I said this, and I will sey it again “THE STATE MUST APEAL THIS!!!! REDUCTION”

In as much as the 15 years was too much, making it 1 year is too Low. It should have at least be 5years. Agrada has been too notorious!!

You are rather making the blah blah blah here! Who doesn't know that defrauding by false pretence alone is punishable up to 25 years; and who doesn't know in Ghana that agradaa is a notorious fraudster. So, apart from bribery and corruption, what would make an appeal court judge in his right sense to reduce a 15 years sentence in this situation to a 1 year. Any judge who takes Ghanaians for fools is rather a stupid fool!

Agradaa's 'fake' prison sentence reduction and Nduom's fake license revocation are just criminal syndicates operating from the highest levels of govt. Is the Attorney Genersl sleeping on the job after his OFORI ATTA disaster?

Prof, the verdict was predetermined. Did you hear the Dep. AG's reaction to the earlier sentence? That said it all. In Ghana harsh laws are made for some not all. Whilst some are arrested for minor offences in handcuffs others involved in big crimes are invited to the police stations or CID OFFICES WITH THEIR LAWYERS.

And the national prophets became quiet....a certain woman of the tribe that hates speaking English was a fetish priest. She married a prophet after her failed first marriage. The prophet was younger than her. And that prophet is known as Angel. And it came to pass that she committed many crimes, especially as she promised to multiply money for people. She also was known to be vulgar and quarrelsome, although she became the head of a church where she and her young husband controlled their congregation like a cult. During all this time the prophets of the land did not see she would lose a court case to intercede for her. And maybe because she allegedly collected American dollars from some young influential politicians in the country, the older and louder prophets decided to teach her a lesson for attempting to use woman power to attack their perpetual finance machinery. None of them saw nor interceded for her as she lost some court case and was sent to jail for 15 years. Angel, the younger husband at the time showed human sentiments as he cried in church on Sundays while he held the fort for his wife the jailed prophetess. After almost a year, whether money did exchange hands as is the custom of the legal institution of the country in question or not word came out that her 15 years sentence would be over in a year. The other male prophets are quiet and not saying what they see or hear from their host of angels and their Lord. Not even a prophecy about her on New Year's Eve...none weeks into this New year. The prophets do not see and sense a financial bumper harvest...they are quiet. Their silence on her situation is concerning. Yet, none of them has a word for her......

The imposition of bail conditions by a lower court, acting correctly in law, may be varied on appeal.
Would it have been wrong in law
If the initial Court of trial had imposed two one year prison sentences to run concurrently?

Masa read the law. Per the crimes of this criminal , the lower court sentenced her. The crimes were gigantic that resulted in deaths to her victims. Let's be patriotic a little and do things right to ensure growth and development. You know the former Presidents of South Korea were jailed? 3 of them with 15, 18 and 24 years jail terms. The lady President was jailed 24 years. Today, South Korea is one of the developed economies while Ghana is still in shambles. Argue intelligently please. Big crimes comes with big jail terms okay.

Professor AZAR, you are WRONG. Do I smell a little score settling game here? Is your argument the Law? What is the state gaining by locking AGRAADAA up for Life or the next 5 months? Absolutely Nothing.! Just consider her actions and the actions and motivations of the so called “VICTIMS “ . Both of them were motivated by “GREED” and laziness to find a “ Acceptable or proper Job. Considering the wave of criminal activities in the country Armed robberies , embezzlement , murders etc… this AGRADAA’ s business is rather “ Chicken Feed”. Agradaa now calls or describes herself as a preacher of Christianity. Are we now in a position to judge her? Come on Dr.AZAR!!! I very much doubt that the Reduction in Agradaa’s Sentence is Wrong.

The judiciary is a problem in Ghana. They are not helping to bring law and order in the country. The woman is a scammer and should be punished severely in order to deter others from doing the same. Here instead, she was told by the court that there was nothing wrong with her acts as a result the court decided to decrease her prison sentence substantially. Something is basically wrong in Ghana. The state institutions are encouraging corruption in the country.

It's surprising the Attorney-General has kept quiet on this ruling. It's suspiciously clear some judges are not being honest in their judgment. Money talks.

Very bad. It simply shows that if you are popular and make noise then you can get away with short sentence after appeal. It is very good Professor Azar is challenging this because is very bad for our legal system if a person guilty and sentence to 15years can just reduce to 1year for what reasons, same evidence used, unless one part of the court systems using his or her own judgement and not in the constitution which is wrong. They cannot tell me because of good behaviour in prison and if that was the case for example then what about the other prisoners? Ghana court system is sick and should be reset also.
