Jasmine Hartin, who is a big socialite, is facing some time behind bars after facing manslaughter by negligence charge.
Hartin shot a cop, Henry Jemmott, who was a friend, back in late May and she says it was just an unfortunate accident.
In an interview with DailyMail, she explains what really happened and says that she only had the gun because Jemmott was teaching her how to use it because she was almost raped at a party days earlier.
‘Henry was my friend. It was an accident, I didn’t flee the scene. The first thing I did was call the police myself.
‘There’s literally not a day that goes by when I don’t cry and my frigging chest doesn’t hurt and ache for his kids, for his family, for him.
‘There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t cry for the loss of a friend and the pain the family are going through. It’s something that will never leave me. Henry was a great man. He was protecting me.’
‘I was at a party the weekend before and I was going to bed when a guy got very aggressive with me,’
‘He threw me onto the bed, my head smoked off a concrete wall. He was trying to kiss me and pull my pants off. I was scared I was going to be raped but I fought him off.’
‘I grabbed my bag and I ran out into the road and that’s where I rang Henry. I waited for an hour before he could have dispatch come and pick me up. About an hour later he came to collect me,’ she said.
‘Henry told me, take my firearm, I want you to get comfortable with it. That whole night he said you need to learn to protect yourself, we need to get you a gun license.
‘He thought I was in danger and he made me promise I wouldn’t go to any parties without protection.’
For now, Hartin is out on bail.
