‘It makes good folklore, not good facts’

Attorney Christopher Ram, during his closing submissions before the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) established to investigate the alleged plot to assassinate the president, contended that it is clear that the accuser Andriff Gillard had been completely dishonest and he expressed concern for the man’s mental state.

Ram, the attorney for Imran Khan, the brother of Nizam Khan, the man alleged to have offered Gillard $7 million to kill President David Granger, made his submission on Friday, the final day of the CoI’s public hearings. A report is expected to be submitted by the end of the month.

Offering that Gillard may need psychological help, Ram pointed out that man appears to have “serious problems” that include not only personal issues, but financial, marital and judicial as well. He noted that Gillard could not even recall how many brushes he has had with law enforcement.
