That’s the beauty of the rule of law, everybody is entitled to due process, so they can appeal. But looking at the facts as presented both in court and in the media, good luck with the appeal.

The lawyer of the notorious due to be executed armed robber Johnson Kombian has revealed they would appeal the verdict because their client is innocent.

George Asomani spoke to Starr News and confirmed the appeal, also calling the death penalty old fashioned. They believe they can get the sentence overturned.

“He [Kombian] has given instructions to launch an appeal against the judgment because he still maintains his innocence and he thinks the judgment was not right.

“In any case the sentence of death by hanging is harsh, excessive and out of date,” Asomani said.

Kombian, who slaughtered two cops in the Northern Region of Ghana, was sentenced to death by hanging by a seven-member jury.

He was charged on two counts of murder for killing Constable Prince Agyare and Constable Owusu Frimpong on October 17, 2010–luckily the third police officer, Corporal Osei Bonsu survived the attack.

He was alson handed a 30-years prison term on the charge of conspiracy to commit crime.
