Well-known Bahamian handbag designer Harl Taylor was accused of throwing and American woman against a wall when his causing harm case opened in Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
Kathleen Dwyer, an American who has brought charges against Mr. Taylor, testified that Mr. Taylor “grabbed” her arms and “threw” her into a wall when she went to Mountbatten House, his place of business.
During the first day of trial in Magistrate’s Court number 13 Nassau Street, Mrs. Dwyer was the first witness to take the stand. In her testimony, she told thee court, that when she went to see Mr. Taylor about her contract with him, which entailed him furnishing and decorating her condo at Caves Point, and the $100,000 that she had wired him, she was told he was not there.
She went in to use the bathroom upstairs where she saw Mr. Taylor.
She then told the court, “He jumped on me and came after me. He grabbed me at my arms and threw me into the wall.”
