THIRTY DAYS ?

If the pronouncement is correct and accurate, that 6 more days will be needed before the prosecution rests its case, then we are looking at 30 days, as the total number of days within which the prosecution should have established its case and evidence against the Chief Justice.

We are actually looking at approximately 120 hours of the court's time just for the prosecution and so far, it has provided a presentation that can actually support one article only - Article 2. Even then, the admissibility of its evidence is in question. On another point, the prosecution has practically abandoned Article 3 due to problems with how it was crafted, while Article 7 is hounded by hearsay evidence.

Whatever maybe the verdict, the following lessons or reminders were learned:

1) Declare your true assets and liabilities, and networth;

2) Declare your true income and pay your correct taxes;

3) Be truthful in your dealings and transactions, and avoid simulated sales and conveyances of property;

4) Know the laws of this country especially those that may govern your actions and moves;

5) Remember, the one who asserts must be ready with proofs;

6) Talk less, work more, know better.

7) When truth has been established and it shows you made a mistake, its time to say sorry.

8) Trial is not a battle of intelligence or technicalities, it is quest for truth and for justice.

9) Objections must be used to protect the rights of a person. Never to conceal wrongdoings.

10) in any endeavor or mission, come prepared and argue well your case.

Let's move on and see what happens from hereon.
