Atta Akyea as a lawyer didn't quote a single constitutional provision which contradicts the action taken by the AG, instead, he's only gone to town to play on the sentiments of his gullible NPP supporters. Earlier in his attempt to ward off the AG from pursuing this case, he tried to threaten that his client could lay bare to the public classified informations which could hurt the State. Folks, I'm beginning to realize that, the NPP is a criminal gang which came to power to loot indiscriminately and is ready as a cabal to defend all by hook or crook. Shameless bunch of nation wreckers!!!

My advice to Ghana Law School is to go round the country and collect all the certificates they have issued to NDC Lawyers. They are disgracing the documents. The NDC can set up their own law school & do whatever they want.

Nii, I cannot understand the meaning of your comment. However, I will suggest that maybe Mr. Atta Akyea went to Law School for free, when no tuition fee was being charged. So, he doesn't have to go and demand his tuition money back. I am surprised he does not know that the prosecution can 'flip an accused' to become a witness. It is called a 'plea bargain'. She is now 'free' to tell all; she become valuable because she knows 'where all the bodies are buried'. And she is now 'talking' without holding back because she played a key role in the whole 'affair'. It is simply a way to get a witness to tell the truth in a case where all the 'conspirators' are 'shielding' each other.

The prosecution can drop charges against an accused and use them as a witness, a practice often used when the accused agrees to cooperate in exchange for a deal. This is sometimes done to gain an advantage against other, more significant defendants in cases like money laundering or organized crime. I am wondering why Atta Akyea, a senior lawyer is deliberately throwing dust into rhe eyes of the unsuspecting public when he knows very well thst that is a practice whivh the AG can make use of. Or is it that he himself does not know this? That will be strange and tragic and for Jim to expose himself as such

This Lawyer cannot be serious!!! An accused can plead Guilty and help the prosecution by becoming a Crown witness . Very simple. That accused stands a chance of a lighter sentence. This lawyer should rather accept the fact that his “ client is guilty. It is obvious that he as A Lawyer cannot ask or advise his client to plead guilty. His client has the right to declare himself guilty as charged and plead for Leniency or light sentence.

Honestly, God bless those who advised Mildred Donkor to change Atta Akyea as her Lawyer. I' find it difficult to understand why Atta Akyea is angry about Mildred's discharge by the Court. I may not be a lawyer but as an aspiring Lawyer, I've got my 70% common sense effectively functional whereas Law takes only 30%

Does Atta Akyea enjoy seeing an innocent woman going through emotional torture? What kind of Lawyer would only be interested in making money out of their clients and not defend their innocence.

Permit me to refer you to the comments Atta Akyea made when Madam Mildred Donkor CHANGED him as her Lawyer in the media space.......(find and read)

If this is what Law is all about, then I think people like Atta Akyea should not in the first place be walking within the corridors of Law.....

Atta Akyea you are a lawyer and you should understand these dynamics. The lady could have her case dropped under plead bargain proceedings.

Elsewhere people are charged with 1st or 2nd degree murder and they accept lesser sentences if they testify against their collaborators. Sometimes the person who pulled the trigger gets a lesser sentence than the person who masterminded the act. I think as a lawyer, Atta Akyea you should know better than you partisan behaviour.

Atta Akyea is supposed a be a good attorney, and he ought to know that accused persons in criminal cases often can turn into witnesses for the prosecution. Even those who have been found guilty and serving prison sentences can turn into witnesses that for the prosecution, either in exchange for having their sentences reduced or dismissed, and in some cases, no reward at all. In short, it's common practice in the criminal system for prosecutors to turn to some accused persons or convicts to be used as state witnesses where their testimony is deemed necessary for a successful criminal prosecution. So, Atta Akyea, you should know the answer to your question, being a a trained lawyer.

Checkmate. Smart Attorney General. Atta Akyea is pretending not to understand what is going on but the AG is smarter than that. He won’t fall for your bait. This new development by the AG will work.

Yes, an accused person can be used as a prosecution witness under certain circumstances. Here are some key points to consider ¹ ² ³:
- *Competency*: An accused person is a competent witness for the prosecution if they are charged separately or if the charges against them have been withdrawn or dismissed.
- *Acquittal*: A co-defendant who has been acquitted can also be a witness for the prosecution.
- *Charge withdrawal*: If the charges against a co-defendant are withdrawn, they can be made a compellable witness for the prosecution against their former co-defendants.
- *Prosecutorial discretion*: The prosecution has the discretion to discontinue proceedings against an accused person, known as nolle prosequi, and reposition them as a prosecution witness. However, this decision is subject to judicial oversight and scrutiny.
- *Credibility and admissibility*: The court retains discretion to assess the credibility and admissibility of testimony from a former accused person turned prosecution witness.
- *Fairness and transparency*: The use of an accused person as a prosecution witness raises concerns about fairness, credibility, and prosecutorial discretion, highlighting the need for transparency and judicial oversight.

In Ghana's criminal justice system, the Attorney General has the power to discontinue proceedings against an accused person under the doctrine of nolle prosequi, and the prosecution can call any person as a witness, including former accused persons ².

Atta Akyea must stop crying fowl and proceed to defend his remaining two living accused persons. If the AG has committed any crime by doing what he did, Atta Akyea should go to court. If he is busy trying to defend a suspected nation wrecker, the AG is also busy trying to retrieve the stolen or il-gotten money. A thief is a thief no matter which family he or she is coming from. A thief from the NPP is a thief and must face accountability. I wish to advise Atta Akyea to refrain from trying to politicise crime. What belongs to Ghanaians cannot suddenly become the boots of one or two individuals. You will recall the AG said those suspects who cooperate with his office will be heard. What is Atta Akyea then saying?
