Starfmonline reports that the court, superintended by Justice Wilson, witnessed a rare scene after the judge made such an offer to the convict, identified as one Owusu Ansah.

The convict had been charged with theft and was appealing a four-year jail term handed to him.

However, to the surprise of many in the court room, he failed to correctly recite the Lord’s Prayer.

His inability to recite it irked the judge, who reportedly described the convict as “stupid”

The report further claims that Justice Wilson is not new to offering such conditions to convicts, as he has previously done same in other cases.

Ansah, however, got his sentence reduced from four years to three months despite failing to properly recite the Lord’s Prayer.
