The arson case involving former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Cllr Fonati Koffa and six other defendants, including three sitting lawmakers, was temporarily adjourned on Monday, due to a strange complaint for juror's misconduct. The juror misconduct allegations are raised by prosecution, specifically regarding a juror's request to replay a video recording and identify the defendant. The prosecution is raising concerns about potential juror misconduct, alleging that jurors may have been discussing the case among themselves during Wilson's testimony. Judge Willie had previously denied the prosecution's request to remove a juror, citing lack of evidence of bias or conflict of interest. In fact, the judge had ruled that the prosecution's evidence, which included unauthenticated photographs from social media, was unreliable.
