Vendor Captured in Viral Video Granted Bail Extension; Trial Set for November
St. James, Jamaica — In a case that has garnered widespread attention on social media, a vendor whose actions were recorded and shared online has had her bail extended as she prepares for an upcoming trial. Denese Adams, who was seen urinating in a bottle near the Charles Gordon Market in Montego Bay, is facing four charges under public health regulations.
The incident, which quickly went viral, led to Adams being identified and subsequently charged after discussions with the St. James Health Services. Her case was initially heard in September, where she pleaded not guilty to the charges. At her most recent court appearance, Adams’ lawyer was unavailable, resulting in the case being postponed to November 27. It is anticipated that her trial will commence on this date, absent any additional delays.
The incident has sparked conversations about public health practices and legal repercussions in Jamaica, drawing both sympathy and criticism from the public. As the legal proceedings continue, the case remains a focal point in discussions about public behavior and health regulations. The Jamaica Observer continues to follow the developments of this case as the trial approaches.
