Monrovia – The trial of former Defense Minister Brownie Samukai and two others former officials of the Ministry of National Defense has been suspended for a week due to a reported illness of two of the three defendants. The Presiding Judge of Criminal Court ‘C’, Judge Yarmie Quiqui Gbeisay, ruled that the case be suspended for a week to afford Defendants Joseph P. Johnson and J. Nyumah Dorkor seek medical attention. “Your honor defense requests for the adjournment of today’s trial due to the fact that co-defendants in person of Nyumah Dorkor and Joseph Johnson are ill. There is a medical certificate to that effect to be presented to the court,” said Cllr. He further ruled that it would have been “enough to carry his pressure up.”The Criminal Court ‘C’ Judge assured that the court is out to expeditiously handle the matter for the public interest.
