Ghanaian
legal
content
creator,
The
Law
GH,
has
disclosed
the
possible
legal
fate
of
Pastor
Salifu
Amoako’s
son,
Elrad
Amoako,
who
was
involved
in
a
tragic
accident
resulting
in
the
deaths
of
two
individuals.
According
to
the
lawyer,
Elrad
Amoako,
a
juvenile,
is
unlikely
to
face
jail
time
due
to
the
specific
legal
provisions
that
protect
minors
under
Ghanaian
law.
The
lawyer,
widely
known
for
his
simplified
breakdown
of
Ghanaian
legal
matters
on
social
media,
explained
that
regardless
of
the
severity
of
a
juvenile’s
offence,
the
law
prohibits
the
imprisonment
of
minors.

This
means
that
Elrad
will
not
serve
time
in
a
traditional
prison.
In
his
self-made
video,
he
explained
that
the
worst
possible
outcome
for
the
teenager
would
be
confinement
in
a
juvenile
detention
centre,
with
strict
limitations
on
how
long
he
can
be
held
there.
“For
most
offences,
juveniles
cannot
be
detained
for
more
than
six
months.
However,
in
cases
of
serious
crimes
such
as
murder,
the
period
may
extend
up
to
three
years”
Nevertheless,
the
lawyer
expressed
doubt
that
the
case
involving
Elrad
Amoako
would
fall
under
the
murder
category,
implying
that
his
detention
period,
if
any,
could
be
much
shorter.

recent
accident
involving
the
16
year
old
child,

is
what
the
law
says.This
