    That single act of cruelty by late JJ Rawlings on Nana Osae Ntifu (Bismarck) of Aburi is the reason why they hate him.Bismarck's death was horrible than those who died in the Helicopter crash.His family couldn't get his body.

    Agradaa is not a first-time offender. She has been behind bars more than once. Ato Essien knowingly decided to defraud the banking system. Both do not qualify for an amnesty. Simple.

    Among the 87 death row inmates some may be innocent but anyone on death row must have committed a serious crime so at least some of them will be dangerous even if 10 or 15 bringing them back to the society.
