Addison is too hot tempered for his own good. Bragging about stolen evidence in a proceeding being televised and streamed over the internet world wide. Truly pathetic, and not one judge said a word.
Maybe the judges have taken into account the petitioners corrupt practices to deliver their verdict, who knows? 'our Nose'.......
It goes to prove the end result which has given the the President the impetus to believe he ...

Tsatsu did more than that......what the justices need to do is to humbly ask John Mahama not to comment on his innocence whilst the case is in court.
You are calling Mahama a thief, A president who travels worldwide in search for solutions to Ghana's problems and you want him to shut his mouth and be painted a thief by the thieves ,criminals ,and falsifiers. Mahama has eve ...

What is wrong with you? Has Tsatsu told us that an officer of the court can break the law in order to procure evidence?
Don't you think what Addison said was scandalous and clearly undermines the integrity of ...

The remark of Addison that the source of his evidence could be stolen or fabricated in court yesterday and the court allowed him to use that document to cross examined the respondent put the SC in a very awkward situation in ...

Addison did not say they stole the evidence. All he said was that it did not matter where the evidence came from. Why are we thinking that the evidence was stolen.
ECOMINI, Nobody is saying that Addison said the evidence he was presenting was stolen. All that we are saying is that it is stupid for him to say that he can present any evidence to the court no matter how tainted that eviden ...

You've said it all my good friend. I feel ashamed of what this party has turned into.
de, I don't get your point. Are you telling us that "intellectuals" should encourage the introduction of tainted evidence in court in a matter where the credibility of our electoral process is under attack? Why should Addison ...

Kwadwo Cristo, it is very sad that you only see when the inaction of the judges is prompted by the petitioners council. From the word go, it is an open secret that judge Atuguba has been a bias against the petitioners and so ...

Aboaba you a the rogue not the one you are refering to,express your views without insult because you can't be where he is.School drop outs and truants join NDC no sensible person will ever be with people with no shame.
The young man just realised that he has lost the case but trying to be rough and tough.
Addison don`t give a damn what next.After all Akufo Addo himself ain`t coming home anytime soon.
People should give intelligent comments.
Kwadwo,
These are very interesting observations, but the die was cast right at the onset of this case. Judge Atuguba should not have been on the panel in the first place, judging from the fact that his nephew who had earlier ...

Mike, are you saying that if I kill somebody to get evidence that is right? If you know where the evidence is and you are doing the right thing, why don't you use legal means to get it instead of abusing the law to get it?

Whatever, it is astonishing that our leaders don't take these matters serious. A lawyer making such contemptuous statement before the highest of the land and the justice kept quiet over it?
We are in trouble.

DeGaule, are our justices overwhelmed or too accommodating because of the sensitive and politically charged nature of the case?
I am all ears.
The SC justices are too afraid of being seen to be favouring one side or the other.This has allowed some of the lawyers to at times push the envelope too hard.
