International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda is not opposed to the applications by Deputy President William Ruto and his co-accused Joshua Sang seeking more time to file a motion they hope will counter the prosecution’s case and secure their acquittal.
Bensouda argued that the Trial Chamber could allow the defence to file their “no case to answer” motion, 14 days after they filed an appeal to contest admission of prior-recorded testimony of five hostile prosecution witnesses.
