Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 76803, member: 636"] A Banjul judge just tossed out Abdoulie Sanyang's attempt to dodge criminal charges and told him he needs to mount an actual defense against arson and messing with court proceedings. Justice Jaiteh said prosecutors built enough of a case after bringing in six witnesses and dropping audio plus video evidence showing Sanyang allegedly admitted to paying people to torch the APRC Bureau during a West Coast Radio interview. The second charge stems from his calling the courts sketchy on live radio while talking about an ongoing case, which the judge said could tank public trust in the justice system. Media workers authenticated the broadcast recordings, and cops submitted voluntary statements Sanyang gave them. The court cited a law that only allows acquittal at this stage if prosecutors completely failed to make their case, and the evidence was solid enough to require answers from the defendant. [/QUOTE]
