Dismissal of our plea for adjournment strange – Adu Boahene’s cousel

Reacting to the decision, Mr Atta Akyea said it was unexpected for the trial judge to proceed with the case despite the pending review application before a three-member panel of the Supreme Court.

Mr Atta Akyea had asked the High Court to suspend proceedings in Mr Adu Boahene’s trial until the Supreme Court determines the review application.

He argued that the outcome of the application could have a direct bearing on the ongoing proceedings and that it would therefore be prudent for the trial judge to await the Supreme Court’s decision.
