Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda wants the ICC to reject Paul Gicheru's request to dismiss seven witnesses in his case. Gicheru's defence lawyer Michael Karnavas, wants the chamber to reject the evidence of seven witnesses raising issues of credibility. Gicheru urged the Chamber to disregard the entire categories of evidence by attaching labels – sometimes incorrectly – such as “hearsay” or “uncorroborated” or unreliable. In support of its arguments, the Defence quotes jurisprudence selectively and out of context. "The Chamber should reject the criticisms advanced in the Defence Submissions and confirm the charges," Bensouda said.
