I have no knowledge on the subject, but I used trusty old yahoo and found a news article that said...

In this four-part article, John L. Musa shows whether or not Francis M. Minah was guilty of treason for the May 23, 1989 coup

Part 4- Verdict, Appeal, And Sentences And My Commentary

THE TRIAL AND VERDICT IN THE HIGH COURT
After a protracted trial of five months in the High Court before Justice D.E. M. Williams, a 12-man jury returned a verdict of guilty as charged. Gabriel Mohamed Tennyson Kaikai and 15 others were convicted of treason and two of the 18 suspects were convicted of misprision of treason. During the trial 46 witnesses gave evidence for the prosecution, 22 testified for the defense and 44 exhibits were tendered and admitted in evidence.

So according to this a jury decides.
