State lawyers have filed a prohibition petition to restrain Judge Karboi Nuta from admitting detained Margibi County Senator Roland Kaine to bail.
In a 9-count petition, the prosecution said Judge Nuta proceeded wrongly by granting Kaine’s application for bail and at the same time assigning the motion for hearing Thursday.
The state claimed Judge Nuta also created a kind of confusion that questions his ability to further proceed with the case.
According to the petition, the prosecution doubts Judge Nuta’s capability to further proceed with the case without discrediting the dignity of the court he currently presides over.
The prosecution wants Chambers Justice Jamesetta Wolokollie to, among other things, issue an order to Criminal Court B to halt all further proceeding in the June 7 Kolleh Town massacre case.
The court’s ruling on Tuesday sparked serious confusion and a chain of reactions from several quarters.
It is not clear whether state lawyers will obey the assignment for the hearing of the motion to bail since the court has already ruled without hearing an argument.
