There are incontestable evidence that Mrs Juliet R. Cotton, the woman at the centre of the $22 million Quality Grain Rice scandal in Ghana, has begun writing her memoirs in the US where she is currently serving a 15-year jail term.
In her memoirs, according to friends, Mrs Cotton formerly known as Miss Juliet Rence Woodard, will reveal who was responsible for her pregnancy in Ghana before she met Mr Raymond Cotton, her husband and how it all happened. She currently told an Atlanta reporter who interviewed her in prison that she is extremely upset by the turn of events concerning the Quality Grain project, and believes she has done nothing wrong to warrant the 15-year sentence that has been slapped on her.
According to her, she is convinced that God being on her side, she will be vindicated. Friends close to Mrs Cotton who revealed this to Daily Guide’s scouts in Duluh Atlanta on Monday, noted that Mrs Cotton is peeved because she feels cheated and abused by Ghanaian officials who handled the Quality Grain contract with her. She told friends that she came to Ghana with the best of intentions, but was abused. According to the friends, Mrs Cotton (affectionately called JR by her buddies) explained that she got pregnant along the way while following Quality Grain project, but the official who impregnated her, made someone taker her, to a hospital and pleaded that she aborted it.
The friends were emphatic that it was with great reluctance that she agreed to terminate the pregnancy after which she used the incident to her advantage, adding “because of that, when she asked for $1, they gave her $4”. She, therefore, blamed the Guinnette Court in Atlanta, Georgia for committing her to jail without taking her plight into consideration. Mrs Cotton related that because of her friendship with people in high places, she bought expensive cars and other necessities so that she could get attention for the kind of assistance that she required for her multi-million rice project.
JR agrees that she had more money than she actually needed for the project, and despite her generous dissipation of the rice funds, she still had more left for carrying out the project successfully. For that reason, according to the friends, Miss Cotton finds it puzzling that she should be convicted, adding that “American society is still racist”. The friends described Mrs Cotton as a very religious woman, who still counts her hopes on the Lord for making her succeed in her endeavours.
