The ex-girlfriend of 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel has had her trial delayed after suffering a beating in prison.
Bianca Rojas Latraverse, who is accused of orchestrating a brazen home invasion of Duhamel’s suburban Montreal home last December, was involved in an altercation that left her face visibly marked. Latraverse attempted to shield her face upon leaving the courtroom Friday.
The trial was set to start today (September 14, 2012) but Quebec Court Judge Anne Marie Jacques has agreed to delay the proceedings until Monday so that Latraverse can seek medical attention.
While Latraverse’s attorney claims his client was “involved in an accident”, Prosecutor Nancy Delorme stated that there was “an incident involving violence”.
Three other men were charged in the Duhamel home invasion whereby the assailants entered the premises dressed as delivery personnel then attacked the poker pro. His gold bracelet and an expensive Rolex watch along with some money taken from Duhamael’s home was later recovered.
