The prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case: SP21 was an interested, inconsistent and uncorroborated witness whose testimony could not sustain allegations of conspiracy or knowledge by the defendant; prosecution omitted to call material witnesses (warranting adverse inference); no cogent evidence proved the defendant knew the documents were forged; consequently the accused was discharged and acquitted at the close of the prosecution for both the predicate offences and AMLA counts.
