Joseph was represented by attorney-at-law Mr. Paul Fung-a-Fat, who had, unsuccessfully, requested that the defendant be released on his own recognisance, as he was already on $15,000 station bail.
Defence counsel said Yamster had pushed out his hand from a minibus and slapped Joseph.

Police Corporal Seon Blackman, prosecuting, did not object to the pre-trial liberty for either defendant and Yamster was ordered to post $15,000 surety until he and the other defendant return to court on April 9.
