“During the trials, he informed the trial judge, his honor Alexander Graham as the counsel for the accused person.
The judge became suspicious because normally if you are appearing before a court for the first time, you need to introduce yourself so that the judge will acknowledge you as a legal person who has been certified," ASP Addo said.
He further explained that the judge was not convinced about the sort of response the suspect gave so he asked the suspect to identify himself by his registration number and his license and the answer he gave was not convincing to the judge and so he called the Police and ordered his arrest.
