Accra, July 30, GNA – The Court of Appeal has acquitted and discharged Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, the Minority leader and Richard Jakpa, a Businessman, of all the charges levelled against them by the State in the Ambulances Trial.
This was in a 2:1 majority decision by the Court.
The Court, therefore, upheld the submission of no case filed by Dr Forson and Mr Jakpa at the High Court.
Justice Kweku Tawiah Ackah-Boafo, a member of the panel, said the prosecution failed to establish sufficient evidence and the trial judge erred in calling on Dr Forson and Mr Jakpa to open their defence and there were no positively proven facts.
The High Court in March 2023 ordered Dr Ato Forson and two others to open their defence after a prima facie case had been established for them.
