Therefore, whatever the state gives us we will accept it wholeheartedly except if it’s controversial and that’s why defence counsel is here. We have full conviction that is what happened. “We believe in that as a court and as a Gambian court. So therefore, the state must be commended for telling us the steps they have taken so far in extracting the sample from all the persons.” So, to have a full gallery is a good omen and I don’t see it as an ill-omen. Sometimes we sit here without any person but only the lawyers. We will make sure that every Gambian who is alleged to have committed anything will be tried before us even if there’s no member in the gallery. Is it the only rape case before this court? Therefore, every adventure will be explored. “This is not the only rape case before this court. The integrity of our state institutions, Jallow stated, must not be compromised. We will grant you an adjournment for today so that we will hear from the state respondent to your affidavit that you have filed.” Justice Jallow said: “The state’s interest and everybody's interest is to make sure that the ends of justice are met. The blood samples extracted from them, he added, were all being kept at the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital. This, he added, was taken in the presence of the accused person's family and the complainant boyfriend's family and that the court was represented. Jobe informed the court that they also had taken blood samples from the accused person, and the complainant's boyfriend. The State counsel would also in two days reply to the motion filed by the defence team. The defence counsel has also filed a motion of notice seeking among other things to set aside the ruling of the 7th July 2022 pending the hearing of an appeal at the Court of Appeal. I will respect the decision of the court and I will abide by it but I have the right to apply against it regardless of how that’s perceived,” he stated. I have been known to be respecting the decision of the court, so let’s respect the decision of the court. We have the right to be suspicious of the state. Can we put things in the right way? My lord, we have all the right to disagree with the ruling of the court. I am saying something that’s very simple. You can’t take blood prior to 7th of July in compliance with an order that was not made. If you don’t accept that, then there will be an alternative.”Ĭamara responded: “I am not going to accept it my lord. We will accept it and we also expect you to endorse it. If he tells us that they are able to draw samples that is something tangible we can work on. Jobe is an officer of the court and if he comes to the chambers with things, we believe it. Justice Jallow, however, interjected and told Camara that Senior State counsel A. Jobe announced their appearance for the state while Lawyer Camara together with Fatoumatta Jallow appeared for the accused person.Ĭamara argued that “there’s no evidence before this court to show that any blood was actually extracted from the child in question.” OrgId: UPTIM-1 Address: 4915 Bathurst Street Address: Suite 209 City: Toronto StateProv: ON PostalCode: M2R-1X9 Country: CA RegDate: Updated: Ref: OrgTechHandle: UPTIM-ARIN OrgTechName: UpTime NOC OrgTechPhone: +1-41 OrgTechEmail: OrgTechRef: OrgAbuseHandle: UPTIM-ARIN OrgAbuseName: UpTime NOC OrgAbusePhone: +1-41 OrgAbuseEmail: OrgAbuseRef: # ARIN WHOIS data and services are subject to the Terms of Use # available at: # If you see inaccuracies in the results, please report at # Copyright 1997-2018, American Registry for Internet Numbers, Ltd.When the case was called, state counsel Kimbeng T. # ASNumber: 53479 ASName: AS-UPTIME ASHandle: AS53479 RegDate: Updated: Ref: OrgName: UptimeArchive, Inc. # ARIN WHOIS data and services are subject to the Terms of Use # available at: # If you see inaccuracies in the results, please report at # Copyright 1997-2018, American Registry for Internet Numbers, Ltd.
