KCC 788/2001
This case involved an individual who was accused of causing permanent disability to a person in a prison fight. A key issue was whether there was evidence this had caused the disability.
Background
An appellant said in his grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling by which he was convicted of causing permanent disability to a person had erred in the application of law and had insufficient evidence of causation. He said that the victim was injured in a fight in the prison and that there was no evidence that he was the person who caused the disability.
Decision
The court of cassation said that this argument was invalid. The court said that the court considered all aspects of the incident and concluded that the elements of the crime existed. The court said that the documents of the case revealed that the appellant along with other convicted persons assaulted the victim and caused the permanent disability to him. The court said that the criminal intention existed in the case and that the elements of the crime existed as well. The court said that the court established its ruling on the grounds of solid evidence.
The court dismissed the appeal
