What an ignorant pin head. The burden of proof in a civil trial like the election petition is not proof beyond reasonable doubt. It proof by a preponderance of the evidence

"Someone could have picked up a pink sheet, filled it in and thrown it in" as Addison said is not the preponderance of the evidence. That is wild speculation.

Okro Mouth, you are learning. It is good. You made the same mistake sometime back on SAY IT LOUD and you were corrected on that forum by the lawyers there. In teaching you on the nuances of the law, those members of that forum never insulted you.
Hope you are not going to deny this truth.
Don't forget I still go to that forum when I have the time.
So why are you insulting the writer.
We all make these kinds of mistakes. The most important thing here is that the writer made all the right points.
Be humble in life.

What I am worried about is the FINANCIAL COST to the NPP, They should be made to pay PUNITIVE COSTS to render this notorious party BANKRUPT. To teach these Akyim litigants a lesson.
I am tribalistic because I come from a tribe, just like the Asantes and Akyims are.

Including the nine justices, who took care of "Sir John".

I wonder why the petitioners cleverly avoided asking the supreme court to order for the ballot papers in the sealed ballot boxes to be examined one by one. this would have been the simplest way of ascertaining if the votes for akuffo addo were stolen and given to the current president. how do they want the supreme court to rely on what is on the face of pink sheet and declare their tin god akuffo addo president? were they afraid that if they had asked the supreme court to order for the physical counting of the ballot papers their evil hidden agenda would have exposed them? how could so called legal luminaries of the country should go the disgraceful way they went?

The very aruments that we advance may not come any where near what the SC will cite in making their decision.

IN THE ELECTION PETITION, TWO KINDS OF EVIDENCE WERE NEEDED.THE FIRST IS WITNESS FROM THE POLING AGENTS AND PRESIDING OFFICERS. THE SECOND IS THE PRIMARY DOCUMENT, WHICH IS THE PINK SHEET.
HOWEVER, THE JUDGES ASKED THE PARTIES TO SUBMIT AFFIDAVIT. IN THIS REGARD, YOU CANNOT BRING WITNESSES TO TESTIFY. HAVE YOU WONDERED WHY THE RESPONDENTS DID NOT BRING ANY WITNESES?
