The Office of the Attorney General has appealed the Court of Appeal’s decision that acquitted and discharged Minority Leader Dr Cassiel Ato Forson and Richard Jakpa in the ambulance case.
In the Notice of Appeal filed on August 8, 2024, the Attorney General’s office argued that the majority decision misapplied the standard of proof necessary to determine whether the accused should be required to answer the charges.
The appeal also challenges the majority’s finding that the letters of credit did not constitute a payment under the contract, stating that this conclusion contradicts the evidence presented in the case and is untenable.
The Attorney General’s office is seeking to have the Supreme Court overturn the acquittal and discharge, arguing that the case should proceed with the accused continuing to defend themselves.
Below is the full appeal statement
