St. Kitts and Nevis Crown Prosecutor Granted Bail Under Strict Conditions
Basseterre, St. Kitts – In a dramatic development, Shantrice Dorset, a Crown Prosecutor in St. Kitts and Nevis, has been granted bail under stringent conditions as she awaits further legal proceedings. The court's decision comes after Dorset was charged with multiple serious offenses, including accessory after the fact to murder and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Dorset's bail conditions are designed to ensure her compliance with the judicial process. She is required to report to the Basseterre Police Station three times per week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays—between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Additionally, she must surrender all travel documents and is prohibited from leaving the jurisdiction, with a stop order in place at all ports of entry and exit in St. Kitts and Nevis.
Furthermore, Dorset must reside with her family in Basseterre and is strictly forbidden from contacting any prosecution witnesses, including Khyron Phillip, Bejay Tuckett, Jahzya R. Wilkerson, or any of their associates, whether directly or indirectly. The court has clarified that any breach of these conditions will result in the immediate revocation of her bail.
Dorset was arrested in January 2025 and had been seeking bail since then. The charges against her stem from allegations that she facilitated the escape of Khyron Phillip, a fugitive wanted for murder and other serious crimes. Dorset is accused of using her position and legal knowledge to assist Phillip in evading police capture and avoiding prosecution.
The case has garnered significant attention, with many in the community closely following the proceedings. The strict bail conditions imposed on Dorset reflect the gravity of the charges and the court's commitment to ensuring justice is served.
As the legal process continues, the nation watches closely, awaiting further developments in this high-profile case.
