KCC 75/2016

This case involved the theft of money and formal documents. A key issue was whether the evidence was valid.

Background

The office of public prosecution accused three defendants of stealing money and formal documents from a victim. 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 second defendant should be imprisoned for one year.

The first and second defendants appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the two appeals and upheld the appealed ruling.

The first defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. He said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation. He said that the evidence upon which the ruling was established was invalid.

Decision

The court said that this argument was invalid. The court said that the court considered all aspects of the case properly and had established the ruling on the grounds of valid evidence.

The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the appealed ruling.
