Much ado about nothing. Just the usual political noise making from NPP. If they loved violent arm robbers so much they should have pardon him during their 8 years in power.

I will not respond for the NPP but his comment lacked wisdom seriously. We don't love armed robbers just as the law says but you can't give this reason for someone's sentencing according to the rule of law. He could have just said he gave him 70 years so it would be a deterint to others or make the country safe and we will applaud for that reasoning. Don't you see that those he think will not harm him, he will deal leniently with them? He didn't act professionally. If this had been a serious country, he would have been called to resign.

Ayigbe all the way....!!!! The filthy bastards are crying maaa-maaa, but there's absolutely NOTHING that they can do. We have firmly held their necks and squeezing them tight, and they are choking quietly to death. Naaniema...!!!! We are the famous Ayigbe sons & daughters! You joke with us, and we shall surely prove the steel in us to you. We have just assassinated that criminal, hopeless, and evil party and all its stupid members. Now their only option is just to be shouting... "Ayigbe... Ayigbe... Ayigbe" Funnily too, they don't even understand the meaning of the word Ayigbe. All they are thinking about is that they are insulting the Royals, when in actual fact, Ayigbe is never an insult. But we will not even tell them what it is, because they are semi-human beings who would rather prefer to fix their soup with dead rats & flying bats. They add what they think is natural flavor by pouring the pungent faeces of the dead rat to their boiling soup. You can easily smell the stench that stays in their cooking pots many weeks after they have even washed their pots. To God be the glory in the Heavens. Ayigbe will continue to live and magnify their Creator. Oseeeeyyyyy Ayigbe.......!!!! We are the conquerors without equal. Rest In Pieces - NPP!!

The Judge was right. Have we so soon forgotten that some Judges and a Military Officer were rounded up at the night during the Curfew hours with a Special vehicle that were only four in Ghana? The Presidency had one of them and Konadu Agyemang Rawlings knew that one of them with its key was at Rawlings’s house. She gave the key to the kidnappers who rounded up the Judges and the Military Officer, sent them into the bush around the Aburi area, shot them dead and finally attempted to burn their bodies? God being so good and kind, the rain set in and the bodies could not be totally burnt. A Shepherd with his sheep saw everything and revealed it. The criminals were put to trial, found guilty, sentenced to death by Firing Squad but the Anlo Ewes among them were allowed to break jail and escape. You see why some people don’t like Anlo Ewes?
The Judge was right in his judgement because of what happened to some Judges previously under Efo Julor Jeremiah Rawlings. If I was the Judge, I would have sentenced them to 100 years imprisonment with Hard Labor and without any possibility of a Parole. Yes. I have to think about the security of myself and family if the ruthless, dangerous, evil, and notorious criminal Ataa Ayi was to escape from the Prison or come out young. The judge had to give justice and I don’t think his 70 years exceeded what the Sentencing mandate prescribed. Ataa Ayi should die and be buried at the Prison Cemetery. I don’t have a semblance of sympathy and or empathy for him. May he die and be buried in Prison.

What about NDC Armed Robbers, surviving AFRC and NDC murderers? I don’t want them to be shot to death. They need to be tightly bound with cords nakedly while honey is smeared around their eyes, noses, in their ears, anus, and Penis for the Ants to make them enjoy their deaths slowly. This should be done in public and people can be allowed to videotape it and post them on the Web. I just hate such people to the core. When arrested and found guilty by the Justice system, let us treat them with miserable cruelty.

Those eight people were not killed or murdered by Akuffo Addo as Rawlings and Boakye Djan did. Those foolish eight people were just reckless to misbehave at an electoral area when very well Armed Police and Military Personnel were on duty. How brainless were they to openly confront and attack those law enforcement officers and those on duty at an electoral area? Even mentally deranged people know that this should never be done.
The Military and Police Personnel did not just start to shoot these guys over a disagreement. They started to shoot them when those bigots tried to run over them and go on the rampage. Did those who were shot dead think that the weapons the Personnel were carrying were far decorations. The Military and Police Personnel will just not be shooting for fun. They have been trained and will first start by giving warning shots. If those eight fools and the rest of the mob refused to yield but advance on the Armed Guards, what did they expect the Armed Personnel to do? Just clap for them for being brave? They were so stupid and silly that they dug their own Graves and laid in them. So they were shot and killed. Akuffo Addo did not have any hand in their deaths. They just died very stupidly.

Some people have turned such vile vices into a profession for life. Wickedness, me and my family alone and I don’t think about anybody has been converted into a qualification and certificate. It is sad that Ghana has become a centre of DISGRACE AND FOOLISHNESS. We must be able to tell people, even those at the very top when a decision stinks and it’s not in keeping with law and good practices. GOD HAS A VERY GOOD TIME AND WAY TO EXPOSE SUCH EVIL CHARACTERS.

However I firmly believe that what CJ Baffoe-Bonnie said on the sentencing of Atta Ayi lacks wisdom. Judges should be far sighted enough to see the interpretations and opinions people will proffer to every word or statement they mark such that he or she may avoid unnecessary criticism and name calling.

Atta Ayi would have been sentenced to death and hanged by now. From 1982 to 1990 people found of being armed robbers by our courts were hanged or send to death by shooting.

I was going to give Ataa Ayi 100 years if I was judge Baffoe-Bonnie to cool down the hearts ♥ and minds of his victims,if you weren't one of his preys,you think that sentence was harsh!

Any surprise with what the CJ nominee said about Ataa Ayi? NDC sent Election petition to the Supreme Court claiming electoral fraud,at the court Asiedu Nketiah was given opportunity to present his figures to support their claim,he told the whole world that he will rely on the same EC results he claimed were rigged,he had no evidence but this CJ nominee agreed with Asiedu Nketiah and his NDC,Fellow Ghanaians are are not in normal times if this man is going to be CJ.

No matter what the case is about, a judge must follow the rules. This shows that the judge is not fit to be CJ. Why didn't he give him life sentence?

I would have disagreed with Justice BAFFOE-Bonnie but for the fact that he said he gave that judgment as a Younger man. So there is no room to subject this to further discussion. He won’t do the same thing today

If any of you had been a victim of Ataa Ayi, 70years would've been an understatement trust me. You have no idea the trauma one goes through getting robbed at gun point.

For my money Ataa Ayi’s 70 years sentence was rather Lenient. He should have been slapped with 120 years in prison never to come out alive to disturb the citizens of this nation.

So long as he was an armed robber,I don't care if he was even given a 100years sentence. Those vermins must be kept away for good either by shooting them or given long sentences so as not to come out again.

The CJ nominee’s rationale for handing 70 year jail term to the violent criminal, Ataa Ayi is unfortunate, driven by his own selfish delusion of risk to his family and others, presumably other jurists? I have news for JSC Baffour Boni. The last people he should view as presenting potential risk are people he sends to jail for criminal activity. The people he should fear most are the politicians and those who ran the Supi agencies - national security, the military and the Police. These people are the most dangerous you should fear because they don’t think the law , morality and human decency apply to them.? If history can be your guide, they picked up your colleagues in the night and murdered them in cold blood. They made people they don’t like disappear, took a former head of State from his farm and brought him to Accra and shot him, and threatened a former CJ openly on air. The Ataa Ayis of our society are part of the masses, they are fungible and always are sacrificed when need be.
Sleep light, and fear those I’ve mentioned above.Good luck.

This chief justice just confessed he uses the principle of personal vendetting to judge people. The reason he gave should be enough to disqualify him. That is not the principle of the judicial. He is also telling us that he would deal leniently with others whom he thinks he can gain something from. He would be a stomach chief justice moving forward. Its clear now why he changed his ruling at the last minute during the 2013 Election petition ruling. He chose what he can gain over what the truth is. He's not fit to be chief justice.
