Meena Broom told the court that she was scared and isolated in Jersey after coming to the Island with her partner from High Wycombe in December 2005.
Broom told an Assize jury that she and Thomas Mawer, both former drug addicts, had come to the Island to start a new life away from the UK.
During December 2005 and January 2006 she had no idea that her fiancé and Michael Anthony Waite, her co-accused, were importing and selling heroin – although she was now aware that they had been.
Crown Advocate Matthew Jowett, in cross-examination of Broom, presented handwritten evidence showing percentages, weights and how the profits of the deal – which it is alleged that the defendants were gaining from – were to be divided.
