Two former senior officials of the defunct Armed Forces of Liberia facing treason trail at Criminal Court –A- at the Temple of Justice have been set free after Judge Peter Gbonee Wleh announced the final verdict yesterday.Retired General Charles Julu and retired Colonel Andrew Dorbor were charged for plotting to overthrow the Unity Party led Government headed by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. According to Criminal Court –A-Judge Peter Gbonee Wleh, the State failed miserably to establish evidence in support of their claim. He said although the prosecution (State) provided seven witnesses, none was able to produce reasonable evidence that he termed “material” to the trail.
Judge Wleh made special emphasis on document that the State claimed to be a voluntary statement made by retired Colonel Andrew Dorbor. “It would have been legally prudent if the NSA had asked Mr. Dorbor to make these statements in the presence of his legal counsel”. Judge Wleh maintained.
Judge Wleh also said the distribution of Fifty United States Dollars as claimed by the prosecution in a local hotel in Ganta in the absence of a meeting does not constitute substantial evidence against the defendants. “The constitution gives the right to peacefully assembled”. The ruling which started at 1:30 pm at the Criminal Court A lasted for over five hours with Judge Peter Gbonee Wleh giving detail breakdown on various testimonies held and the application of legal interpretation thereof. After hours of deliberation at the Temple of Justice, Judge Wleh came down with a non-guilty verdict in favor of the two defendants.
