At the resumed trial, the prosecution counsel pleaded with the court
to adjourn on the grounds that he was not too fine to proceed with the

"My lord, I am completely down and I need urgent medical attention. I
only managed to come because of the seriousness of this case.
"Our witness is even in the court to show you how concerned we are
about this matter. I plead with the court to grant an adjournment," he
said.
None of the defence counsel in the matter opposed the plea of the
prosecution for an adjournment.
