Judge dismisses witness for ‘immoral’ dressing
20th Dec 2008
A scantly dressed mother
appearing in court as witness for her raped daughter
was sacked by the trial judge for failing to be a
good example to her daughter.
Instead, the judge, Justice Ivy Hayward-Mills,
called up journalist, Gloria Adomaa Okyere of Asempa
FM and proudly showed her as an example of how a
woman, and for that matter, a mother must hold
herself.
The key witness to the rape case, apparently in her
late forties, wore a pair of jeans trousers and a
sleeveless top which barely clothed her boobs.

On the contrary,
Gloria Adomaa Okyere wore a neatly cut “Slit and
Kaba”, and Justice Hayward Mills asked her to get up
for the witness to see how to dress when coming to
court the next adjourned date.
The Circuit Court is trying one Isaac Fobie for
allegedly defiling a daughter of the witness, and
will revisit the case on January 31, 2009. |
