Attorney Vonda Pile has been jailed for three years for stealing a client’s money in 2009.
However she was given credit for the 94 days she has spent on remand and will serve the remaining two years 271 days. The sentence was just imposed by Justice Pamela Beckles in the No.5 Supreme Court. The judge said the offence was so serious only a custodial sentence was appropriate.
Pile was convicted by majority verdict on June 4 this year for stealing US $96 008.22 belonging to Bajan/New Yorker businessman Anstey King. She was however found not guilty by majority verdict of money laundering. (HLE)
