The Resident Judge of the Circuit Criminal Court "B" at the Temple of Justice says that he has found no legal grounds and legal reasons to conform to an earlier request of the State prosecutors to disqualify him from presiding over further trials of Senator Roland Kaine and others in the Timor murder case.

I read your question "why can'ts the prosecuters encourage some of the suspects to spit the truth?"
From your question, I can see that you have not been following the case. I can tell that you do not know the area wher the murder took place. In addition, you do not know Senator Kaine. If you have been following this case, there were statements made at the day of the arrest at the police station and signed by various individuals. the prosecutors have brought several witnesses, and not one has direcely or indirectly connected Senator kaine to the murder. Besides, Senator Kaine does not own any piece of land inthat area. His farm is about four to five hours walk from the crimescend. one witness said that he talked to senator Kaine and the Senator told him to deal with them. the other witness said, he heard the senator talking to another person from a certain area. There is no connection of any cell phone in that area. Also, what puzzle me and other who follow this case in the U. S., What was the ruling of the lower court in Kakata? Why is it that the prosecutor did not allow the public to hear the ruling? Beside, What cell phone number did the witness called the Senator at?
This day Octber 26,2008. As a Liberian, I have never been diaappointed in any one in my life time as I am today disappointed in the justice system in Liberia, and judge Nuta of circuit criminal court B. As we all know the judge granted Sentator Roland Kaine bail. But, again the same judge has denied the his own bail.
The questions here are, Why did the Judge change his mind? What caused him to changed his mind? As I look back on this case, I am now becoming to belive that the whole case is very political. Is this because of the seat in Magibe county? Is some one trying to pay back what happened to him during the Charles Taylor Governmenton another person because of his affiliation? Again, Why did the Judge change change his mind? Did some one called the Judge before he rendered his decission, if so who did? Furthermore is it legal for the Solicitor General to ask the family members of the deceeds to go out and demostrate? And my question to Judge Nuta, What are, what happens when this adinistration is over? Where is the legal reason for you denying this bail?
I will first thank the writter of the article dated October 9, 2008, about the murder trial of Senator Roland Kaine. And I will thank Judge Nuta for his honesty and boldness. And I pray that all judges could follow his foot steps.
As I follow the case each day or time, there are several questions that I see unanswered.
(1) Are we seeing an abuse of power in this ase? (2) If the State has evidence, or proof that The senator was involved, Why is it not being produced? (3) Why did the State let case Charles Bennie Loose? (4)If Charles Bennie owns land in the area where the murder took place, Why is it that he did not get the villeager in that area to go and work on his farm land? (5) What happens if the State is not willing to produce the evidence against the Senator?
There are many other Questions but time can not permit me.
Thanks
Why can't the prosecutors encourage some the the suspects in the murder case to spit out the truth? This could infact help some of them have a lessor punishment while the big snake(Roland Kaine) face the full weight of the law. There must be some evidence somewhere, including at least two or one suspect.
