Gary and Julie-Ann were on their way home in a cab when the two allegedly got into a fight, their cab driver Daniel Shepherd claimed. He said Julie-Ann accused Gary of doing cocaine, Page Six reported at the time.
"They both got out of the taxi and Daniel describes Mrs. Goldsmith slapping her husband to the face," prosecutor Kate Shilton alleged as she recounted the cabbie’s version of events in court Tuesday. "Daniel then describes how Mr. Goldsmith punches her hard in the face using a left hook.”
"Mrs. Goldsmith has then fallen backwards. He says, 'She appears to be unconscious, she isn't moving,’” the prosecutor continued. "Julie-Ann then becomes upset, starts crying and uses some railings to assist her."
