Richard Jyembiby, a Senior State Attorney leading the prosecution had notified the court presided over by Justice Henry Kwofie, that they wanted to amend the charge sheet filed at the court, reports graphic.com.gh. He added that this clarification would have only been done to a single sentence in respect to counts 11 and 12. That however was not taken lightly by the counsel for the accused persons, who opposed it, giving reasons that their clients had already pleaded not guilty to the original charge sheet and should that be allowed, it would affect the case. They added that the only possibility the prosecution could have to proceed with that request would be to seek leave of the court first. The Justice Henry Kwofie court then urged the prosecution to formally seek leave through a motion in order to amend the charge sheet.
