Richards is the defendant in the alleged Jessica Lloyd attempted murder trial.
Cllr. James Nyenpan, one of the counsels for Jessica Lloyd in the ongoing attempted murder trial involving Lucas Richards at the Criminal Court “B”, alleged that Judge Zubah, on April 2, authorized the release and sale of a white Toyota Land Cruiser jeep to one Albertine Yancy.
The vehicle in question is expected to be used as a part of pieces of evidence in the case since it was allowed that when Richards reportedly had an accident, he absconded with the vehicle and was later arrested and parked at the St. Paul Bridge Depot.
Cllr. Nyenpan argues, that said vehicle was and had never been involved in a motor accident for which it was packed at the St. Paul Bridge Police Station when it should have been under the jurisdiction of the Traffic Court of Montserrado, for which he has filed a Petition for Summary Proceeding against Judge Zubah.
According to Cllr. Nyenpan, he received a call on April 15, from an employee of the Ministry of Transport, that the vehicle that became a fruit of crimes, which was packed at the St. Paul Bridge Police Station, was attempted to be registered by one Yancy, following an authorization and sale order from Judge Zubah.
As a result, Cllr. Nyenpan prayed Judge Dixon to order Judge Zubah to retrieve and surrender said vehicle as per his order of release and sale of the vehicle which matter is still pending at the criminal Court “B”.
Therefore, Criminal Court ‘C’ Judge, Blamo Dixon, has cited Monrovia Traffic Court Judge Karsor Zubah about the Petitioner for Summary Proceedings filed by Cllr. Nyenpan of the Ministry of Justice in Association with Legal Watch INC.
The citation is quoted as saying: “By directive of Blamo Dixon, Resident Circuit Court Judge hereby cites you, Judge Zubah into the judge’s Chambers on Wednesday, April 17, at 2:pm to probe a petition for summary proceedings filed against you.”
Meanwhile, the Monrovia Traffic Court Judge is expected to appear before Judge Blamo Dixon for probing.
