Parris’s attorney, told the court that on the day in question her client placed all monies into the designated vault, which is required after each transaction. She also told the court that the area where Parris worked has security cameras.
The prosecution objected to bail due to the serious nature of the offence. Further, on the day in question 16 patients conducted business and the defendant did not submit the required financial documents.
The attorney said too that the security camera was not working at the time of the incident neither was it positioned to the defendant’s workstation.
The matter was adjourned until May 9, 2025.
