The Court, however, admitted the last three of the six statements that were under contention as having been taken under duress, intimidation and threats. Baffoe-Bonnie through his lawyer told the Court that he wrote and signed six out of 10 caution statements taken from him by investigators under duress, intimidation and threats. Baffoe-Bonnie’s claims necessitated a mini-trial to establish whether or not the said statements were actually taken under duress, intimidation and threats of harm. In all, Baffoe-Bonnie wrote and signed 10 statements that the State intends to tender in exhibits in support of their case.
