The accused person’s wife wept in court<\/a><\/strong><\/span> at the last hearing, after the hearing of the bail application for her husband was adjourned again, as the State Attorney handling the case\u00a0 was absent due to ill-health.<\/p>\n

Rabih Haddad’s Lawyer, Ralph Opoku Adusei, expressed displeasure with the adjournment on Monday, arguing that his client\u2019s application could be heard with or without the presence of the State Attorney.<\/p>\n

The family of the Lebanese say they are going through tough times,\u00a0 because they have\u00a0been evicted from their home and are currently staying with friends, according to the Lawyer.<\/p>\n
