William Ruto has only 40 pages to dismantle the ICC case against him as he seeks acquittal over his crimes against humanity charges without having to mount a defence. This, after the judges declined to extend the page limit of the no-case-to-answer motion to 100, despite pleas by Ruto and his co-accused Joshua arap Sang that documentary evidence and the testimony of hostile Witnesses would complicate the exercise.
The decision puts the two defendants in a tight spot, as they will have to demolish the testimony of 30 prosecution witnesses as well as documentary evidence–including the recently admitted Waki Commission Report–in just 40 pages.
