White Devil I Episode 13 - Bonus: Catching Up With Jasmine Hartin

March 4, 2025·44 min·3 clips

Two months after their custody settlement, Jasmine discovered Andrew had signed a prosecution witness statement against her in the Belize wrongful death civil suit.

The purse is the detail that changes the temperature. Jasmine says a witness described her clothing in striking detail, down to shoes, pants, bra, and underwear, but said nothing about a purse. Then, two years later, Jasmine says the same witness claimed there had been a purse while also saying she did not know where it was. The host responds with blunt disbelief. Jasmine's lawyer had a photo printed of her purse at the scene of the crime at 6:55 AM, hours after she says she was detained at 1:50 AM. Jasmine says that should have counted. According to her, the lawyer showed the photo while the witness was on the stand and tried to tender it into evidence, but the judge refused it. The host says that sounds wildly improper. Jasmine treats the refusal as one reason she believes she is being railroaded, because the photo would hit the witness's reliability directly. Her lawyer pushes harder. He argues the witness cannot be trusted and says the matter needs to move up to Supreme Court. The process sounds technical, but the stakes feel sharp. Jasmine explains that they must notify the current magistrate, giving her a chance to recuse herself or dismiss the case before they go higher. The hope is objectivity. Supreme Court, in Jasmine's view, should have higher standards and be harder to influence, though she stops short of sounding sure. Her trust is already damaged. She says Supreme Court revoked her bail with 45 minutes' notice, which she calls completely illegal. The show catches listeners up fast. It reminds them that Frank Habet, the general manager of Grand Colony, had originally posted Jasmine's bail after the shooting, then dramatically rescinded it after new charges surfaced.
