ALLOCUTUS
Oloriaje:- Standing before the court is the convicted 1st
Defendant. He acted in good faith. The convict
is the bread winner of his family. Convict has
been battling financially since the project
stopped. I must humbly urge the court to
temper justice with mercy. He does not have
any criminal record. We urge the court to note
that he is a man of good character and
tremendous respect. We urge the court to
impose fine with relation to section 97 and 312
of the Penal Code.
We also urge the court to have mercy and find
a way to reprimand the convict.
Manji:- We urge the court to exercise discretion on
Counts 1 and 2.
On counts 3, 4 and 5 court has no discretion
to exercise. We urge the court to give the
maximum – sentence.
