As proof of Sirleaf’s medical situation, the defense team attached a medical report with the signature of Eli M. Kiswahili, a medical doctor, with license #664. To further prove their case, the defense lawyers again attached other medical records showing that Sirleaf has been diagnosed of the five conditions. In a counter-argument, the prosecutors said, though they were not in opposition to Sirleaf’s request, the court must ensure that his request should include house arrest. They also said Sirleaf can only allow his close family members, doctor, and lawyer and his parents, wife, and children to visit him during his compassionate release. Johnny Momoh, of the Momoh and Associates Law Firm, reported that Judge Kontoe delayed reviewing the bond that they filed before him since Monday, March 4, 2019.
