Atta Akyea says AG’s position supports Wontumi’s no-case submission argument

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, July 25, Mr Atta Akyea maintained that the prosecution failed to present sufficiently strong evidence against his client to justify the conviction handed down by the Accra High Court.

A submission of no case is a legal argument made by the defence at the close of the prosecution’s case, asking the court to acquit the accused on the grounds that the evidence presented does not establish a case requiring the accused person to respond.“There is no evidence that the Attorney-General produced which is strong in itself, more so when you’ve brought in accomplices,” he stated.
