A seven-member team of jurors has been empaneled to assist the Commercial Division of the Accra High Court to conduct trial of the case in which Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Benjamin Agodzor, Dr. Frederick Yaw Mac-Palm, and eight others are standing trial for alleged treason.
In open court for the first time, this year, the court presided over by Justice Samuel Asiedu, Justice of the Court of Appeal sitting with additional responsibility as a High Court judge empaneled the jury which paves the way for the trial to commence.
A total of 15 persons who were seconded from their various organizations to serve as jurors had their names mentioned in court but eight of them were rejected by the accused persons in the process leading up to the empanelling of the seven as required by the law for the case to start.
