Next Monday, October 29, 2012 will see the lawyers of the Government of
Liberia and defense counsel of the seven Grand Gedeans charged with
murder, rape, etc in a legal tussle at the Supreme Court of Liberia. The
government took the lower Magisterial Court on summary proceeding
before the Chamber Justice seeking reprieve.
According to
information gathered from the Court, the government prosecutors ran to
the Supreme Court to stop the Magistrate from freeing the seven men, who
are currently detained at the Central Prison at South Beach. The
prosecution said they believe the Magisterial Court was leaning towards
granting the seven men their liberty.
The Defense Counsel for the seven men, Cllr. Dempster Brown has
confirmed the information. "We are going to argue the case at the
Supreme Court on Monday," Cllr. Brown said, "the government does not
have case against these people."
The seven Grand Gedeans are
Nezee Barway, Isaac Taryon, Michael Cole, Prince Youty, James Cooper,
Stephen Gloto, and Nimely Tere Antoine. The arrest and detention of
Bobby Sarpee Julu and brings the number of Grand Gedeans in detention to
nine (9).
Meanwhile, the Concerned Grand Gedeans in the
Americas have found a legal representation for Mr. Oforie Diah. He is
being represented by Cllr. Brown.
