One of several judges that handled Senator Varney Sherman’s bribery case before the US Treasury Department accused them (judges) of receiving a bribe from Sherman to rule in his favor, on Tuesday, March 16, surfaced at the Civil Law Court where he provided clarity on his judgment.
Even though the Treasury’s report did not mention his name or the role he may have played, Judge Yamie Quiqui Gbeisay, during the formal opening of the sixth Judicial Circuit Court, Civil Law Court for Montserrado County, disclosed that he was one of the judges that found Sherman not guilty.

Chief Justice Francis Korkpor, after coming under heavy public criticism for his role in the impeachment of Associate Justice Kabineh Ja’neh, appears now to be in a fight-back stage being so concerned now about his private life, even as his expected retirement takes effect in 2022.
Chief Justice Korkpor and the entire justice system are under pressure in recent days. With a U.S. government report having implicated the Judiciary of taking bribes and subsequent freezing of Senator Varney Sherman’s assets, the impeachment of Ja’neh and the case involving Lofa County Senator-elect Brownie Samukai have also compounded the criticisms that demean the functions of the Judiciary.
