Petitioner’s lawyers chided for ‘inadequate’ evidence in court
Executive Director of Alliance for Social Equity
and Public Accountability (ASEPA) Mensah Thompson
has taken a swipe at the lawyers of the petitioner
in the ongoing 2020 election petition.


He blames them for not presenting enough
reasonable evidence to support their claims.



The pro-National Democratic Congress (NDC) think
tank has challenged lawyers of John Dramani Mahama
to show evidence to support their case in court,
expressing disappointment with what he described
as inadequate substantive evidence to buttress
their case in court.

ASEPA believes the petitioner seems to be losing
his grips in the ongoing election petition
hearing.

While speaking on Akoma FM‘s morning show
GhanAkoma, Mensah Thompson told host Aduanaba Kofi
Asante Ennin that “the inadequate substances of
evidence in the petitioner’s case makes it
easier for the Supreme Court judges to dismiss
John Mahama’s case.”

He added that “the burden of proof lies on the
accuser to level substantive evidence to shift the
burden of proof to the respondents to come out and
issue their witnesses to banter in court”.



Mensah Thompson took to his Facebook wall venting
frustration as he explained the petitioner has
made the judges work easier to overrule their
case.
