Monrovia - Two bailiffs have been suspended for neglience in the escape of a Nigerian rape suspect, John Obi Chinoso, from Criminal Court ‘E’. A judicial source, who asked for anonymity, said someone must be held responsible if a suspect escapes the court. Rape is in gross violation of section 14.70 (a) (ii) & (b) of the new rape law of Liberia. Criminal Court "E" was established in each of the 15 counties to be a separate and special division of the circuit court to be called sexual offence division. It can be recalled that the Monrovia Bar Association President, Sam Cooper, called for the training of court staff, especially bailiffs.
