The defendant is on trial before Magistrate Rochelle Liverpool in the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court. She is being represented by attorney-at-law Latchmie Rahamat.
According to information received, on the defendant’s first court appearance she was remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan based on public safety. However, Jaffarally approached the High Court for bail and she was released on $10,000, bail.
