Yet the British High Commission are interfering with the Justice proceedure just so "the court could consider a social services report from London on the girls"
What!
We already know what they are, They are stupid patois talking Urban R&B & Rap Listening, bling and trainer wearing morons, that would have done it all over again if they had not be caught.
Let the local form of justice follow its normal course and give them 30 years each or better still beheads them,
It might then filter through into the most weed infested brain, smuggling Coke is not a good idea no matter how much "nice trainer and bling de man promise init"
ACCRA (Reuters) - A court in Ghana on Wednesday delayed for a second time the sentencing of two British teenagers found guilty of smuggling 6 kg (13 lbs) of cocaine to allow a social services report to be taken into consideration.
Yasemin Vatansever and Yatunde Diya were arrested on July 2 at Accra airport when Ghanaian anti-drugs officers said they found cocaine worth 300,000 pounds ($620,000) in laptop bags they were carrying as they boarded a flight to Britain.
The two, both 16, were found guilty by a juvenile court in the former British colony last November. They are now due to be sentenced on January 23.
Sentencing had originally been due in early December but was delayed until Wednesday so the court could consider a social services report from London on the girls.
"We got word from the Ghana social welfare department that they have not finished studying the report," British High Commission spokesman Gary Nicholls told reporters.
"Since they are expected to add their comments before submitting it to the court, the judge has agreed to give them a further two weeks," he said, adding the judge would not allow any further delay beyond January 23.
The teenagers, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, have said they were tricked into carrying the bags by male acquaintances in Ghana and Britain, and did not know their content.
The two were arrested under Operation Westbridge, a project set up by Britain and Ghana to tackle drug smugglers using Accra airport as a gateway to Britain and Europe.
