Mar 30 – Local Woman On Trial For Assault
The trial of a local woman accused of hitting another woman started this morning at the Supreme Court.
Elaine Garro is charged with assault occasioning grievous bodily harm and a lesser, alternative charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The case dates back to an incident in November 2012 when the defendant allegedly hit her partner’s ex-wife by Naval Hospital Hill. The victim reportedly sustained an injury to her left eye as a result of the assault.
Garro denies the charges and will argue that she acted in self-defence.
Chris Miles is representing her and the trial is set to last no longer than three days.
