— As some Supreme Court lawyers back off
The argument as to whether the Judiciary Inquiry Commission’s (JIC) recommendation for the Supreme Court to suspend Judge Eva Mappy Morgan for a year without pay and benefits is taking a dramatic turn as some of the lawyers appointed to represent the high court have declined the appointment.
The argument has been scheduled for hearing on Thursday, May 27, at 11am.
The JIC, the Supreme Court’s disciplinary commission for judges, after eight months of Investigation on Wednesday, April 7 said, Judge “Eva Mappy Morgan, respondent, recklessly abused her discretion when she illegally ordered the President of the Liberia Bank for Development and Investment (LBDI) to unfreeze the accounts of Ducor Petroleum Inc.”
