The prosecutor’s case against popular Ethiopian singer Teddy Afro is falling apart. According to EthiopianReview.com sources, the date of the alleged car accident involving Teddy and the actual date of the man who died in an accident are found to be conflicting.
According to the prosecutor, Teddy crashed his BMW in Addis Ababa killing a homeless man named Degu Yibeltal on October 23, 1999 (Eth. Cal). But the original hospital record shows that Degu had died one day earlier, on October 22, 1999 (Eth. Cal) and an autopsy was performed at Menilik Hospital on October 23, 1999.
But the prosecutor would not stop there. He forced the hospital to produce the “correct” (fabricated) document that states the accident had occurred on October 23, one day after Degu had died. A new doctor who did not perform the autopsy Degu signed on the document that agrees with the prosecutor.
On Friday, July 4, Teddy Afro’s attorney asked the court to dismiss the case in light of of this new evidence, but the Woyanne judge ordered an investigation and sent Teddy Afro back to jail. Justice Woyanne style.
