Champagne Paris Back in Court, Case Adjourned Yet Again

Perfilio Rodriguez

The trial of twenty-six year old Perfilio Rodriguez, aka “Vanessa Paris Champagne,” was set to commence on Monday for the offense of Aggravated Assault with a knife upon Golda Orozco, the sister of the Executive Director of UNIBAM, Caleb Orozco. But when both sides did not show up, the matter was further adjourned for this morning and again Golda did not turn up. The norm is that the case would be struck out, but at the request of the prosecution, a final adjournment was granted for February ninth, 2015. The incident for which Perfilio is charged goes back to June 2014, at Zericote Street in Belize City where Golda reported to police that while at her home, Perfilio assaulted her with a knife. While on bail, Perfilio was charged for an alleged burglary in the Dangriga area and is on remand for that incident.
