An American woman sentenced to 10 years in prison with hard labor by an Accra Circuit Court for car snatching expressed remorse for her actions, saying she felt bad about hurting their victim.

In tears and apologizing to the victim, Skylah Leeann Marine Travis said, "I did not mean to do that; I want to ask for forgiveness." Travis, who is unemployed, was sentenced alongside her Liberian fiancé, Daniel Ireland.

Her sentence was initially deferred to Monday, January 10, 2025, pending a pregnancy test.

However, the test came back negative, and she is to begin her jail term as well.
