21-year-old Barrisha Gordon has been granted $5,000 bail for allegedly discarding a foetus in a garbage bin.
Sanitation workers found a foetus inside a brown paper bag among garbage in March 2020 in the vicinity of Hoppers Playing Field.
The Green Bay woman presented herself to a police station days later where she allegedly admitted to the crime and was charged with concealment of birth.
The conditions of her bail is that Gordon was ordered to pay $1,500 in cash, provide two sureties, surrender her travel documents and report to a police station three times a week.
She is expected to return to court on November 19.
A post-mortem was also reportedly conducted on the foetus which revealed that it had died due to stillbirth.

I was hoping that the name would habe been ommited. This is sort of sensitive and we live in a small society. A 21 year old will be ridiculed for life for what could be well from a result of mental illness.
This is Antigua people we are talking about. One of their greatest pleasures is to name and shame. You lucky they did not post her picture to.
Agreed!
Hopefully the young lady gets some help in the area where she really needs it. I wish her the best in life.
I don’t the young lady’s story but I sympathize with her. We don’t know what she’s going through or what she went through for her to do what she did but I pray that she gets all the help she needs, spiritually, emotionally and physically. Lord, help her.
