the job of sifting through conflicts in much of the evidence in the case.

Summing up Puisne Judge the Hon. Mrs. Justice Wade told the Supreme Court jury they would have to decide between many areas of conflicting evidence.

The trial, which has now lasted 13 days, concerns 19-year-old Bermudian Robin Young and 22-year-old New Yorker Jacqueline Martells.

Young was stopped by Customs officers at the Civil Air Terminal on Sunday, February 9 this year. Cocaine with a street value of $42,357 was found in the bottom of her bag.

Martells was on the same plane and Police arrested her in a guest house after finding links between the two.

Young denies charges of importation, conspiracy to import, possession and handling of a controlled drug. Martells denies importation and conspiracy to import the cocaine.

Mrs. Justice Wade ran through the evidence stating that experts estimated that the cocaine found in the bag could produce 339 half gram wraps which sell on the streets of Bermuda at around $125 each.

The main conflicts in evidence arise between Robin Young and her ex-boyfriend Mr. Dupray Joell and his "ace boy'' Mr. Raymond Raynor, and between the two accused and narcotics officer Det. Con. Kimberley Vickers.

Mr. Joell and Mr. Raynor say that Young had told them both, in separate conversations, that she was bringing drugs back from New York for her auntie.

Young denies this and in Raynor's case said: "I do not know where Raynor got that from because I am not close enough to Raynor to discuss my personal business with him.'' Speaking to the jury, Mrs. Justice Wade said: "You must judge whether their lawyer is right and this is a wicked invention by these young men or whether it is true.'' Both defendants claim there were problems with the procedures and statements given to Det. Con. Vickers.

The Judge said Martells claims that although she took part in a question and answer statement, in the presence of her lawyer, she had been too upset to read it before she signed it, and the Police officer misunderstood some of the things she said.

Justice Mrs. Wade said: "Does this have a ring of truth? I am sure you realise the significance of this question and answer statement if it remains unimpeached?'' The jury will be sent today after the summing up ends.
