Asamoah Gyan

Court throws out evidence in Gyan’s rape case
The four suspects – Osarfo Anthony, Ekow Micah,
Sarah Kwablah, and Chris Handler, accused of
allegedly conspiring to extort money from Asamoah
Gyan, may heave a deep sigh of relief as the High
Court, has thrown out their alleged phone
conversations tendered in court by Asamoah Gyan,
against them.

This revelation emerged in court on Tuesday,
September, 20, 2016 when the investigator in the
case, told the court that he extracted voices of
the four accused from a CD– and in that voice
recordings, the four could be heard loud and
clear, planning on how to extort money from Gyan
for allegedly raping and sodomizing Sarah
Kwablah.

The investigator told the court that he gave the
said voices to the complainant in the case – in
the person of Samuel Anim Addo, who is the manager
of Asamoah Gyan to tender in court. Sammy, on
February, 10, 2016, Samuel Anim Addo tendered in
the audios and was duly played in open court for
all to listen.

LAWYER AMPAW EXPOSES INVESTIGATOR

Lawyer Maurice Ampaw who is the defense counsel
for the four accused, exposed the investigator in
wrapping up his cross-examination by telling the
court how the investigator, doctored the voices of
the four accused by stitching their voices
together, so that when one listens to their
conversations, it sounds or appear as though they
planned evil against Gyan.

He also told the court how the investigator
deleted some voice recordings which the latter
knows can help Osarfo and the others prove their
innocence in the trial. “When you extracted
those audios, was any of the accused present or
witnessed it?” Lawyer Ampaw asked the
investigator – who responded, “No my lord.”
Asked to explain why, he said “nothing my
lord.”

SIX MONTHS LATER

Six (6) months after the tendering of those
extorted tapes which were labeled exhibit C in the
court’s records, the audios turned out to be
mere pictures and a video – which the prosecutor
and the investigator, could not identify.

PROSECUTION’S PLEA OVER-RULED

The prosecutor therefore argued that the court
should allow them to play the same audios from a
laptop or upload the audios from the laptop unto a
pen drive – but the trial judge ruled, “That
is now possible because these new audios you claim
and the laptop are not exhibits in the court’s
records. They have not been tendered and cannot be
tendered at this time.”

The trial judge however, admitted that she recall
the alleged extortion tapes was played in court.

BENCH WARRANT ISSUED AGAINST EKOW MICAH

Sarah Kwablah and Ekow Micah were absent in
court. Lawyer Lampting Apanga, told the court that
Sarah’s absence is due to severe abdominal pains
she is suffering as a result of her menstrual
cycle but Ekow was on his way to the court – an
excuse the judge refused to accept and for that
matter issued a bench warrant for his arrest.

Next Adjournment

The case continues on October, 4, 2016. The
investigator is expected to present to the court,
Osarfo’s laptop, desktop computer, modem, phone,
bag and others things which they went to his house
at 10: 30 pm to take to assist investigations–
after which he will be discharged.
