Tiffany Conolly, the former Miss Cayman Islands Universe, will have to wait another seven weeks to learn her fate, after the Summary Court adjourned her sentencing hearing due to an incomplete social inquiry report.
“Today’s hearing will have to be adjourned, no fault of Miss Connolly, as her probation officer has been out of office for an extended period of time,” explained Magistrate Philippa McFarlane on Thursday, 20 April.
Conolly 25, of West Bay, was found guilty of all the charges against her, which consisted of two counts of assault, two counts of damage to property, two counts of assaulting police and one count of disorderly conduct.
“The evidence against you was overwhelming,” said McFarlane, as she delivered a verbal judgment against Conolly on Thursday, 9 Feb.
Conolly told the court she has met with a probation officer since her conviction, and has since been told that a new probation officer would be assigned to her who would produce the social inquiry report.
These reports are used by judges to assess the defendant when returning their ruling. The reports take into account the defendant’s upbringing, level of education, attitude towards the offence and the likelihood of reoffending, among other things.
Conolly was released on bail and is expected to return to court on Wednesday, 7 June.
Following her conviction, Conolly was replaced by first runner up Chloe Powery-Doxey, who went on to represent Cayman at the Miss Universe pageant in January.
Powery-Doxey will be officially crowned on Friday, 28 April.
