Landlady allegedly claims to have power over police because she’s a ‘Skelton’
On Tuesday, February 18, 2020, Nicholson said in court, that on July 28, 2018, her landlady, the Virtual Complainant (VC) was unhappy that she was using bleach and fabuloso to clean the verandah in the apartment building where she lived in Baughers Bay.
She said they had an argument and the landlady told her to handover the hose. Unwilling to hand over the hose, the defendant said the VC started tugging on it while she was trying to fill a bucket with water.
During the ordeal, the defendant said she nearly slipped and fell and decided to release the hose which was still being held by the VC. As a result, the VC fell on the rough ground and got injuries to her right knee, right elbow and right palm.
The defendant said it was then that the VC allegedly told her she would say to the police that she choked her with the hose, threatened to break her neck and assaulted her.
The defendant alleged the VC reminded her that she was a Skelton, and whatever she said to the police they would believe her, as her family’s name was weighty in the Territory.
The defendant said her job at the Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital was also threatened by the VC because her relative was the Minister at the time.
The single mother told the court that the VC also threatened to get her deported and came to her workplace to complain to her coworkers and bosses about the alleged offences.
The defendant said the VC only stopped when her lawyer, Mrs Valerie Stephens-Gordon, wrote her a letter.
Nicholson was charged with common assault and threatening language.
Last witness
The Investigating Officer Phillip Matthias, the final witness for the Prosecution, said there were no eye-witnesses or video footage and the stories of each party were different.
He said he took photos of the injuries of the body parts of the VC and conducted his investigations into the matter.
The VC had to attend the hospital for medical attention, he said.
The matter will continue on March 3, 2020.

There is more in the mortar than the pistle. This story reeks a lot of lies.
A list of dangerous looking to rent folks,is important.
When your name is KNOWN, one will suffice.
I know the Skeltons. We know the VI Skeltons and its all good,
VI history knows the Skeltons.
.......And we know Vincies,unfortunately.
Also, why is this in court again???
Note that this Vincie now making a name for herself, And so she will be identified by future landlords in the VI,
This in addition to her brand as a " Vincie".
I would love to meet her and whoever her brother is and blast them MS!
Tell her deport me!
Savage much.?
Tenants,more specifically the updeislunexpats, are horror stories to which landlords all over can attest,
Vincentians in the VI are horror stories to which all can attest.. Stories can be corrobarated by the VIPD, the media, the schools,tthe courts,the morgue.
The Skeltons are contributors to the succes of the VI Ieconomically and to the good character of its people
I rule in the favor of the landlord.
Dem Skelton better acknowledge that they were on their face not to long ago. Who gives a $#!+ about your last name. I believe the defendant.
Learn how to avoid conflict People!!
What we know for certain, is that the land lady was injured and in the presence of the tenant. Ms Skelton has little to gain by filing a false statement of assault against her tenant, Most likely the tenant has no known assets.
Don't come know your door don't call i pay my rent an time no problem with them living there for over 20+ yrs and still there they respect us as we do toooooo. Just to say not all landlord is bad yes some of them are.
Skeletons always act like their sh*8 don't stink. In full view they are die hard jehovah witnesses, law abiding citizens. Hhmmm. Not surprised at all that they throw their weight around.
