HAIJA4REALL WON’T BE JAILED FOR 95 YEARS IF SHE NAMES THE BIG FISHES IN THE ENTERPRISE – US-based Prosecutor

“As a prosecutor, I can tell you this might not go to trial because they have enough evidence against her…The reason they have this individual who is popular and famous, I can tell you how it’s going to end. They are going to give all the evidence they have on her to her lawyer.

“Her lawyer is going to review what we call discovery. Then they develop a strategy, the lawyer will tell her to admit some. And then they will work with the Attorney General’s Office. So what usually happens is that they try to mitigate the sentencing…the sentences of all the counts accumulate to a maximum of 95 years. I’m yet to find out somebody serving 95 years in this kind of international wire fraud.

“Usually they plead guilty, and they use them as a leverage. So they are going to use this individual as leverage, to get all those involved. If starts talking and corporating with the federal government, then they might reduce the sentencing.

“They can withdraw some of the charges and definetly will ask for 8-10 years…If she corporate, then she might probably name names, who are the big guns in this enterprise. So sometimes, they use her as the main witness to go after the big fish,” the lawyer told Frank Ntiamoah Williams in an interview, which was monitored by GhanaWeb.
