The Judge of the Superior Court Gibson is expected to ruin on the requests made by the senior journalist of AMH, Blessed Mhlanga, for critical electronic evidence in his supply of freedom.

Mhlanga has been languishing in pretrial detention prison since his arrest allegedly transmitting data messages that incite public violence.

Mhlanga’s lawyer, Chris Mhike, asked Judge Mandaza to intervene and order the State to deliver the evidence to the court and defense so that the court makes an informed determination in the case.

Mhike argued that what is written in the request for remuneration was different from what was pronounced in the recordings.

The defense said he tried to involve the State, but was not interested in that discussion.

“I tried to involve the State before starting the Court, but I was not interested in allowing the appellant to challenge the evidence.

“We can have a postponement at noon to allow the State to take advantage of these evidence,” Mhike said.

“This is important because the State presented to the defendant quotes of words that have supposedly been transmitted, which are completely different from the words in the request for Remunction.

“Prosecutors have a statement noticed and noticed that they cannot publish due to the privilege they have in the file.

“We believe in the importance of graphic video evidence to ensure our arguments,” he said.

On the contrary, the State said the defense should have requested such evidence in the Magistrates Court where Mhlanga initially appeared.

Mhike challenged the statement of the states that he did not request the evidence in the Magistrates court and sent the judge to the court transcription saying that he had tried to request such evidence, but Judge Farai Gwitima could not have anything like that.

“LT is not true that the issue of evidence came for the first time in these procedures. We point out the issue of electronic and video graphic evidence in the lower court and attack the credibility of that evidence, so it is a continuation of the request of what we did in the lower court.

“We are raising this issue for the second time with the hope that the Superior Court will have a fairer hearing, since the Magistrates Court did not want

Listen to some of that wanted, ”said Mhike.

“The State seems to be strengthening the opinions of the Court of Magistrates, so in our appeal reasons we challenge the reasoning of the Court of Magistrates.”

However, the judge made a postponement to determine the request to request more details.

The judge is expected to declare the application and determination to direct the procedures if there will be more arguments or failure on bail.

On Thursday, Mhike complained that his client’s record was maintained as a security record and that the process to recover the record of the security records took time. News Day
