So, in our first segment, you saw Shyne Barrow, an ex-con, become leader of the opposition - a quite unbelievable career reversal. And, in another reversal, tonight another famous figure who is herself no stranger to the law is back behind bars.
She's 32-year-old Jasmine Hartin, the Canadian who became the target of a multitude of international cameras after the she allegedly killed Superintendent Henry Jemmott, the man she calls a dear friend and a good man.
Cherisse Halsall caught up with Hartin in San Ignacio in the moments before she was put back under lockdown.
I'm here in front of the San Ignacio police station where just moments ago Jasmine Hartin was arrested on a charge of common Assault.
This after, an outburst on San Pedro where the 32 year old mother of two made a forceful but futile attempts to visit her children.
Tonight, we bring you her first on camera interview:
Yesterday, we watched Hartin and her new bodyguard walk off in San Ignacio after she'd done her daily check in. And while yesterday's appointment seemed all but routine, today Jasmine's fears were affirmed when she was put back into a cellblock.
Jasmine Hartin
"I'd like to know why, I'd like to know what my charge is for?"
Police Officer
"According to San Pedro Police you are detained for Common Assault."
Jasmine Hartin
"Yeah, who did I assault?"
Police Officer
"I cannot comment."
Jasmine Hartin - Arrested for Common Assault
"Right now I'm just trying to process the fact that I'm being detained and the officer here is unable to tell me why. He says that apparently there's a charge against me. All I did was try to collect my personal belongings and see my children. I've obeyed every single court order, I've done absolutely nothing wrong here. This is absolutely ridiculous. I was warned yesterday by Godfrey Smith that the police were going to try to do something like this to me so I'm not very surprised but I have a feeling I know who's behind it's not a coincidence that this is coming from San Pedro."
The warning came from Alliance attorney Godfrey Smith in a phone call to Hartin.
Our news team had been tipped off that Hartin would likely speak today. We'd expected it to happen in a public place. But when we got there we were shocked to find her giving an impromptu press conference in the middle of being detained.
Cherisse Halsall
"You said to me that the Ashcroft alliance did not allow you to express condolences to Henry's family would you like to have the opportunity to have this platform to now express those condolences."
Jasmine Hartin
I'm beside myself, this is ridiculous we were friends for year s and he was a good man. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about Henry, he's my friend he was a protector and I have to live with the fact that I had this horrible accident. I miss him I feel for his family and his children and I haven't been allowed to say that. I was instructed by Godfrey Smith and the Ashcroft's to not say that. So, I'm sorry that I had to keep that in this whole time but now I'm being detained so if you can please help me and figure this out, I don't know why I'm being detained, this is crazy."
It's a detention, that at least in Jasmine's opinion is completely unjust, the result of an emotional outburst she says she was driven to after being separated from her twins.
But if you'd hear the Ashcroft Alliance's tv station channel 5, she saw her children at least once. But according to her that solitary visit occurring shortly after her release was the moment she claims Andrew chose to deliver custody papers.
Jasmine Hartin
"When he gave me those papers, I was shocked, hurt, confused but I refused to sign that, I refused to sign that. But there will be things coming out about Andrew very soon and previous custody issues that we've had in the past."
Now, Jasmine is on the attack against her former partner and with him the entire Ashcroft empire.
Cherisse Halsall
"Now, you've said that Andrew has wanted to distance himself and clear his name, why would he need to do that?"
Jasmine Hartin
"I think it might be difficult for him to clear his name after this because I have been protecting his name for so long but it might be time to come out about all of his past and what he has done and in fact I will be coming out with that very soon, I'm speaking with my lawyer in Canada bout this."
And what does the socialite feel about her bouts of detention in Belize's prison's?
Jasmine Hartin
"Prison is easier than being away from my children. I would go to prison every day if it meant that I could have my kids. This is horrible the worst ever that he's done to me is take my kids from me right now. And now I'm being detained again.0"
And shortly before Hartin was booked we asked her about that day after the water taxi, and why she'd been crying inconsolably.
Cherisse Halsall
"Can you just clarify for me, what was really happening at that water taxi, why were you so inconsolable that morning."
Jasmine Hartin
"There was an article out today actually in the Daily, you'll see everything about that. So I was attacked at a party and it was Henry that I called to come and help me. I was meant to stay the night there. I was uncomfortable I was in a very bad situation with another person that was at the party and he came and took me away from a dangerous situation."
Hartin remains in the San Ignacio cell block awaiting her attorney. It is likely that this charge, a violation of her bail conditions will land her right back at the Kolbe Foundation.
