-to call witness

Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan ruled that sufficient evidence has been led against Samantha Green, who is currently on trial for allegedly trafficking marijuana.
Yesterday, Green who was allegedly busted with 990 grammes of marijuana on April 12, at Lot 92 Campbellville, Georgetown, was called on to lead a defence.
The 39-year-old defendant elected to give an unsworn testimony and will call a witness in her defence when the matter continues on July 12.
She is being represented by Attorney-at-Law Euclin Gomes and is out on High Court bail.
Corporal Christopher Dharamraj, who is attached to the Narcotics Branch, Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters, Eve Leary, Georgetown, said that he was in charge of investigations.
According to Corporal Dharamraj, after receiving information he led a party of policemen to a house at the above mentioned address, where ranks positioned themselves at various locations. The witness recalled that he saw Constable Singh speaking to Green.
“Constables Singh and Azeez entered the house. I stood at the back door where I was in clear view of the kitchen area and Samantha Green,” Corporal Dharamraj said.
The Corporal stated that he saw several bags on the floor in the kitchen area containing groceries. He said that Constable Singh told him something and he began asking the defendant a series of questions.
The police witness recalled that Constable Singh told him that he had found a quantity of narcotics in a Karibee rice bag. He said that the bag containing the narcotics was shown to him and thereafter Green was escorted to the Narcotics Branch.
Upon arrival at CID, he said that he reported his finding to the Officer in Charge.
Corporal Dharamraj related that based on instructions he received from his superior, he revisited the house the following day. He stated that he made several checks for another person who Green had implicated in the drug bust.
“After making several calls I got no response. I made enquiries from the southern neighbour but no useful information was obtained.”
