Case against lawyer continues tomorrow

The High Court trial of attorney-at-law Vonda Minerva Pile will continue in the No. 5 Supreme Court tomorrow.

When the matter was called for hearing today, the accused lawyer informed Madam Justice Pamela Beckles her lone witness was not available today as she was unwell.

Pile is accused of stealing US$96,008.22 belonging to her former client, Anstey King, between April 29, 2009 and October 26,
2010 and engaging in the disposal of the amount being the proceeds of crime during that time.

She has pleaded not guilty to the two charges and is currently on trial before a nine-member jury.

Pile is representing herself while acting Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Anthony Blackman and Senior Crown Counsel Krystal Delaney are the prosecutors.
