A 15-member jury began the trial of former Liberian Speaker Fonati Koffa and six others over the 2024 Capitol arson, after a juror dispute was dismissed.

A 15-member jury was sworn in on November 26, 2025, for the trial of former Liberian Speaker Cllr Fonati Koffa and six others in connection with the December 2024 Capitol arson. Prosecutors sought to disqualify juror J30-9819 over a disputed social media photo allegedly showing her at a campaign event for co-defendant Abu Kamara, but Judge Roosevelt Z. Willie denied the motion, citing lack of proof the image was authentic or that the juror was present. The judge noted concerns about potential AI manipulation and the absence of witness testimony or verified identification. The juror denied being in the photo, claiming her mother was pictured. The court also issued contempt writs against two bloggers accused of interfering with the jury process. The trial is set to resume on December 1, 2025.
