The prosecution has been granted one final adjournment to produce its file in an alleged 2025 supermarket theft case against driving instructor Summer Rain Heal.
Heal, a 45-year-old driving instructor of College, Savannah, St John, is accused of stealing a quantity of fruits and vegetables, packs of stew, beef, pork, pork shoulder, quarter-pound burgers, snacks, cans of tuna and corned beef, and other food items all valued at $1 058, belonging to Massy Supercentre Warrens, on July 27, 2025.
She pleaded not guilty to the charge.
When the case was again called in the No. 1 District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court, Sergeant Reginald Blackman requested an adjournment, saying that no file had yet been produced.
Heal’s attorney, Senior Counsel Mitchell Gittens, however, insisted that the case was a simple one before asking for it to be dismissed.
“We have been coming here for sometime and we don’t even have partial disclosure.” she said.
Agreeing that the matter was a simple one, Acting Chief Magistrate Douglas Frederick granted the prosecution a final adjournment of the case.
“October 6 is the final day of reckoning. If they don’t have a file, it goes through the door,” he said.
