Lawyer Rachel Y Mendy, the defence counsel for one Dindin Sambou has intimated justice Joseph Wowo of the high court in Banjul that the defence intends to call their last witness before the accused will close it case for address.

Lawyer Mendy disclosed that evidence was led at the Bundung magistrate court, where his client was first prosecuted, but the state terminated the trial. Lawyer Mendy noted that the defence would call the registrar of Bundung magistrate court to tender the record of proceedings from the said court.

Ms Mendy made this submission after the state principal counsel Merly Furnished cross examined, one Wally Joof, a finger print expert who obtained the finger prints of the accused at the request of the high court to ascertain whether the finger prints obtained from the accused at the high court was identical to the one the prosecution had earlier obtained from the accused.

The accused had made a cautionary statement, but the prosecution withdrew the said accused cautionary statement on the ground that there was no independent witness when the statement was obtained from the accused. The accused, Dinding Sambou, is charge with two counts of theft.

Meanwhile, the matter was adjourned to July 28, 2009 for the defence to call the registrar at the Bundung magistrate's court to tender the record of proceedings from the court.
