<v Speaker 1>seventh prosecution witness seven Adetora John, but rather than proceed

31
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>with the cross examination, counsel for Mfhila or alecan O

32
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Ju San and Omorisk counsel cousin Vadamosi Sun, asked the

33
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.280

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.360

35
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:29.039

36
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 1>vehemently opposed the application. He said, in this proceeding, your

37
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Lordship has numerous times rule against the prosecution, and if

38

<v Speaker 1>Defense is dissatisfied with the ruling of the court, they

39
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 1>can appeal. I do not know what defense is trying

40
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 1>to prove by telling this court to refuse itself, because

41
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>in this case there is no evidence of allegation of bias.

42
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>This is a form of delayed tactics. And I orge

43
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>your Lordship to discountinance this application because a reasonable person

44
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 1>in this court will realize that this application is meant

00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:07.840
