posted (November 27, 2013)

Another accused person who is waiting on the judge to determine her guilt is 39 year-old Marsha Reid. Her trial for murder, which was done without jury, concluded today before Justice Denis Hanomansingh in the Southern Session of the Supreme Court.

As we told you, Senior Crown Counsel Cecil Ramirez was able to get her confession statement, in which she admitted to stabbing her lover, BDF Corporal Donovan Castillo, accepted as evidence against her.

Reid told the court from the dock that she stabbed him in the neck in self-defence after they had a fight. That is contrary to her confession statement where she told police that she was the one who attacked first.

Justice Hanomansingh has deferred his judgment on the case until December 17, after careful consideration of all the evidence.
