Botswana�s Own Angel Of Death Row

FRANCISTOWN: Lawyers who have defended murder convicts at the Court of Appeal (CoA) readily confess that it is one of the most difficult tasks in their profession.  This is mainly because if their clients lose the appeal, they are at the least likely to have their sentences reduced or at the worst being sentenced to death.

The lawyers stated that the stakes are very high in convincing the CoA panel of judges to spare the lives of the murder convicts.
