Private legal practitioner Kwame Adofo has strongly criticized the Attorney-General's decision to hold a press conference about a suspect who has not yet been charged, warning that such public declarations could jeopardize the integrity of legal proceedings.
Speaking on the Asaase Breakfast Show, Adofo argued that prejudicing cases in the media poses a significant risk to judicial fairness, particularly in jury trials. "If you prejudice the case in the media, the risk is very high.
The people you are going to select as jurors have already heard the case and drawn their own conclusions-that this guy must be guilty.
Otherwise, the Attorney-General wouldn't have come out to say that he's guilty," he stated.
