month span, as it pointed to the need to protect society and the elderly. (HLE)
