The three assessors have found former Land Force Commander Pita Driti not guilty of the two charges of inciting mutiny and uttering seditious comments after deliberating on the case.
Our News Director Vijay Narayan has more from the court house.
This morning High Court judge Justice Paul Madigan summed up the case reminding the assessors that he is the judge of the law and the assessors are the judges of the facts.
Justice Paul Madigan told the three assessors that they should take into account all the evidence presented in court and the court has no room for sympathy or prejudice.
He said that the assessors’ political views should not cloud their judgement.
Justice Madigan also said it should not matter how they feel about the Prime Minister or the Attorney General.
