Supreme Court Orders Release of Prayer Warrior Martha Doe Following Previous 20-Year Sentence

MONROVIA — The Supreme Court has ordered the release of 65-year-old Martha Doe, who was previously sentenced to 20 years in prison for the murder of Joseph Blama.


By: Elton W. Tiah & Perry Zordyu, Contributing Writer


The Supreme Court’s ruling overturns the previous decision by the 2nd Judicial Circuit Court in Grand Bassa County.

Doe, known for her role as a prayer warrior, was convicted on September 26, 2022, following a trial that concluded with a unanimous guilty verdict on charges of murder and kidnapping. The court had sentenced her under subsections 14.1 and 14.50 of the Penal Code, which dictate a 20-year imprisonment for such crimes.

Following the conviction, Doe was taken to Buchanan Central Prison to commence her sentence. However, her defense attorney, G. Mat Diah-Kun Tohr, filed an appeal challenging the trial court’s decision. The appeal was subsequently reviewed by the Supreme Court, which has now overturned the lower court’s ruling.

The exact reasons for the Supreme Court’s decision have not yet been disclosed, but the ruling has generated considerable attention and debate within the legal community.
