He’s Innocent Until Proven Otherwise- Lil Win’s Lawyer

Margaret Mary Adjei Twum, the lawyer of actor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lil Win has stated that his client is not guilty of any of the charges he is accused of until proven otherwise.

This statement comes as they made their third appearance at the Asokore Mampong District Court today, July 29, 2024.

During the proceedings, the prosecutor noted that the docket is still under review at the Attorney General’s office.

Addressing journalists after court proceedings, the lawyer said she was prepared to defend the innocence of her client.

“We will defend because we are so standing on his innocence. We still believe in his innocence until proven otherwise. We will still pursue our posture and the theory of our case will change when we have the reports from the Attorney General.”

She said her client was looking forward to seeing the family who lost their child in the accident heal, as she noted that the incident took a negative toll on the well-being of the actor.

“We want to think as reasonable human beings. And then we pray that as time flies, the family of the deceased will have some sort of comfort, and closure. We are not so much conscious about the money. Now we pray that the family members will be healed and then things will be fine.”
