TypeCriminal AppealPostureAppeal against conviction and sentence from the original Criminal Case No.909 of 2005CoramSAID J. CHITEMBWE
Holding
The prosecution proved its case as required and the appeal lacks merit.
Facts
The appellant and three others were charged with assault causing actual bodily harm. PW1 identified the appellant as one of the attackers, but could not remember where the other attackers assaulted him. PW2 and PW3 did not see the appellant at the scene.
Issues
- Whether the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt
- Whether the appellant was in the house of Asman Osundwa during the incident
Reasoning
PW1 identified the appellant as one of the attackers, and his evidence was corroborated by PW4. The appellant's denial of being in the house and his testimony about drinking chang'aa in glasses during the incident were not sufficient to disprove the prosecution's case.
Outcome
Appeal Disallowed
