MONROVIA – FrontPage Africa has reliably gathered that the Ministry of Justice has granted compassionate leave to convicted former Chief Justice Gloria Musu Scott. However, Justice Musu Scott and her relatives are currently held at the Monrovia Central Prison awaiting the Supreme Court to hear the appeal case. Documents seen by FrontPage Africa show that Justice Scott requested permission to visit her home, which was reportedly burglarized. Gloria Maya Musu Scott served as Liberia’s Justice Minister and later as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court until her retirement in 2003. During the trial, Musu Scott maintained her innocence, claiming that Charloe Musu was killed by an unknown assailant who entered her home in the capital, Monrovia.
