Major political opposition has taken a definitive position on the recent decision by the Supreme Court of Liberia to find former Chief Justice Gloria Musu Scott and her family members not guilty of murder.
This indicates that the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), through its Secretary General, Jefferson Koijee, has accepted the Supreme Court’s ruling, which acquitted Cllr. Gloria Musu Scott and her family members in the death case of Charloe Musu.
The CDC Secretary General, who spoke recently, however, blames Stanton Witherspoon for “politicizing” the case. Recently, Chief Justice Sie-A-Nyene-Yuoh stated in the opinion of the high court that the prosecution lawyers failed to present circumstantial evidence linking Cllr. Scott and her co-defendants to the death of Miss Musu, who was the niece of the acquitted former Chief Justice.
Making an official statement regarding the CDC’s response to the high court’s final ruling, Koijee stated that the party, being a “custodian of peace” in the country, is not a legal institution to challenge the court’s ruling.
According to him, Mr. Witherspoon allegedly mixed politics with a legal matter that involved the life of a promising young lady and used his media platform to spread falsehoods, disinformation, and misinformation to the public.
He noted that the “wrath of God will visit Mr. Witherspoon and his children” for allegedly telling lies that he, Koijee, is truly associated with the death of Charloe Musu.
Meanwhile, in a response through his official Facebook page minutes after the press conference, Mr. Stanton Witherspoon questioned the moral standing of Mr. Koijee to serve in the capacity of Secretary General of the Congress for Democratic Change.
Koijee and one of his aides, identified as Varlee Telleh, have been at the center of accusations by the former TRC Chair of being the masterminds behind the death of the late Charloe Musu.
