Jury asks accused murder suspect to remove mask

A murder trial at the Accra High Court experienced a short delay today. The jury asked that the person accused of the crime remove her nose mask.

The accused was in the dock when the jury made their request. The judge considered the jury's concern.

The court then instructed the accused to remove her mask. This allowed the jury to see her face clearly.

The trial resumed after the mask was removed. Proceedings continued as normal.

This incident highlights the jury's role in observing all aspects of a trial. They need to be able to see and assess the accused.
