Banks, former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, is to testify today as an ‘expert witness’ in favor of embattled Associate Justice Kabineh Mohammad Ja’neh in the impeachment trial against him. The retired Justice was in Chambers when some of Liberia’s top oil dealers filed a writ of prohibition against the Road Fund in 2017. Justice Ja’neh denied ever ordering the eviction of Mrs. Anne Yancy Constance as she recently claimed when she served as a witness for Managers of the House of Representatives. As the cross-examination continued, the Senate Chambers was almost literally transformed into a legal classroom with the witness (Respondent Ja’neh) serving as a professor in an unprecedented relaxed fashion. The trial continues tomorrow afternoon at 2: p.m in the Senate Chambers with Justice Ja’neh expected to face cross-examination, and the subsequent appearance of retired Justice Banks on the witness stand.
