The lawyers for the six defendants, La'auli Leuatea Schmidt, Fepuleai Faimata Su'a, Samuelu Su'a, Sivai Kepi, Lise-Marie Schmidt and Li'o Fa'ataumalama presented their submissions based on the contradictory testimony of prosecution witness Marie Tusi.

Judge Talasa adjourned the court to 10 am on Wednesday to deliver the ruling.
