A Supreme Court jury found a woman accused of slashing another woman's face with a broken bottle guilty of unlawful wounding.

Sharde Dorika Hassell, 21 of Pembroke was found guilty of wounding victim Janai Caldwell by a majority verdict after more than five hours of deliberation yesterday. Her co-defendant, Janika Ashley Powell, 21 of St. George's was found not guilty.

Hassell was visibly emotional with tears streaming down her face after the verdict was given.

The court heard during Ms Caldwell's testimony at the start of the trial last week Monday, on Friday, May 25 last year she and her friend Jennifer Achadinha went to the Mid Atlantic Boat Club in Devonshire at about 11 p.m. to 11.30 p.m. where she got into a confrontation with a group of girls.

The court heard that as they were leaving the club one of the girls, Tiffany Smith, threw a drink at their car and heckling between the two groups began.

Int eh early hours of May 26, the pair headed east along North Shore Road then turned up Palmetto Road when they realised they were being chased by a white car where Ms Smith was a passenger, Mr. Ferreira the driver and, in the back seat, a light skinned girl, Hassell, a brown skinned girl, Powell and Powell's mother, Lorna, the court heard.

Both cars pulled over on St. John's Road and all seven people left the vehicles.

Ms Caldwell told the jury she was shoved by Hassell and didn't have a chance to react because she was restrained and her hair was pulled. However, she wasn't able to say who did what.

Moments later, she felt a blow to her head and felt blood dripping down her face.

"I just saw red. I was covered in blood. It was very warm and pulsating. It was pretty much all more than but the one on my cheek was hanging so that's the one I felt the most."

The attack left Ms Caldwell with visible scars needing steroid injections and laser treatments.

Hassell alleged during the trial she was beaten by Ms Caldwell on St. John's Road. She told the court the victim flung her to the ground, got on top of her and banged her head on the pavement repeatedly, punched her in the face and pulled her hair.

Hassell admitted wounding Ms Caldwell with an object she found it in the road. However, she was unable to say what the object was.

Puisne Judge Charles-Etta Simmons remanded Hassell into custody and ordered reports. She will appear for mention at the June arraignments.
