After changing her plea from guilty to not guilty, a trial date was set in Magistrates? Court for a Hamilton Parish teenager who denied punching another woman.

?I want to get this done and go away to school,? 18-year-old Amanda Michelle Swan told Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner on Friday as she first admitted to assaulting Katrina Whitecross-Boys on Saturday April 2, 2005.

But Swan, of Radnor Estate Road, told Mr. Warner that she was not at the complainant?s Valley Lane home on the night of the alleged assault.

According to the complainant?s statement, read by Crown counsel Shakira Dill, Swan knew the complainant but the pair were not friends.

On the night of the alleged attack, the complainant said that Swan walked into her home in front of several witnesses, punched her twice in the forehead and then walked out again.

?She is accusing me of something I didn?t do,? the Bermuda College student said, adding that she was in Hamilton that night.

Swan told the court that she did get in a fight with the complainant, but in March, not April, and not at the complainant?s home.

?I was not there that night,? said Swan, who also told Mr. Warner that a witness could confirm that she never went to Ms Whitecross-Boys? home.

Upon receiving advice from duty counsel Michelle St. Jane, Swan changed her plea and agreed to Magistrates? Court trial.

Mr. Warner adjourned the matter until September 8 and released Swan on $1,000 bail.
