Jasmine Hartin is a free woman in Belize after being spared jail in 2021 ... trends now
Socialite Jasmine Hartin, who was handed just a $37,000 fine for killing a Belizean police chief with his own gun, was spotted out and about wearing a blue flowered sundress while grabbing a bottle of water in Belize City Wednesday.
The Canadian-born former 'daughter-in-law' of billionaire Lord Michel Ashcroft walked free after she entered her guilty plea in the Supreme Court.
Belizean law allows for a defendant who enters a guilty plea to avoid jail time by paying a fine established by the court.
Hartin also must complete 300 hours of community service and she must record a video about the dangers of 'drinking and making foolish decisions.'
Judge, Ricardo Sandcroft also disqualified Hartin from possession of any license for two years.

Hartin, 33, initially denied responsibility over the death of Superintendent Henry Jemmott but pleaded guilty to manslaughter by negligence at a hearing in April.
The estranged partner of Tory grandee Lord Ashcroft's son Andrew had previously insisted the officer's death was a 'horrible accident'.
Jemmott was killed by a shot to the head while he and Hartin were drinking together late at night on a pier in 2021, near Ashcroft's luxury hotel on the island of Ambergris Caye.
Hartin claimed Jemmott had offered to teach her how to use his Glock-17 pistol for her protection.
She wept in court as she entered a guilty plea to manslaughter by negligence at the last-minute before her trial was due to take place.
Jemmott's widow Romit Wilson, 39, criticised Hartin's behaviour throughout the court case, accusing the socialite of conducting an 'international PR campaign'.
Wilson, who had three children with Jemmott, broke her silence to tell the Daily Mail Hartin had sought to portray herself as the victim.
She previously told this newspaper: 'I have not given any interviews to any media houses since the day Henry was killed.
