Lawyers for the 15 persons standing trial for conspiracy to, and murder of the Dagbon Overlord and his elders today prayed the court to dismiss a request by the prosecution to have the case re-opened.Lawyer Philip Addison contends that the prosecution, among other things, has failed to fully disclose fresh evidence it intends to introduce.Cyrus deGraft-Johnson who was in court on Monday said lawyer Addison pointed out that the state used illegal means to acquire the evidence and thus violated the rights of the 6th accused person, Alhassan Braimah who is facing a charge of conspiracy to murder.In the said fresh evidence which is a tape recording, the accused is alleged to have confessed to killing the Ya Naa.But Lawyer Addison has pointed out that the accused was not under investigations when the recording took place.He further wondered why the state wants to bring in 5 new witnesses to contradict the 12 who have already appeared before the fast track high court.The defence also stressed that the evidence was not credible and would have no effect on the course of the case if the prosecution is allowed to bring it in.Justice E.K Ayebi will rule on matter on Friday December 17.Source: Joy News/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
