    This is great, but my question is who was she bring the drugs in for. I am sure she did not decide to jump on a plane and head here and hope she could unload the drugs on her own.

    Anyone else noticed the white woman’s face not plastered across the newspaper smdh
    she aint no better than those young black women, so why they trying to protect her identity

    • bernews says:

      No one is trying to protect her identity, at times we just cannot obtain a photo, note the court story after this also doesn’t have photos…..reason being our photog was outside Magistrates today and she was in Supreme. Nothing nefarious, just budget issues and limited staffing as we are still growing. However at least one of the papers has shown her face, and possibly broadcast as well.

      Also, the ‘white woman’ reference…Ms Grant isn’t white.

    • itwasn't me says:
