The judge was in an indecent haste to catch the eyes of the president.With judges like this do we need to talk about the independence of the judiciary?
Francis obiri is an idiot who have jailed most innocent people accused of what they knew nothing about.
What does his tribe got to do with this? Anyway Francis Obiri is from BA.
Obiri is a disgrace to the legal profession - he shd be sacked with immediate effect

These are the judges who are favored. Bootlickers like this one. Instead of being fired, he will soon be promoted. Mark my words.

What do you mean? Is it an offense to insult the prez. If anybody attacks the prez he/she is not level minded.
The judge needs to be dismissed instantly. He should not only be dismissed, but a panel of lawyers should be appointed to look into the cases of all convicts that this judge has sentenced and review them.
He's totally incomp ...

U are indeed 4 year old. Because u don't have a brain . U fool . Or u don't understand English ? ?
It is not surprising that Justice Obiri sentenced Samuel Antwi to 10 years in prison. Because he was doing his masters job in order to be prompted to supreme Court. If that was not the case , how could he violate the law. O ...

This loud mouthed man again? Even Lord Denning made error of judgement. Error of judgement is nothing new in our judicial system. That's why we have appellate courts.
God will punish all these judges including the useless dead goat President Mahama
i wish he takes the gun to the prof
Please you people should leave this judge alone. Francis obri has been a intelligent judge who worked very well. his failure to abide by the sentencing provisions should not make him an idiot. I can assure you Pro.Asrae that ...

He can teach him the law but that does not obviate the fact that Obiri is an incompetent horse's derriere of a judge. That you can try to absolve him of this egregious conduct perhaps says a lot about your character or lack t ...

Medical evidence like any other expert evidence is not con clusive in law a court is entitled to reject or accept it
Sack the coacoasi Judge. He taught he was sittin in judgement in his village's chief palace court
First of all Obiri's marbles must be checked, to make sure he's all there. If he's, then he must be fired. He's a Communist judge, he doesn't fit in a democratic environment period. Or if something is wrong with his marbles t ...

The judge has brought our legal system into serious disrepute. I hope the judicial council is concerned.
No the justice dept should go back and investigate all his prior sentencing.
Wait until a so-called 'mad' man harms you then you can talk about recklessness. For a man to know that a gun can be used to kill someone can never be regarded as insane. In fact, you must 'sane' to know that you are 'insane' ...

The security team should have fed him with the right information so that he kills Mahama (dead goat ) twice .They foiled the whole thing .
I agree, reckless people like him in the realms of the states affairs are more dangerous than the mad man
How much did he pay the judgeship ?????.
THE JUDGE WAS DOING THAT TO RECEIVE $1 MILLION FROM THE THIEF MAHAMA
If it takes justice this case to dismissed a judge like this stature then i 'm sorry. If an accused admit in open court that he had committed a crime, what else does he do? In the first place the gentle could find a gun, care ...

This same professor says all coups are illegal except the coup that removed Kwame Nkrumah.
What is his logic in this?
THEY SHOULD RATHER DISMISS THE JUDGE WHO ORDER FOR HIS RELEASE, ARE WE SAYING NOW IF SOME ONE COMMITED A CRIME AND THE PERSON IS INSANE THEN WE SHOULD NOT JAIL THE PERSON,

Why don't you concentrate on what you know best. As if it's, by law a psychiatrist who has the final say as to who should not go to prison. By law a judge can ignore any expert advice. We have even prisons for mentally uns ...
