'Goodies' To Appear In Court

Music Producer, Isaac Abeidu Aidoo, popularly known as �Goodies� who is serving a 13-year jail term at the Nsawam Medium Security Prisons for narcotic related offences, is expected to surface in court next week to appeal against his sentence. A source close to the Fast Track High Court, disclosed to the the Times newspaper that Aidoo has filed an application at the court to appeal against the 13-year jail sentence handed him by an Accra Circuit Court on November 26, 2008. According to the source, Aidoo is likely to appear before the court on Tuesday for his application to be heard. The Times last week spotted Aidoo�s wife at the Fast Track High Court presided over by Justice Charles Quist, but the popular music producer who has produced some of Ghana�s best hip-life musicians was not in court. Aidoo who has spent almost 16 months in prison, was sentenced on November 26, 2008 on each of the two counts of attempted exportation and possession of narcotic drugs without lawful authority. The sentence which took retrospective effect from April 23, 2008 � the day of his arrest came shortly after he pleaded for leniency claiming that he did not know the substance he swallowed was cocaine.
