Magistrate Richards said that the submissions were very recently received and she indicated that they were read but she was unable to fully "digest" them as a result the late arrival.

Sasha Hodge is charged with the alleged acquisition and possession or use of proceeds of criminal conduct.

Meanwhile, Mr Mckenzie made an oral application for the defendant to travel out of the jurisdiction sometime next week and was asked to do this in writing.

Senior Crown Counsel Valston Graham had no objection to this as he said Ms Hodge had travelled previously and had so far complied with the rules of the court and has met court dates.

Hodge, who allegedly had $427,313 in cash at her Towers, West End home, denied knowing the money was there when interviewed by police. This is according to one of the investigating officers.

Hodge’s trial began March 2, 2012 in the Magistrate’s Court with Detective Constable (DC) Elvis Richards being called as the first witness for the Crown.

Under examination, DC Richards told the court that he was one of the officers that visited Hodge’s home at Towers, West End on August 24, 2011 at about 5:30 A.M.

According to him, Hodge was "summoned to her front door with a knock from officers." He recalled that he had introduced himself as an officer in plain clothes and told her there was a warrant for her home to be searched, which she complied.

The officer testified that the police searched several rooms in Hodge’s home and a black locked bag was found in a storeroom/office. Hodge was asked to open the bag but allegedly responded that she did not have the key, DC Richards stated.

This prompted officers to break the lock and inside the bag officers found a knapsack that allegedly contained a quantity of US currency. When questioned about it, Hodge allegedly admitted that the black bag belonged to her but denied knowing about the knapsack. Hodge is currently on $250,000 bail.

The matter is to be called again on October 26, 2012 where a decision is expected to be heard on the submission.
