Death row convict has sentenced reduced

A convicted murderer on death row has had his sentence reduced. Adolph Harris, convicted of murder for the 1995 killing of Lavern Orosco, will now serve twenty years in jail instead of experiencing the finality of the hangman’s noose. Chief Justice Abdulai Conteh accepted the arguments of attorneys Simeon Sampson and Antoinette Moore that Harris’s eleven years waiting to be executed was a violation of his constitutional rights. He will be a free man in 2015.
