Ex-Prison Director case set for judgement

Saturday, October 20, 2007

Principal Magistrate BY Camara of the Banjul Magistrates’ Court, last Friday, set the criminal case involving David Colley, former Director General of The Gambia Prison Services for judgement. He did not specifically  set a date for the final verdict on the said case.

Magistrate Camara made this announcement after the testimony of one Alagie Gassama, the second defense witness, who confirmed to the court that the accused had given him the generator that he is alleged to have stolen for maintainance, adding  that he had started repairing the generator.

 He told the court that the Police never allowed him to complete the job at the time they came for the generator. After Mr Gassama’s testimony, Antouman Gaye, counsel for accused person delivered a short address.

However, Inspector Touray, the prosecuting officer told the court that he is relying on the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses and the address he made earlier in response to the no case submission made by Lawyer Antouman Gaye, counsel for the  accused, that was upheld by the court.
