It was a foggy and gloomy day in Addis yet news that brightened the day just came.
Ethiopian popular singer Teddy Afro is getting out of jail in July or August after the Appeal Court of Cassation this morning decided to maintain the two year sentence given by the apellate court.The presiding judge Alem Awole has ruled in favour of the singer.
The appeal filed by the prosecutor protesting the reduction of Teddy’s prison terms from six to two years was rejected. His fans, who were in the courthouse, shouted and wept with joy.Teddy has already been in jail for a year and three months.The standard procedures for all inmates mean that he is getting out of jail in nearly a month or two.

Looking cute, ma man. Can’t wait to see him out!

Glad to hear Teddy is out, however, if he indeed killed a homeless man, my heart goes out to the man’s family and Teddy has to compensate. Justice for all is what we all stand for, poor,rich, famous etc. Teddy has touched our hearts, I don’t want to think that he really killed, I strongly believe that he has been framed or setup by the regime, that he has criticized a lot through his songs. Someone tell me the truth, I want to continue loving him and admiring his talents.
