IT IS PROBABLY TRUE THAT JUSTICE AGIM SHOULD RECUSE HIMSELF FROM THE CASE ,IF HE BELIEVES HE WILL BE BIASED AGAINST THE DEFENDANTS.THAT WILL BE AN EASY SOLUTION TO THE IMPASSE. HOWEVER , THE DEFENCE COUNSELS ALREADY RETAINED COULD ALSO PROCEED WITH REPRESENTING THE ACCUSED HOPING FOR JUSTICE AGIM'S BIAS TO BE REVEALED IN HIS JUDGMENT , AND THEN THEY CAN APPEAL THE CASE FOR REVIEW BY THE APPELLATE COURT.THIS COULD BE COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING THOUGH.BUT IS THIS CASE A JURY TRIAL OR A BENCH TRIAL? IT IS NOT WISE FOR ATTORNEYS (DEFENCE OR PROSECUTION) TO ANTAGONIZE THE JUDGE , WHICH APPARENTLY SEEMED TO HAVE HAPPENED WITH THE DEFENCE IN THIS CASE. THE TRUTH ALSO IS THAT THERE IS A "DEFENCE ATTORNEY WEARINESS" WITH REGARDS TO TREASON CASES FOLLOWING THE NEAR FATAL SHOOTING OF DEFENCE ATTORNEY OUSMAN CEESAY IN AN EARLIER TREASON TRIAL. "AFTER ALL IT'S NOT WORTH MY LIFE " , MANY ATTORNEYS WOULD FEEL.
