Outstanding legal aid funding has prevented Judith Douglas from entering pleas in relation to an alleged rental scam.
“We are still awaiting legal aid in this matter, so there is no progress that can be made today,” said attorney Prathna Bodden on Tuesday, while standing in for Jonathon Hughes, who represents Douglas.
Douglas, 57, of Bodden Town, faces five counts of obtaining property by deception in connection to the alleged rental scam, following multiple complaints from people claiming that she had taken money from them as cash deposits for leasing a property that she did not own or have the right to rent.
Douglas was initially arrested Sunday, 5 March, and has remained in custody since then. She has made two court appearances, on 8 and 21 March, both via video link, and has not made any applications for bail.
The matter returns to court on 4 April.
