Local News News Lawyer guilty of stealing client funds Fernella Wedderburn31/05/2022085 views Attorney-at-law Ernest Winston Jackman has been found guilty of stealing more than half million dollars of a client’s money as well as money laundering. The jury returned the unanimous verdict on both counts moments ago and Jackman was remanded to Dodds pending sentence. He had asked to remain on bail pending sentence but Madam Justice Pamela Beckles denied the application. “I regret my actions and do apologize,” Jackman told the court. The embattled attorney had been on trial before the No. 5 Supreme Court charged with stealing $678 414.75 from HEJ Limited between June 23, 2006 and March 5, 2007, as well as allegedly engaging in money laundering by disposing of the sum between June 23, 2006 and October 18, 2011. Principal State Counsel Krystal Delaney was the prosecutor in the matter and Jackman represented himself.
