Accused man humiliates his lawyer

A HARARE lawyer Archie Mugiya was on Tuesday blasted in court by his client for not being a diligent counsel after failing to cross-examine State witnesses. Mugiya also failed to attend court to lead defence in a case of having sex with a minor before magistrate Tendai Mahwe.

Tatenda Madzudzo (29) under a barrage of questions on why he failed to rebut evidence from State witnesses in the matter where he is alleged to have had sex with a then 13-year-old girl blamed it on his lawyer for failing to ask the questions.
