In his ruling in favor of the retrial motion requested by the defense council, the first Judicial Circuit, Criminal Court Assizes 'C' Judge, Peter Gbeneweleh said the evidence provided by the prosecution was not enough to warrant defendant guilt, explaining that the amount alleged by plaintiff to have been misappropriated was used by the defendant and has the deed in his possession, adding that the jury's verdict was contrary to the evidences.
Speaking after the retrial motion was announced, Pastor Mathew Sekeuh said he gave God the glory for the point the case has reach with the judgment, adding that he represent over 19 million Liberians out there seek assistance to come and build this nation. Now the final verdict of this case is what people are waiting to hear.

In his ruling in the motion for new trial, Judge Peter Gbeneweleh stated that from the evidences so far adduced at the trial, the prosecution did fail to prove its case and that the court did not observe anything fraudulent on the part of the defendant, as all tasks given him were performed with documentary evidence.
