Morupisi 'fishing' in judges recusal application – State

Wednesday, January 08, 2025 | 2080 Views |

Morupisi, in his affidavit filed yesterday, had claimed bias on the part of the judge stating that she wanted him behind bars at any cost. Morupisi also accused the judge of conflict saying she had presided over another case linked to his corruption matter.
