Michael Martino (Tricks) Richardson denies possessing more than $42,000 worth of cannabis, on July 7, last year, with intent to supply.

Richardson, of Northlands Lane, Pembroke, allegedly received the drugs in a video cassette recorder that was sent to Bermuda via Federal Express.

A Supreme Court jury has been told he signed for it using the name Richard Zuill.

But defence lawyer Mr. Archibald Warner and Crown Counsel Diarmuid Doorly spent most of the day locked in legal arguments while the eight-woman, four-man jury spent the day in and out of court. The trial continues this morning.
