ICC judge warns DP William Ruto and Joshua Sang on calling witnesses in their case

The double-edged nature of the ‘no case to answer’ motion dawned yesterday at the International  Criminal Court after the presiding  judge cautioned Deputy President William Ruto’s lawyers on their approach.

At the beginning of a status conference, Presiding Judge Chile Eboe-Osuji told William Ruto and his co-accused Joshua Sang to weigh carefully the implications of calling witnesses in the case, as it could be the thread on which their fate will hang. "If the defence have not thought about it, they can take their time and think about it..." the judge said.
