However, Quintyne contended that she could not make any order for the release of anything, since a report on the seizure of the items was not laid before her.
"Where is the report? This is the first time I am hearing that there is a car seized and cellphones," she lamented.
She said there must be some evidence or statements before the items are released to Boodram or a person designated by him. She said she must have the particulars of the items and hear from both Boodram and the prosecution before a formal order is made.
Boodram then took the witness stand, where he testified that on January 19 after his arrest police seized his white Toyota Hilux, a quantity of cash and his Samsung S5 and Ram cellphones.He asked that the items be returned to him or his common-law wife Anisa Dindial.
Constable Devon Andall, who arrested and charged Boodram, confirmed that the items were seized and were not being used for any charge or matter before the court.
Quintyne then made the formal order for the release of the items.
She also told Valere the fact that the admission will be done "does not mean he will get a trial date. The court has to be space ready."
