The recent decision by Attorney General Dr.
Dominic Ayine to discontinue several high-profile cases has sparked intense debate in Ghana's legal and political circles.
Renowned lawyer Thaddeus Sory has added his voice to the conversation, offering a legal perspective on the AG's discretionary power, the principle of nolle prosequi, and the implications for Ghana's justice system.
Sory begins by addressing the fundamental legal concept at play-nolle prosequi, which grants the AG the authority to withdraw cases at any stage before a court delivers its final judgment.
