The court heard that on February 18, 2006, a search by the Rapid Response Unit (RRU) was carried out at the defendant’s home at about 5:30 p.m.
Their search of the house was fruitless, but a search conducted on Josephâs person revealed a black bag containing 32 small packages of a substance resembling cocaine in her underwear.
Upon being questioned by the Magistrate, the defendant said she found the substance and decided to take it. “You’re a very stupid woman and a liar,” the Magistrate said.
