To this man (Sierra Leone’s Minister of Justice and Attorney General), Mohamed Lamin Tarawally Esq.

If Gilpin is not guilty of the crime of sexual violence, the court will prove it – by relying on what fulfills the conditions of circumstantial evidence, as per the rules set by the Court that was created by President Bio to try Sexual Violence cases.
