The trial, which has gripped the nation's attention since its inception, took an unexpected turn when the Jury Management Team of the Supreme Court accused the Solicitor General of allegedly tampering with the jury during a visit to the Court beyond work hours. According to the ruling of Criminal Court ‘A’, while the allegation against Tuan raised about potential misconduct, there was insufficient proof to convict him of any wrongdoing. “The court,” he said, “concluded that there was no evidence of jury tampering by Tuan” and that the jurors would remain intact and not disbanded. He cited a prior case — the US$100 million drug case heard in Criminal Court ‘C’, which the government lost due to last-minute information that favored the defendants. The Judge also expelled Amos Korkollie, Titus Massah, Webster J. Paye, and Lassana Liazolu, who were assigned to the Jury Quarter and had interacted with the Solicitor General.
