Counsel for three of the judges implicated in the judicial corruption scandal, Nii Kpakpo Samoah Addo, has said the 500-hour audiovisual footage of alleged evidence gathered by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas against his clients and 31 other judges, must be subjected to forensic proof to verify its authenticity.

Mr Samoah Addo, who is representing Justices Paul Uuter Dery, Mustapha Habib Logoh and Gilbert Ayisi Addo concerning the scandal, told Class 91.3fm's 'Point of Law' host Godwin Agyei-Gyamfi on Thursday that: "…The editing of the video is so crucial to what is projected – and I understand there’s over 500 hours of footage – so, you’ll need to examine this forensically to be able to make a determination that the 500 hours of video was not pieced together…"

"Interestingly, [it was] from some professionals that I got to know that your voice, as we know it now, can be recorded by someone, who can actually manipulate your voice to make you say things that you never dreamt you would have said," he said on the programme to express concerns about the authenticity of the audiovisual evidence.

"…Until somebody hears your side of the story," Mr Smoah Addo continued: "They’ll actually believe that you said what the person said you said."

"For example, I can visit your house, once, twice, thrice…take various angles of your house, piece them together to make a particular story…that’s why I say I’m waiting for the day we’ll all be in court …it’s going to be an interesting time in this country," Mr Samoah Addo illustrated to buttress his point.

Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood has set up a five-member judicial committee to probe the 34 judges who were caught on camera in the two-year undercover work, taking bribe to pervert justice. Some of them are fighting the case in court to forestall their impeachment and removal.
