A woman has been charged with knocking a teenager off his bike while driving her car drunk, leaving him seriously injured.

Shakir Amory was 16 years old at the time of the collision on South Road, Devonshire, late on March 6.

The CedarBridge student suffered head injuries, multiple fractures and internal injuries and had to be flown to the United States for treatment.

Smith's resident Angela Ambrosini, 37, was charged at Supreme Court yesterday with causing grievous bodily harm to Shakir, now 17, through driving while impaired.

She is further accused of driving a car while under the influence.

Ambrosini denied both charges and was granted bail by Puisne Judge Carlisle Greaves until her trial on November 1.

She was one of 18 defendants who appeared before Mr. Justice Greaves during the monthly arraignment session.

Another was "Facebook fugitive" Alvone Maybury who admitted to escaping custody but denied a string of gun charges.

Maybury, 24, famously ran away from prison guards escorting him to court on July 13.

He posted updates on his run from the law on his Facebook page, but was found two weeks later, hiding in a garden shed.

Maybury was brought to Supreme Court yesterday wearing a large white diamond on his orange prison uniform, designating him an escape risk.

After pleading guilty to escaping but not guilty to possessing a gun and ammunition and firing a gun last December he was remanded into custody.

Mr. Justice Greaves fixed his trial for September 27, and he will be sentenced for the escape after the outcome of that trial.

In another case, a customs officer and another man denied charges connected with an alleged $100,000 cannabis importation plot.

Bromwin Thompson, 36, is accused of conspiring together with Shannon Berkeley, 41, and "persons unknown" to bring cannabis and cannabis resin to the Island.

Thompson, from Southampton, is also accused of using his employment in public service to corruptly obtain or receive money.

He's further alleged to have possessed cannabis with intent to supply it on May 20, 2009.

Berkeley, from Warwick, is a tradesman who does not work for Government.

The men denied all the charges and were granted bail until their trial on February 7, 2011.

Meanwhile, the trial of a couple facing fraud charges relating to their company, Emerald Financial Capital, has been delayed once again.

David and Antoinette Bolden face 24 charges of stealing and money laundering over funds allegedly taken from the company between May 2007 and January 2009.

They are further alleged to have knowingly issued misleading documents, and filed information to the Bermuda Monetary Authority which was false and misleading, between September 20 and October 20, 2008.

They were charged with those offences in March. They deny the allegations, but their trial has been repeatedly delayed due to their inability to secure legal representation.

Yesterday, lawyer Kyle Masters from the firm Trott and Duncan said it does wish to represent the couple. However, he said for reasons that are "not for public consumption", that had yet to be arranged.

Supreme Court has previously heard the couple are experiencing problems hiring a lawyer because their assets have been frozen.

Mr. Justice Greaves complained: "This case has now made history. It's the longest case on our calendar without trial for the last five years."

He set another hearing for Friday before Chief Justice Richard Ground, who has previously been dealing with the matter.
