KCC 169/2015, 353/2017
Issues included whether the elements of the crime existed when they had not been aware they were injuring the victim and what happened when a defendant was under judicial inspection
Background
The office of public prosecution accused a defendant of causing injury to a victim and driving a car without a licence. The office accused the other defendants of beating the victims. The office requested the court to penalise the defendants according to the relevant laws.
The court ruled that the first defendant should be imprisoned for two years. The court ruled that the other defendants should be put under the judicial inspection for one year.
The first and second defendants appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appeal of the second defendant. The court amended the appealed ruling and ruled that the first defendant should be imprisoned for two years but suspended the ruling's execution for three years on the condition that the defendant paid a guarantee of 500 Dinars.
The first and second defendants appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.
