Criminal law

Case summary

The Court allowed the appeal and quashed the conviction and sentence. The Court found that the conviction could not be supported as the Chief Magistrate failed consider evidence that the Complainant still had the money which was allegedly stolen in December 2017, in January 2018. This evidence ran counter to the case which the prosecution was advancing. The Court also found that the Chief Magistrate failed to consider inconsistencies, including about the amount of money that was allegedly stolen. The Court did not agree that the Chief Magistrate failed to have sufficient regard to the Appellant's case or that the Appellant's Constitutional rights were violated.
