Sentencing is not a lottery -Lawyer defends Agradaa’s sentence reduction

Daniel Korang, an author and partner at Adom Legal Consult, has defended the Amasaman High Court’s decision to reduce the 15-year jail term of Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, saying the ruling was guided by law and judicial procedure.

“Sentencing at every stage of a criminal trial is a judicial exercise that is regulated by law. It is never a function of the lottery,” Korang said on The Law on Joy News, adding that judges must weigh both mitigating and aggravating factors before determining punishment.
