The defence has argued that her whole face should be seen so the jury could decide on the veracity of her evidence.
But prosecutor Mark Ritter told the court that Tasneem had not shown her face in public in more than 18 years and would find it stressful to reveal her features to strange men.

So before the case started, someone must have been given the impression that she would not remove it. There was obviously a discussion in court as both sides in the case had this impression, and the Judge had to rule on the issue.
