Ms Franks, 56, of Hill Crescent, Pembroke, was bailed by Puisne Judge Carlisle Greaves.Also before the judge was Devon Hewey, 21, who is accused of the attempted murder of two men. Prosecutors say he tried to kill Lavon Thomas and Darren Thompson on March 24 in Pembroke. He is further accused of using a firearm to commit the offences on Reid Street, Hamilton.Mr Hewey, of Palmetto Road, Pembroke, pleaded not guilty to the charges and his trial was fixed for August 6.

The judge bailed him and fixed his trial date for August 6.A string of people recently convicted of fraud also appeared in court.Kyril Burrows and Delcina Bean-Burrows have been in custody since they were convicted on May 14 of pocketing almost $543,000 of public money. Prosecutor Susan Mulligan explained that pre-sentence reports on the pair are yet to be completed.Mr Burrows asked the judge for bail, telling him: “We have young children in school.”However, referring to the three-month trial that resulted in guilty verdicts against them, Mr Justice Greaves said: “They always say when you come to court, prepare for the worst. You had a long trial and you had plenty of time to prepare for your children.”He remanded them back into custody until the next arraignments session.Lorraine Smith and Audra-Ann Bean were convicted in April of senior abuse against their elderly grandmother, Lenice Tucker. They deceived the 87-year-old into adding their names to her bank accounts just days after her 91-year-old sister Lesseline died in July 2010. They then siphoned off almost half a million dollars for their own use.Yesterday, defence lawyer Larry Mussenden said a pre-sentence report on one of the women was not ready. He also complained that they are trying to transfer the money back to the victim, but the prosecution has not been cooperating with the necessary “consent order”.However, prosecutor Garrett Byrne said there is a freezing order on the accounts in question and it would be appropriate for that to remain in place until the court can make any reparation or confiscation order necessary on the sentencing date.Mr Justice Greaves remanded the pair into custody until the next arraignments session when it is anticipated that a sentencing date will be fixed. However, he said they might be sentenced before that if the reports are ready sooner.Also appearing before the judge was former banking executive Barbara Tannock who plundered $76,500 from the life savings of an elderly couple and spent it on her own debts.Tannock, 42, was vice president of private banking at Capital G when she stole from Alice and Vorhees Place.
