The meeting began with a vote regarding whether to continue the case, which resulted in a decision to proceed, with a majority of three votes in favor of continuing.

The discussion then shifted to the questioning of witnesses. A participant named Tommy was asked if he had any questions regarding the evidence presented so far. However, there was a brief interruption when an objection was raised, indicating that Tommy was beginning to testify rather than ask questions. The meeting facilitator clarified that Tommy would have the opportunity to present his testimony later.

After confirming that Tommy had no immediate questions for the previous witnesses, the meeting moved forward. Tommy was invited to present evidence and was reminded that he could call witnesses if he wished. However, he indicated that he did not have any witnesses available at that time. The facilitator then confirmed that Tommy was prepared to present his own testimony on behalf of the church.

The meeting proceeded with the necessary formalities, including swearing in the interpreter to ensure accurate communication during the proceedings. Tommy was then given the floor to begin his testimony.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the procedural steps involved in handling the case, emphasizing the importance of witness questioning and the presentation of evidence. The next steps will involve Tommy's testimony and any further developments related to the case.
