Justice minister says miscarriage of justice likely occurred in Sask. murder case, orders new appeal
A new appeal has been ordered for Neressa and Odelia Quewezance, who were convicted by a jury in 1994 of second-degree murder in the death of Anthony Joseph Dolff.
The defence team of Salomey Awiti Baffoe plans to appeal the High Court's denial of her bail in the "Ghana Jollof" case. Her lawyer, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, spoke to the press after the decision on Thursday, September 24. The Accra High Court rejected her bail application, stating that she was still needed to aid ongoing cyber-related investigations.
The defence intends to petition the Chief Justice to convene the Court of Appeal during the court's vacation if required, to expedite the case. Awuah argued that the charge sheet indicates the investigation has concluded, and questioned how Baffoe could tamper with evidence when her phones are already with the police. He also criticized the court's failure to consider vital documents before making its decision, arguing that the court's ruling did not properly weigh the circumstances.
The lawyer emphasized that the Court of Appeal should be allowed to sit during vacation to hear the matter quickly, if the liberty of a person is at risk.
