Gibson-Marks
Former Registrar of the High Court in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Vanessa Tamara Gibson-Marks, has pleaded guilty to stealing EC$21,925 and the abuse of authority in office and will be sentenced this Friday.
Gibson-Marks, originally from St. Lucia, had pleaded not guilty to all charges and was granted bail with one surety last month about three months after Attorney General Judith Jones-Morgan asked her to resign.
IWitness News reports that Director of Public Prosecution Colin Williams discontinued the other charge — that “on May 7th, 2014 in Kingstown St. Vincent and the Grenadines being a person employed in the public service who being authorized to give a certificate touching any matter by virtue whereof the rights of any person may be prejudicially affected did give a certificate which was to your knowledge false in a material particular to wit an order claim 96/1980”.
