How on earth do you jail someone for 20 years for stealing a note pad, usb drive and 300 cedis? Ghanaian judges are plain idiots and this unjust sentences has to be stopped. Politicians and government executives steal in million of dollars and when caught, never sentenced. This has to stop.

It was not what was stolen but the nature of the robbery and the attempted rape. I would have liked 30 years for him. Good job judge.

From Adam and Lee's contributions, their sympathies lie with the robber. Because they are in the same profession they see themselves in the shoes of this despicable armed robber/rapist. How can a normal person criticise the judge for this lenient sentence for this idiot who used a gun to commit this heinous crime. But for the timely arrival of the security personnel this woman would have been raped, and could have been infected with HIV.
Please Adam & Lee, spare us such insensitive comments. This guy deserves a death sentence not a slap on the wrist like 20 years.

Adams whatever you call yourself .can't you see that it was un armed robbery and attempted rape? wise up. The Judge should have given more years to serve as deterrent to others.

A deterrent indeed, if this thief has financial backing with a lawyer, the judged couldn't have sentenced him to 20yrs.

Adam, Lee, Abdul & Co. since you think the jail term is'draconian' for 'mere armed robbery in someone's own home' with the threat of rape, injury or even worse, you could contact your criminal fraternity, use some of your stolen wealth to hire 'Good Lawyers' to appeal and let's see what happens! One of the worst arguments we often read here is: "Why should politicians who steal state funds in millions walk free while 'poor armed robbers' are jailed heavily?" I cannot understand how any reasonable human being who has been carried in the mother's womb for Nine solid months born and fed with valuable food to grow to a mature state, think like this! May the Good Lord help us. Amen

What I said was, if the thief has good presentation or provided one by the state, the judge might have given him less sentence and you know that. Poor criminals are sentenced to long sentences because of our corrupt legal system. I bet you if the thief has money like you might have, the police would have released him or drag their feet.

You probably did not read the whole article. The victims were held under gun point , and that fool tried to rape his victim. That's more than 20 in the U.S. I felt the same as you till I read the whole thing.

Not under gun point, beatings and attempted rape. You do no jail time for any of these accusations in the Western World? You live in a different Western World.

No doubt he's a thief and has committed a crime, 20 yrs in jail for this crime is a waste of tax payers money. Poor mate with no legal aid. Only poor people are given this kind of harsh sentences.

Robbing a bank in USA without a gun can get you a few years or a couple of months but if you use a weapon as small as a box cutter, you automatically get 24 years in prison. It don't matter how much money you get from the bank. That attempted rape couple with the weapon charges can get you more than 40 years.
Put your wife, mother or your sister in the victim's place. Do you think if something like this happens to them you will ask for a stay in the Golden hotel for the perp.
