Attorney-at-law Vonda Pile is back in court, but as a defence counsel, after completing a three-year prison sentence for stealing a client’s funds.
She entered an appearance for a serious bodily harm accused in the District ‘A’ Traffic Court on Thursday.
However, questioned after the court appearance about whether she was back at her practice, she replied that she has never given any statements and that had not changed.
Her client, David Eric Dupre of Layne’s Road, Brittons Hill, St Michael, is charged with doing serious bodily harm to Keith Barrow with intent to maim, disfigure or disable him or do some serious bodily harm to him, on December 11, 2015.
Pile asked the court for disclosure in the matter. In reply, Magistrate Alison Burke said that according to the court files, Dupre had already been served with those documents.
However, the accused said he did not receive any and Pile again requested a copy.
The case was adjourned to May 11 and Dupre remains on $3 000 bail. Pile served a sentence at Dodds after she was convinced of theft of $191 416. 39 from Anstey King between April 29, 2009, and October 26, 2010.
She has consistently maintained her innocence. The veteran attorney challenged the conviction and sentence before the Court of Appeal and the Caribbean Court of Justice but was unsuccessful at both courts.
