A magistrate is to rule next week whether a trial involving a senior social worker accused of dishonesty should continue.Kennette Robinson is said to have received a refund from People’s Pharmacy for a baby carrier she never purchased.She has denied the charge.Crown counsel Tawana Tannock said the social worker took the Baby Bjorn carrier off the shelf and presented it to the cashier as hers, along with a bottle of sunscreen.After a discussion, she was given a certificate for $152.70 in an envelope.Suspicious staff later looked at video footage of the incident and saw that she had taken the baby carrier from the shelf.The incident is said to have happened last June 30.Mrs Robinson’s lawyer, Larry Mussenden, asked for the charges to be dismissed due to a lack of evidence.“There is no evidence of dishonesty in this case,” Mr Mussenden said. “It’s a thousand miles away from dishonesty.”He said that Mrs Robinson was talking about possibly returning a separate carrier and was only using a model from the store as an example.When she noticed the value of the certificate two days later, Mr Mussenden said she returned it to the pharmacy, writing her name and phone number on the envelope.“The highest we get from the prosecution case is that there were two different conversations going on,” Mr Mussenden said.Ms Tannock said Mrs Robinson had been told how much the certificate would be for, and at no point attempted to correct pharmacy staff.She said: “It’s obvious by her actions that she was aware that she would receive a gift certificate for something she did not purchase.“Although inflation is sky-high, there is no way she thought she would get a $150 gift certificate for a bottle of sunscreen.”Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo said he would issue his ruling on whether the trial should continue next week.
