U never wanted to him in first place let's be sincere.

That wouldn't be of any help to the OP. Look at all the prayers and pastors in Nigeria and the country is still a mess.

The way all these Georgia people keep springing up from all angles supporting themselves eh. Georgia people no de indicate whether dem be male or female until you drill them.

Why can’t these Georgia people bring out a video or photo proof to backup their claims?
I knew some people were upto something from the onset, but make we de observe.

Bros/ madam please i am more interested in your video or photo proof than all this dust you littered here.

deewhytee:


That's your personal, warped opinion.

But trust me, THE ALMIGHTY GOD always delights in putting people like you to shame by doing the miraculous and inconceivable.

You've just challenged HIM, and HE'LL definitely rise to the occasion, and make you eat your words.

creativeinventor:
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.

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.

chatinent:


Thanks for your input.

Please, when free, try revisit the case again using these facts:

1. As opposed to what you said, there was actually no in-court identification. Yes, it was falsified!

2. The jury never heard the DNA weren't his...he was standing for himself then (story for another day). The judge prevented his DNA expert from testifying!

3. He was deemed guilty even before the court said so.

4. Do you know him in person? You sound like he has done it before and you bailed him!

I do not mean to disrespect you but I wish to provoke your mind! The best way to help is checking two facts! You hate the figure who raped the minor, yes, it's normal! Don't let it becloud simple judgements and human reasoning! People who were set-up also look guilty! How do people set-up prove themselves innocent? Wear those fccking shoes too!

With due respect, if you cannot help, don't add to injury! We summoned you to help...not play the devil. Whoever you are, it's all six feet for us all!

You would reduce your temper to check possible facts if it were your brother in jail! You wouldn't tell him he'll die there because the court facts said so!

Professional journalism is when you discover what the court didn't want others to know! Not being grandiloquent on already known facts with abysmal insults that would weaken one's bone!

Who am I? I am nobody! I'm a crazy lazy dude on the street of Lagos hating on direct insults to injuries! Yes, and that's why you think nobody is nobody to you! I guess you are feeling pained and want to exercise your “connectedness”...that's what it feels to be accused wrongly!


An investigator tries to let the defendant know beyond all reasonable doubts that there are guilty! To help, they proffer solutions if they think the defendant is repentant at least!

You just came in and pronounced judgement like you live in heaven!

Do you even know what he is asking for? He is not asking to be innocent! He only needs the momentum so his case can be revisited and due process followed! That's all he is asking! If he is guilty, wouldn't it end the same way!

Whether Lagos or Maiduguri in Georgia, human government and system is not PERFECT!

I provoke you to read! It seems you only read to rewrite and not read to discover!

I provoke you to wear those shoes!

I provoke you to show the whole world you were the journalist who spoke out for due process!

Yes, I provoke you that you can do better beyond your emotions!

I put it to you....you are going to do the right thing!

I am now done provoking you! Don't bother replying because I am SORRY!


Thank you!

1stGenAmerican:


So all of the things that you are asking of God only apply to the convicted man?

Have you even taken into consideration that maybe God answered the prayers of the child and her parents which is why a guilty verdict was rendered and a long sentence handed down?

Perhaps that poor little girl had very strong people lifting her up in prayer and God put the girl’s enemies to shame?

Some of you act as though only certain people are entitled to God’s mercy and intervention when it is quite possible that He has already moved.

deewhytee:


Mention me too.. I'm interested.
Thanks

BKsoul:
Do you really and truly believe that if he is guilty, that he will come out to plead innocent of the crime? not even pleading for a shorter sentence? but innocence

temblor1:

I'm beginning to consider a grand conspiracy involved in this case, as regards the recent emergence of dubious characters whose only aim is undermining Powerhouse5050's right to an appeal by subduing the interest of people bent on ensuring a retrial and a fair hearing.
Whatever information the defendant is withholding is crucial if truly he's in need of deserving help.
His brief history.
His travels.
His engagements.
His acquaintances in Nigeria, Japan and US.
His next plans and intentions in the US before his arrest and incarceration.
A clear picture of people he knows in the state and those he came across during his brief stay in the US.
Any grudge, conflict of interest, debt, deals etc with locals, neighbours, vendors, law enforcement etc no matter how negligible it might be, can be the missing link.
Body fluids can be swapped.
Clothes can be stolen and disposed of close to the crime scene.
The witness can be compromised.
IN FACT THE RAPE MIGHT NOT HAVE EVEN OCCURED in the first instance, and the victim can be a victim of child abuse by paedophiles in form of parents, guardians, neighbours etc.
A great possibility if a setup exists going by the defendant's behaviors on this forum.
You might never know who's foot you stepped on that hurts the most.
About racism: Colour on colour racists exists and is not just limited to White hates on blacks.
The defendant should be wary of his approach lately on this forum.
Left to me, all questions and comments should be directed to a few people vetted by him on this thread, who in turn will be in constant communication with him.
I don't want his chances to a fair appeal botched.
Were watching from the side.
Shalom.

May you be misarable if this man is innocent. Witch!!!

1stGenAmerican:


First things first: a 13 year old girl is not a lady.

Next, the prosecution never withheld that particular video. You and your attorney filed a motion that the video you speak of not be admissible in court because, according to you, it was blurry and positive identification could not be made. That motion was granted by the court. But now you are upset that your wish was granted?

don't see any reason why you should be bringing this issue here, in northern Nigeria cousins are allowed to get married, like sanusi lamido who married his cousin. The man you are quoting is also from northern nigeria and he didn't raped his cousins, bringing this issue to discredit him in his attempt to vindicate the op is completely out of line.

Powerhouse5050:


I was never arrested for this crime..... When the police stopped my SUV , they questioned me about it and the invited me to the police station to have more discussions about the 6 SUVs that I just bought and fully paid for,I drove to Douglas country police department by myself without any warrant.

After 20 minutes of interrogation at the police station about my SUV and the payment method....
The police officer changed the topic and said he will like to question me about a crime that happened in the complex I was living.

I replied him that he brought here to question me about my vehicles...but now he has changed it took a crime that happened....I have no idea about what you are taking about and because of that I don't want to say anything to you again.

After some persuation and I refused to talk , the detective then said he will have no option than to arrest me for the crime and he will charge me with rape...
This scenario happened just 2 hours after the crime happened.

2 hours for God sake

Staccato001:


! If this is exactly how it played out and nothing was held back nor garnished, then you were just a pawn in a villainous systemic conspiracy. Some are fast to testify against one, crucify and bury even though they had no realistic evidence against another nor were they witnesses. We must becareful when passing the buck that could send a fellow human to ultimate perdition mostly when there are jagged edges as to the accused's culpability.

There's been cases of wrongful convictions on the Innocents and even biased acquittal/ soft landing on the guilty in some climes people thought their system are impeccable in all indices.


To the OP, if you're truly innocent, please take solace in this... it may take time but God will eventually vindicate you in one way or another if ONLY you believe! And now is even the time to draw closer to God if you've not really been. Who said the main suspect can't be apprehended? Who said prayers don't work? He may even helplessly own up to the crime when a heavy unseen hand descend upon him and renders him restless.

deewhytee:


Your comment had me in tears!
Especially the #JusticeForBah part.

It got me so emotional.

And I'm glad so many people, especially you are seeing this guy's INNOCENCE.

Please, in any way you want to render help to further this noble cause of proving his INNOCENCE, please count me in.

And may GOD continue to shower his blessings upon you and your household for trying to help an innocent man get justice.
You shall never lack any good thing, and strangers from the four corners of the earth will rise up to help and uplift you too. AMEN.

Thanks so much, Bro.

Was she a virgin? Was there a tear in her anus to indicate forceful-first time sodomy?

wirinet:


You don't see any reason why MMotimo should bring up the issue of temblor1 supporting indiscriminate fúcking of cousins but you support temblor1 asking about the virginity of a 13 year old rape victim


In the same northern Nigeria old men are allowed to get married to 13 year old girls. Try that in the US and you will be convicted for rape.

In the same north, if you are found fùcking a girl/woman without marrying her, you will be lynched.

The character of you guys purporting to support Mr Bah is suspect. The only people in fact helping him are 1stgenamerican and Georgechidi apart from chatinent, others are just tell bent on justifying their wayward tendencies while making thing more difficult for Mr Bah. They are preparing him from what he will face in order to convince anyone to look at his case.
And if his appeal comes through, what he will face from the DA, prosecutors and the press will be 100 times worse. If he cannot convince doubters here of his innocence, I doubt he will the able to convince anyone in the U.S.

mysticwarrior:
you are very wrong, apart from chatinent the other two you mentioned are bent on defending the action of the American Justice system in this man's case, regardless if the jury might have been wrong, one of them even said "I say he is guilty because the Jury said so" you should know that not every one has the ability to convince others, but from what the OP has been saying it looks like they may have made a mistake somewhere. You are doubting the OP in his quest to prove his innocence, that is why you doubt if what he is saying would convince anyone in the US. Pls note that the American criminal Justice department is not 100% perfect, there are numerous cases of innocent people who have been wrongfully convicted in the US, below are just a few cases.

404Dev:
Have taken my time to go through the thread since last night and I will make my submissions.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer neither have I ever practiced law before.

1. Nobody is accusing Mr bah or trying to prove anything against him. In law and I beleive also in the US, a person is presumed innocent until convicted and in this case Mr bah has been convicted.

So the jd woman and the journalist aren't trying to prove anything against him I believe.

It is Mr. Bah that must prove his innocence in his appeal.

2. In my opinion, the jd woman has really been the most helpful to his case here as believe me if she is asking these questions and punching the holes imagine what the attorneys would do in court.

This should help Mr bah know how to strengthen his case and know which of his evidences are weak and how exactly they can be countered in court.

3. Mr. Bah has placed his invoice majorly on 2 pieces of evidence - the 6 mins phone call he had and the dna testimony of his expert and I will tackle them both.

Like I said earlier I am not a lawyer, but these could help Mr bah build up his evidences.

4. Mr bah claims he made a 6 mins phone and has asked several times if he can be making a phone call and raping the girl at the same time. Well, here are counter questions:

4a. What was the duration of the assault? Did the assault happen for exactly 6 mins or shorten?

Cos if the assault lasted longer eg for at least 30 mins then the 6 mins call becomes baseless. As I can have a phone call for 6 mins and then proceed to do other things.

4b. Was the exact time of the assault recorded. Not an assumed time but the exact time.

Why? Because 6 mins is extremely short and it has to be proved that the assault happened at exactly the same time Mr bah made the call and that the assault lasted for 6 mins.

So I believe the call is a weak piece of evidence (again I am not a lawyer and Mr bah should seek appropriate legal counsel)

5a. Did they victim identify Mr bah at any time.

I believe most parents would ask that their children not testify in an open court cos of the trauma it could cause but that shouldn't stop the victim from talking privately to police I believe.

So did the victim positively identify Mr bah at any time during the investigations?

If she did not, then his defence should be built around this.

5b. There was reportedly a cctv footage and online media reports say the footage shows Mr. Bah chasing the victim into the Woods.

Was this cctv footage shown in court?

If so, what was Mr. Bah reason for chasing the victim?

If the victim did not positively identify Mr bah as the attacker at any point, then that should be argued in court, could be given as I believe this is negligence on thier part (again Mr bah should consult with an attorney)

5c. According to Mr. bah there exists a second cctv footage that shows a man putting a shorts described to the police during a 911 call.

Now this a tricky one?

According to Mr bah, this particular footage wasn't shown in court.

Mr. Bah have you seen this footage and did you identify the man on shorts?

If not, did those who saw the footage identify the man as you?

If his face wasn't captured, did they identify any obvious difference in both your appearance? Significant height and weight difference, hair, tattoo or body piercing, skin color etc.

If yes, then this should be the center piece of your defence.

If you aren't sure, then your attorney should request to study the tape if possible.

6a. Was there any other dna collected at the crime scene?

This could prove that there are more than 1 suspect.

6b. Wad the results of dna analysis disputed in court or was it just the method used in getting the results?

6c. Did they dna expert Mr. Bah claims didn't testify conduct a fresh and different test to disprove that which was presented at not.

If not, how did he arrive at the analysis?

6d. Was the tests presented in court carried out by just one lab or did multiple labs present they same result.

6e. Did Mr. Bah ask for the dna analysis to be redone at any time during the hearings.

If not, is that still possible?

6f. Did the lab or labs that conducted have any history of dna swaps, fraudulent activities or any other incriminating records?

MMotimo:
If the convict is guilty as decided by a jury of his peers, you have to admit there are some “fine people” on his side, one of whom is this character. A person who by his own admission on this site, slept with his cousin “only” 3 times and also encouraged another character to do same in the most cold, unfeeling language “Fvck her and move on.” Wonder why those words remind me of his cold, unfeeling comments specific to the child’s rape experience on this thread.

Once you get over the shock of all that, you start to wonder about the sex with his own cousin - Was it consensual? Was it not? How old was this cousin? Your guess is as good as mine. Hug your daughters a little closer and trust nobody, sometimes the enemy is closer than you think…..

P.S. Adedoja - guilty or not, you should never refer to a 13 year old child as “lady.” Same advice goes to all grown ass men, calling a 13 year old child a lady suggests you are seeing her in a way you should NOT. As for a 5 year old’s virginity? If you’re making a stupid response like that with that kind of emoji, you’re at best suffering from a complete lack of emotional intelligence or at worst. . .. . . .?
