Oga, I have seen all your comments. Remember u are not God, u aren't the only one who can help him.

1stGenAmerican:


Sure! I can answer that.

The documents I posted DOES say that 2 sets of DNA were found. One belonged TO THE VICTIM and the other belonged TO YOU.

I am sitting here watching you rile these people up because most don’t have the capacity to understand what those documents state.

ANYONE in the US with a JD that is reading WILL NOT HELP YOU because the more you talk, the more we can tell that you are purposely being deceptive. There is no way on Gods green earth that a jury will find someone guilty when the DNA presented in court belongs to someone not related to the crime. That may happen in Nigeria but NOT HERE.

The people still believing you and asking me questions prove that they are clueless about the US Justice System.The Nigerian consulate will not help you because you lied to them. The person attending your Pretrial hearings stopped going and started ignoring you when the evidence and YOUR statements showed them you were lying.

Cc justwise

1stGenAmerican:


No need to continue badmouthing me and calling me names.
I was only here to help but as I stated in my message above, I will allow you to provide him with assistance that is more suitable to you.

God Bless

I will gladly assist by going down on my knees to pray to God to vindicate him if he is innocent, God is greater than your American criminal justice system.

Alright. Enough.

I'm George Chidi. I'm an investigative journalist of Nigerian descent, living in Georgia. I write for The Intercept and appear on local television in Atlanta. I am familiar with Douglas County, criminal justice issues in Georgia and the mechanisms of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation crime lab.

Google me. I'm easy to find.

A friend contacted me to take a look at this. The claims of Adedoja Bah do not stand up to cursory examination. He was convicted not as a matter of mistaken identity, but because DNA found at the scene matched his own. He's arguing that the tests were flawed, but a court ruled that they were not: the testing mechanism is the gold standard and the very best available. Here's the ruling: https://www.cybgen.com/information/admissibility/Bah2019.pdf

I would be the first person to advocate for someone convicted out of racial bias in Georgia. It exists. But that's not what happened here, and certainly not in Douglas County, which is not the rural banjo-playing south. It's a relatively affluent suburb of Atlanta that voted 2-to-1 for Joe Biden last year. There are parts of Georgia where justice for a Black person can be immediately questioned. Douglas County isn't one of them. It's the Nigerian equivalent of Ota or Lekki when talking about Lagos. He's trying to make it sound like he was arrested in Maiduguri.

The Georgia prison system is, indeed, terrible. It is unsanitary and dangerous -- and extremely so for people who commit crimes against children. His life is legitimately at risk. And so, I can imagine why he would look for some way to get out of prison.

But he did it. He's guilty of the crime. His protests are self-serving lies by a man with nothing but his life left to lose.

I've read from page 1 and now I'm here to share my opinion


Many posters kept asking why the 6 SUVs pirchase matter to the case but I think it does.

The purchase of 6 SUVs in a day with cash will instinctively tell that the accuse is part of a snuggling or money laundering ring cos he couldn't have come into America with the cash used in the purchase so he definitely is moving money by converting them to accessories (SUVs in this case) and this helps the prosecutors determine the criminal nature of this individual.

Due to this act they already profile him as fearless and boastful criminal that believes he can always get away with any criminal act cos how can someone visiting the US for the first time perfect tha act to smuggle a whole 6 SUVs worth of cash?

They would have also questioned his source of funds to these purchases and if he kept lying then they would doubt any argument he puts up against the rape allegation.

If the victim said a black guy raped her and there's a boastful criminal minded black guy there at time of rape then he automatically becomes a suspect and I'm sure he couldn't proof his innocence during trial and investigations.


Suspect profiling is really important and I expect Mr Bah to be able to give some back story about himself prior to landing in the US and while he was in the US till he got arrested but he has avoided answering any questions regarding what he does prior to his arrest while in Japan or in the US.

If you want us to help you let us know you beyond the Mr Bah that was convicted of rape. To me this is necessary.


Thanks

Do you know if he made cash declaration on arrival at the airport?

I just went through the whole thread just now, I was initially following the other one Mr. powerhouse created that hit front page, I didn't even know it's has gotten to this extent.

First of some people that are saying others should desist from name calling of 1stGenAmerican, I'm sorry I'm here to do the opposite that woman is DESPICABLE, I read through each and every of her comments and she decided to play JUDGE on this man's case.
1stGenAmerican you even said you were trying to help, LMAO, God get patience oo, you were not ready to help, you were ready to condemn and make sure nobody gives him the benefit of the doubt, that was your sole aim, if you were God you would have given this man a worse punishment due to the way you were speaking, you sounded so sure he was guilty of the crime, there was no objective reasoning in all of your statement. I'm still trying to fathom how you can harbour all those bitter statement. Chai on a fellow human being when he's not a goat/cow. The man kept on tackling you and you continued on a JD stand and assumed nairalanders are illiterates that can't understand law contexts, I can't speak for everyone but I can speak for myself, I understood everything he posted here, even though I still have some questions, I'd rather not see it from your distasteful point of view.

Chatinent I would like to help in any way I can, I have sent you a mail, kindly respond.

Ok boss.

Powerhouse5050:



Dear Mr George Chidi,

Thank you for stopping by and I am also glad to know that you are investigative journalist and also you do understand the way of criminal justice system.

However even though you claimed to be an investigator it seems to me that the only thing you have investigated so far in the report that was put out by my prosecutor.

As an investigator have you taken a moment to look at the evidences I have provided?

You said they don't matter right?

Yet the GPS is an evidence that people have used to prove their innocence, even after conviction.....but in my case you said it does not matter right?

2, What was the result of your investigation in regards took the phone call and alibi at the same time I was suppose to be assaulting the young girl,could you explain your hypothesis to nairalanders?

3, You claimed my DNA was found at the crime scene, but you failed to read the testimony by GBI that says " We can not conclude that Mr Bah Is the contributor of the DNA found in the vagina"
If it is not Mr. Bah then who?

It seems you have some other result that I have never seen.....you may as well provide the report you read here.

I expect a man of your caliber to dig deeply into provided information before making a conclusion.

Did you even bother to take a look at defense expert testimony where the expert concluded that the profile of the alleles found in the vagina is totally different from allele profile of Mr. Bah and that exclude Mr Bah, that tesimoney was based on GBI data......doesn't that prove to you that the result released by the prosecution was actually FALSE REPORT.

Your conclusion lack basic iota of professionalism ,unless you can prove my evidences otherwise.

The evidences i have provided were part of 1200 pages court record that 1stGenAmerican refered to, maybe you should study the evidences and come back to prove them otherwise One by One.

Thank you

Did he?


If he did he should state it here.


Those who import/export such valuables with legitimate funds don't usually pay cash for such transactions cos they need proof of transaction.

Hi,

I guess you are from D.H, thanks for coming. Do you have any suggestions to proffer?

GeorgeChidi:
I have looked at the "evidences" you've provided in this thread.

You're full of shit. Straight up.

I mean, I get it. People are getting shanked and murdered all around you in the state prison at Coffee County. The Georgia prison system is falling apart, and prison gangs have effectively taken over state prisons because of the labor shortage with guards. You can get your hands on a cell phone because things are that loose right now. Those prison gangs take a very, [i]very [/i]dim view of child rapists. You fear for your life, so you're reaching out any way you can hoping someone will get you out.

You've lied like hell through much of the posts here. You were defended by a public defender, and didn't spend your own money on your defense. You challenged the DNA evidence -- because it was a close enough match to you to overcome the doubts of a judge and jury. The victim identified you in court as the attacker. There is no meaningful doubt about your guilt. Nonetheless, I have a phone call out to the district attorney and a records request to the Douglas County courthouse for the full transcript.

With that kind of evidence, you leaving your phone somewhere else while committing the crime -- your "GPS" evidence -- doesn't matter. Minor questions about whether or not you were able to ditch your clothing don't matter. Nothing you've said overcomes the strength of the evidence presented in court, or demands that I "investigate" any further than this.

You were convicted fairly. You are no longer entitled to a presumption of innocence, particularly on the strength of this evidence.

You think you're going to die in jail, and soon. I sympathize with that fear. You were sentenced to life in prison, not to be garroted by a murderer in a dark corner of a prison hall. But you belong in prison.

creativeinventor:


I'm yet to see it boss, maybe try resending

GeorgeChidi:
My suggestion would be to sympathize with a man living in dangerous conditions in a Georgia prison, but not to accept his self-serving arguments for his innocence. He's guilty.

Here's the thing with DNA evidence: if it's not you, it's usually really obvious. You don't have to prove it with deep statistical analysis. It's just ... not there. What they had was close enough to present to a jury, "inconclusive" only by a narrow technical reading of the law and the science. That's why he tried to get a court to throw it out: as evidence, it's solid enough.

Again: the victim testified. I'm going to read this transcript, and read this testimony. Every new comment in this thread re-victimizes a 13-year-old girl.

I am arguing loudly that most of the people in prison in Georgia should be released right now on humanitarian grounds. I wouldn't make that argument for Bah today, based on what I've seen. He should never be a free man again.
