Did you understand the piece of information you read before insulting the learned judge? I will not blame you for your lack of understanding and attention to detail.
If you care to know,the culprits were prosecuted on two counts ; Conspiracy to escape from lawful custody and escape from lawful custody. Nothing more nothing less. Therefore the issue of armed robbery is not in contention.

why such soft sentence?....so incase they have hidden some of the loot,they can come back soon and enjoy it whiles the other officer who was killed has his family a life sentence without ever seeing their son,brother,husband and father....Akuffo Addo needs to revamp the judicial service ...there are too many cases that needs looking at ...some has been there for far too long (people have cases thats like 15yrs old and no judgement still going to court)..and soft case like these needs proper sentencing,i believe the offenders being policemen knew how to go around the case(bribes etc) to get a milder sentence because there have to be some big bad policemen in the service who were behind the robbing of the bullion van.....after all its on record in Ghana how some policemen made successful coup d`etat in ghana,so they can do this robbery too.

Idiots should learn something before coming on this site to comment. If you do not know how the law works find out and stop making stupid comments. Anytime somebody escapes from lawful arrest, it is cakewalk to convict and so they are immediately tried on the escape from lawful custody count and sentenced to jail which gives the police the flexibility to properly investigate the extremely serious charges otherwise they can make bail and jump bail. These police officers while in jail will now be charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery and second degree murder, they will eventually spend at least a quarter century in jail, they are not coming out anytime soon.
