An array of forensic reports and testimonies from 30 witnesses is expected to anchor the State’s manslaughter case against 25-year-old Kaia Sealy, who said she was left paralysed in a police-involved shooting earlier this year that claimed the life of her husband, Joshua Samaroo.

While Samaroo was fatally shot by police, Sealy was charged with his unlawful killing, given that she had allegedly shot first at officers, resulting in the lawmen returning fire and striking Samaroo 19 times.

She is also facing a number of other charges, including possession of a firearm and ammunition, and shooting at police officers.
