Female Charged With Knife Robbery

September 1, 2011

This morning [Sept.1] in Magistrate’s Court, 19-year-old Zharrin Simmons of Deepdale Road Pembroke faced three charges. Since the charges were indictable, she was not required to enter a plea.

The charges were that on 27th August 2011, on Hermitage Road in Devonshire, she robbed a couple of a Blackberry and gold jewelry; and in an increased penalty zone – within 300 yards of Elliott Primary School – was in possession of a bladed article whose blade exceeded three inches.

After a lengthy submission by her legal counsel, Ms Simmons was remanded in custody. She will re-appear on 14th September and her case will be joined to that of the brothers who were placed on remand yesterday for their alleged involvement in the same Hermitage Road incident.

    hmmmm, doesn’t that name sound familiar?

    • Yup says:

      Yes it definitely does!

    • No longer angry, just sad... says:

      Some people just choose to throw away the precious time that they have in their lives…I feel so sorry for them and angry at the things in their life experiences that helped them to behave this way… Life is about choices, but it’s also about circumstances and influence… some of us are stronger than others… I used to get mad at people that do evil, but now I just feel sad for them because of their weakness has allowed demons to take control of them, allowing them to commit acts of evil…

    • Concerned says:

      took the words right out my mouth!

  3. bernews says:

    As a note which applies to all court stories, references to any prior charges – if they might exist in the individual person’s case – is something legally frowned on, with only mention of charges presently before the court permitted until after the case is finished. This is not our rule – its the Courts…

    • Emeka47 says:

      Since Bernews can’t print old court the info, is there anything that prevents your contributors from reading the RELATED POST below her story on this page

  4. just me says:

    such a shame, she has’nt learned her lesson…geeeshhhh.

    • GPS says:

      No she hasn’t….she only seems to know trouble…lost soul.

  5. Mmmm! says:

    Mmmmmm!!! And watch her get a lil slap on the wrist for this! and when she goes jail they need to put her with the males, since she thinks she is one!!

    • GPS says:

      @Mmmm…you took the words right out of my mouth!!…Send her West Gate!!

      • A Young Bermudian says:

        yea definitely – i’m so tired of reading about this young lady. she’s had time to turn her life around but she keeps making such horrible decisions. sorry but it’s time she learns a lesson…

    Why is it that when a group go up for a crime in Bermuda only one will get the maximum sentence. Something is really wrong in Bermuda’s justice system that allows encouragement to those exhibit antisocial behavior.

    “He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it.” Lucius Annaeus Seneca

    • THE TRUTH (one & only) says:

      You said it ‘when a GROUP goes up’…you noticed that only one gets found guilty or they all get off. In my opinion, it’s because it confuses the jury. I read these cases with multiple people and after awhile the whole thing becomes one blurry, confusing mess. Even if the jury member takes notes, it’s still confusing as to who did what and when.

      Although it may be more expensive, maybe prosecutors should hold separate trials and present whatever evidence is relevant to that person. That could help.

  7. smh says:

    God definitely doesnt sleep!!

    What tree has this fruit fallen from…SMDH

    • Yup says:

      Haha precisely my question! Who is this child’s parents?

      • Islander says:

        I dont know about the father, but the mother lives in NYC….been there for a long time.

  9. MinorMatters says:

    I believe the increasing crime in Bermuda is the result of 1) Perpetrators (of course) and 2) The Courts and Judicial System which are made of mostly non-Bermudians who I feel do NOT have the interest of Bermuda at heart. I believe that they are contributing to the undermining of this Country as they have no vested interest in this place as they can always go back HOME.

    We need to get more trained Bermudians in these roles so that we can better govern our fates. When you read these posts you can see that those who live here WANT more convictions, stricter and harsher penalties and what we get? We get these ridiculously lenient sentencing and in some cases slaps on the wrists.

    Judges and Prosecutors, if you care anything about this country, then do your damn jobs properly.

    FED UP!

    • CheapSkate says:

      @ MinorMatters: All the lawyers that fight their cases are Bermudian… And most of them when first sort out to law school had a good idea of coming back home to fight the good fight for a better Bermuda. Than they realize what criminal defense lawyer makes and no one wants to fight for the good of anything… Being a lawyer is dirty business, regardless of who their fighting for. It’s about that paying customer and like they say, everyone is entitle to be defended… So if you ever have to go to court for some bad bastard climbing through your window, just think about the good defense your going to be up against…

  10. JWOW says:

    PPL wanna know whats wrong with these kids….its stems from the values/morals/respect they are taught at home!(or shall i say- NOT taught) We should not have all this craziness going on on a daily basis-because ppl cant handle/control their own kids- or teach them how to respect themselves and others! BERMUDA NEEDS TO START TAKING CONTROL OF THEIR ISLAND AGAIN. where you could leave your house unlocked- you could burrow stuff from your neighbor- you could walk down the street and not worry about being in the wrong place at the right time!! one day Bermuda will wake up- and see that they are letting these little punks run this beautiful island we all call HOME!!

    • Emeka47 says:

      BLAME THE COURTS,AND THOSE WHO CLAIM CRIMINALS HAVE RIGHTS OVER THE VICTIMS…… TEACHERS AND PARENTS CAN’T CORRECT CHILDREN – THESE PPL ARE A MENACE TO SOCIETY.

    Karma-`for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful.’

  16. BLACK PEARL says:

    KARMA!!! IS A b!+(H

  17. Ambitious Girl says:

    Honestly, this little girl hasn’t learned her lesson and apparently doesn’t have a conscience either. But no worries, like others have said Karma is a B****!!!!!!!

  18. Down 'n' Dirty says:

    She will forever attempt to run from herself .

    • alteredbeast says:

      she needs to run off a cliff….waste of space

    • Research says:

      run from herself whilst hurting other people in the process…..one of these days these fools will try to harm the wrong person and find themselves with a broken arm, leg, or ‘enternal unconsciousness’.

      RIP young Hill

  19. Emeka47 says:

    Three down and three to go………Let justice rain down from heaven, vengence belongs to the Lord, He will repay. No evil goes unpunished Just watch and see!

    • wen says:

      WOW deep…it’s so sad what’s going on in this Island with the young of today…but it’s so true the Karma is a B*t@H!! Pay attention.

  20. CheapSkate says:

    Our children need to be motivated in know that hard work does pay off and to know that nothing good comes out of anything bad and the motivation behind their actions is more important than the action itself…

  21. Ashamed of the Ignorant says:

    SMDH – “Karma” is Gods way of letting you learn your lesson the hard way. Shes been playin “catch me if you can” with the Devil; but the Devils plays for keeps! i pray for redemption!

  22. Ashamed of the Ignorant says:

    your demons will catch up with you! ITS NOT OVER!

  23. Stacey says:

    Like many people have said, karma is a b. I have no sympathy for her at all; one by one justice is being served.
