The protracted murder trial of Dodou Janneh at the Bundung Magistrates' Court has suffered yet another setback as one of the defence counsels, Lawyer Jobarteh told the court that he could not proceed with the matter in the absence of his colleagues. Lawyer Jobarteh who was the only counsel present in the court on Tuesday August 28 before Magistrate Buba Jawo noted that since Camara and his other colleagues were absent, he would ask the honourable court to adjourn the matter. "I prefer for us to be together and collectively preside over the case," he posited.
While apologising for the delay, Lawyer Jobarteh noted that his learned colleague Sheriff Tambedou has gone to visit his father and that his (Tambedou's) trip was not a leisure mission. He added that he would do his utmost best to either go to Tambedou's office or get him through the phone in order for them to talk on the matter.
