Four years af­ter Dion Cross was charged for al­leged­ly stab­bing her ten-year-old sis­ter, she has been com­mit­ted to stand tri­al in the Supreme Court.

Cross, 25, was com­mit­ted on Thurs­day by San Fer­nan­do Se­nior Mag­is­trate Jo-Anne Con­nor who grant­ed her ap­proval bail in the $75,000 with a cash bail al­ter­na­tive of $15,000.

The charge al­leged that on March 26, 2015, at Solomon Street, Vista­bel­la, Cross wound­ed Cherise Cross with in­tent to do her griev­ous bod­i­ly harm. The in­ci­dent al­leged­ly stemmed from an ar­gu­ment over a tele­vi­sion re­mote at their home.

Up­on be­ing charged, Cross was ini­tial­ly de­nied bail, then grant­ed $175,000 bail which was even­tu­al­ly var­ied to $90,000. She moved in with her un­cle in Fyz­abad.

Fol­low­ing a pre­lim­i­nary in­quiry in the First Court, the mag­is­trate found that the pros­e­cu­tion, led by State at­tor­ney Re­bec­ca Trim-Wright, had made out a pri­ma fa­cie case against her.

Trim-Wright ob­ject­ed to bail based on a med­ical re­port from St Anns Psy­chi­atric Hos­pi­tal which stat­ed that she was like­ly to re-of­fend. At­tor­ney Dane Halls, in his ap­pli­ca­tion for bail on her be­half, said Cross’ moth­er in­di­cat­ed that she is com­ply­ing with in­struc­tions and tak­ing her med­ica­tion. He said the re­port stat­ed that she was very in­tel­li­gent and lu­cid in her re­spons­es.

The mag­is­trate grant­ed her bail on the con­di­tion that she re­ports to the Mara­bel­la Po­lice Sta­tion on the third Sat­ur­day of each month. Cross was al­so warned to stay away and have no con­tact di­rect­ly or in­di­rect­ly with her sis­ter.

Cross al­so has to re­side at the home of her friend at Bat­too Av­enue, Mara­bel­la.
