WIRE — In the realm of criminal jurisprudence, the final written address of learned counsel emerges as the consummate shield - meticulously forged to safeguard the accused's inviolable presumption of innocence. It is here that Defence Counsel weaves the facts, testimonies, evidence, and law into a tapestry of persuasion, designed to move the judicial mind toward the only just conclusion: acquittal and discharge. On July 13, 2026, ahead of the High Court's delivery of judgment in The Republic v. Bernard Antwi Boasiako @ Wontumi and 2 Others case, learned counsel Samuel Atta Akyea of Zoe, Akyea Co. submitted a comprehensive written address on behalf of the 1st Accused (Bernard Antwi Boasiako, alias Chairman Wontumi) and the 3rd Accused (Akonta Mining Company Limited). This fourth installment of The Law 101 on the subject examines the core issues, some of the specific factual evidence, and the legal authorities relied upon by the Defence to argue for the acquittal of A1 and A3.
