Managing Public Perception in Ghana's Justice System (2) – The Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu Case

This is the second in a two-part series on why Ghana's justice system must manage public perception, not only deliver lawful outcomes. The first piece looked at the Wontumi mining case. This one turns to Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu's acquittal, and to a judicial practice that deserves scrutiny in its own right.
