PERSPECTIVE BY: THE NEWS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS-IPNEWS

QUESTIONS ARE CURRENTLY BEING ASKED AS TO WHY THE POLICE ARRESTED AND THE STATE INDICTED JUSTICE GLORIA MUSU SCOTT AND THREE MEMBERS OF HER FAMILY AND KEPT THEM IN PRISON WITHOUT EVIDENCE AFTER OVER FOUR MONTHS OF POLICE INVESTIGATION.

CRIMINAL COURT A, HIS HONOUR ROOSEVELT Z. WILLIE, RULED ON TUESDAY JULY 4, 2023, AND MANDATED THE PROSECUTION OR GOVERNMENT OF LIBERIA TO TURN OVER ALL MATERIAL PIECES OF EVIDENCE INCLUDING POLICE REPORTS, AUTOPSY REPORTS, CORONER’S REPORT, PICTURES OF THE MURDER WEAPON, ETC, RELIED UPON BY THE GOVERNMENT TO CHARGE CLLR. SCOTT, 80-YEAR-OLD REBECCA YOUDEH WISNER, GERTRUDE NEWTON, AND ALICE JOHNSON WITH MURDER, CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY AND MAKING FALSE REPORTS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.

HE GOVERNMENT OF LIBERIA HAS FLAGRANTLY FAILED OR REFUSED TO PRESENT ALL EVIDENTIAL MATERIALS TO CLLR. SCOTT AND FAMILY OR THEIR LEGAL TEAM AS MANDATED BY THE JUDGE.

SOME LEGAL MINDS, FRIENDS, AND FAMILY MEMBERS OF JUSTICE SCOTT SEE THE GOVERNMENT’S FAILURE OR REFUSAL TO ABIDE BY THE COURT’S MANDATE AS AN INDICATION THAT THE POLICE AND PROSECUTORS MIGHT STILL BE SEARCHING FOR, OR MANUFACTURING THE EVIDENCE OR PIECES OF EVIDENCE AGAINST THE ACCUSED.

JUSTICE SCOTT’S FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS HAVE DESCRIBED THE WHOLE CASE AND THE ATTITUDE OF STATE PROSECUTORS AS A MERE POLITICAL WITCH HUNT MEANT TO JUST EXERCISE RAW POWER AND ABUSE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS, AND A COMPLETE SCAPEGOATING ON THE PART OF THE GOVERNMENT OF LIBERIA.

MEANWHILE, JUSTICE SCOTT’S LEGAL TEAM HAS FILED A BILL OF INFORMATION TO THE COURT AGAINST THE STATE’S FAILURE OR REFUSAL TO ABIDE BY THE COURT’S MANDATE CONTAINED IN THE RULING ON TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023.

THE DEFENSE LAWYERS, IN THEIR EARLIER MOTION TO CRIMINAL COURT ‘A’, ALSO PRAYED THE COURT TO COMPEL THE STATE TO PRESENT MINUTES OF THE JURY’S MEETINGS AND DELIBERATIONS UPON WHICH THE INDICTMENT WAS DRAWN, AS IN KEEPING WITH LAW.
