Monrovia, Liberia – Former Chief Justice Gloria Musu Scott and three others have been sentenced to lifetime imprisonment following the death of Charlie Musu.
During the final judgment and sentencing hearing, Judge Roosevelt Willie noted that based on the evidence and circumstances surrounding the death of Charloe Musu, all facts pointed towards Counsel Scott and three other family members.
Judge Willie in a thirty-page document read the accounts of the thirty (30) witnesses that testified in the murder trial coping with evidence that was produced in court along with legal citations from both parties and Supreme Court opinion before coming up with the lifetime sentence.
After the sentencing of former Chief Justice Scott, one of the co-defendants Cllr. Scott’s lead lawyer Cllr. Jimmy Saah Bombo told judicial reporters that they have announced an appeal with the Supreme Court within the statutory period.
Cllr. Bombo further noted that they produced all of the evidence to set their clients free, noting that the prosecution failed to produce the intent of murder to hand down a guilty verdict.
For her part, the county Attorney of Montserrado County Alhaji Swaiho Seysay said all of the evidence that was produced in the murder trial of the late Charloe Musu pointed toward the four defendants.
Cllr. Seysay noted that the four defendants wilfully, purposefully, and intentionally killed Charlotte Musu with malice and criminal intent.
