William Baah and 13 other defendants are on trial for the murder of Major Maxwell Mahama, and the Criminal Division of the Accra High Court has ordered that they present their defense.Baah, the Assemblyman for Denkyira-Obuasi, and the other defendants had submitted a motion for submission of no case after the prosecution had finished calling 14 witnesses.

In contrast to William Baah, who pleaded not guilty to the charge of aiding and abetting, the other defendants have all denied the charges of conspiracy and murder.

Justice Mariama Owusu, a Justice of the Supreme Court sitting in extra capacity as a High Court Judge, ruled on the submission of no case to answer on Monday, July 4. She stated that the prosecution has proved a prima facie case.

Major Maxwell was harmed purposely and without hesitation by the defendant charged with murder. According to the preceding, the prosecution has established a strong case against the defendant, Justice Owusu ruled.

The submission of no case has been overruled and the accused persons are called upon to open their defense,” the Courts ruled.

William Baah, the first defendant to enter a plea, has had his case postponed until July 18, 2022, according to EIB Network’s Court Correspondent Murtala Inusah.
