importing cocaine in January.

Puisne Justice Vincent Meerabux released the seven man, five woman jury until tomorrow in the trial of Antwan Darrell, 35, and Phillip DeSilva, 56, for the importation of 100 grams of cocaine worth $50,000.

The Crown alleges Desilva, of Wentworth Lane, delivered the liquid cocaine in two souvenirs to Darrell of Woodlawn Road.

Customs officer Tanya Quinn testified she was assigned to drive to Bermuda International Airport to retrieve a package which she assumed to contain drugs on January 11.

Officer Quinn could not remember if a special US Customs waybill addressed to Police Narcotics bosses Larry Smith and Legay Farley was on the package when she picked it up.

Mark Pettingill representing Darrell, grilled officer Quinn about her knowledge of the controlled delivery of the package, making much of her assertion that the souvenirs in the package were the same she saw that day.

Officer Quinn eventually admitted the clock, fake fish and a toy train "appear to be the same''.

It has also emerged the Public Prosecutions office (DPP) requested the Government Analyst expand on a statement she made in relation to a drugs case ten months after she initially recorded it.

The move came after a drug importation case collapsed in October after the DPP failed to prove that white powder inside a package was actually cocaine.

Under questioning by Mr. Pettingill, Christine Quigley, the Government analyst, said she had been requested to expand on her statement by the DPP's office.

She was able to positively identify the substance that she tested in January to be cocaine.
