Private legal practitioner Kwame Adofo has warned that the Attorney-General’s modus operandi in rushing to speak to the media over individuals they are persecuting could undermine the legal process and ultimately backfire on the AG.
“If he keeps going that way and keeps going to court and losing cases, he will have himself to blame. And I think he should stop.
“Because it will not help his case. It’s better he doesn’t give press conferences on matters that are in court or before they even get to court,” he advised.
Adofo emphasized that legal matters should be decided within the courtroom, not through public declarations that could influence public opinion before a trial even begins.
He urged the Attorney-General to focus on prosecuting cases properly rather than making public statements that could compromise proceedings.
“What happened yesterday was a tragedy. It’s unprecedented. It should never have happened. The Attorney-General made a grievous error, and he should not do that again.
“He should concentrate on charging people, put them before the court, and let the court decide whether they are guilty or innocent,” he stated.
