An attempt by the Attorney General to defend Dr. Adu-Ampomah when the case first got to the attention of the court was rejected by the trial judge on January 9, 2020. The perjury case was then adjourned to January 28, 2020 to enable Adu-Ampomah find a lawyer to defend him since the Attorney General is unable to do so. Whilst Samuel Cudjoe was on his feet moving the motion for the perjury, the trial judge, Justice Clemence Honyenugah, an Appeal Court Judge, sitting as an additional High Court Judge, interrupted him. Justice Honyenugah moreover pointed out that Dr. Adu-Ampomah who has been cited for perjury is still under cross examination.
