Doris Grant No-shows in Court Because Police Forgets Request

Today, Doris Grant was due in court once again, but did not make an appearance to stand for her charges. However, being that the police forgot to make a request for her removal from the Belize Central Prison, the case was adjourned. Grant was arraigned on May twentieth, 2024, on fourteen counts of theft, fourteen counts of obtaining property by deception and twelve counts of obtaining money transfer by deception. Allegations are that between the period of January first, 2022, to July 2022, by either, deception by money transfer or obtaining property by deception or through theft, Grant stole over one hundred and twenty-one thousand dollars. No plea was taken from her, and Grant was due back in court on those theft related offenses today. Grant’s attorney, Ronell Gonzalez, was surprised that his client was not brought down and only learned of her absence when he was heading to court this morning on the matter. Grant and her common-law husband, Austin Underwood, were both previously remanded to the Belize Central Prison after being charged with being a member of a gang and were held further under the state of emergency for an additional sixty days.
