worth of cannabis into the Island in juice cans, got underway once again yesterday.

Last month after the trial began Puisne Judge the Hon. Mr. Justice Ground discharged the jury and ordered a retrial after a Police investigation revealed that two male jurors had drug convictions.

And it was illegal for any juror to be sworn in if convicted within the last seven years of any offence that would merit a 12-month prison sentence. Orien Derek Tuzo, 36, and Karen Rochelle Tuzo, 33, both of Boundary Lane, St.

George's, pleaded not guilty to importation and possession of cannabis with intent to supply on March 22 .

The couple are said to have used the name Astwood and Dickinson jewellers to smuggle 15 boxes of juice and syrup containing 500 pounds of cannabis into the Island.

Yesterday with all new jurors Crown Counsel Mr. Brian Calhoun said this was a case about importing drugs into Bermuda "a large amount valued at $12 million.

"It definitely arrived here from overseas and you will hear that either one of the defendants or both of them caused the drugs to be imported.

"This was a sophisticated importation scheme,'' Mr. Calhoun added "and Orion Tuzo made sure to keep his name off of things and, he had someone else go to pick-up the shipment.

"Karen Tuzo was either a party to the importation or her name was just used by her husband.'' Mr. Scott Johnson, who worked at Astwood Dickinson as a financial controller at the time of the incident, said the company never had any dealings with fruit juices and nothing was ordered or expected.

"Astwood Dickinson had nothing to do with the order and had never heard of Karen Tuzo,'' he added.

Harry Arorash, who worked at Aviation Services Bermuda at the Airport said his job was to keep track of the incoming and outgoing cargo.

"On March 22 I checked the cargo and noticed 15 cases of fruit juice from Toronto. I received a call from a man asking about the shipment and I told him that it was consigned to Astwood Dickinson on 55 Front Street. He said they must have put the wrong consigning name on the papers,'' Arorash said.

He added that he also told the caller that the paperwork also said the shipment was in care of Karen Tuzo of Boundary Lane, St. George's.

"The caller said that was the shipment he was looking for and when I told him the shipment consisted of fruit juice he said he would be down to pick it up.'' The court also heard from Sonya Grant and Jennifer Swainson who also worked in Aviation Services.

They said they also saw that the shipment forms had Astwood Dickinson and Karen Tuzo's name on it.

And in cross examination by defence lawyer, Mr. Archie Warner, both women stated that it was clear that the man who came to pick up the shipment was there to pick up a shipment for Karen Tuzo not Astwood Dickinson.

The trial continues today before Mr. Justice Ground. Mr. Melvin Douglas is assisting the Crown and Ms Victoria Pearman is assisting the defence.
