Dennis v Republic

Dennis v Republic [2025] KEHC 2893 (KLR)

The High Court will not exercise its revisionary jurisdiction to interfere with a trial court's discretionary decision to allow a charge amendment during an ongoing trial where the magistrate properly exercised their discretion and the accused did not object at the time, as such intervention would amount to unjustified micro-management of trial proceedings and the correctness of the amendment is a matter for appeal, not revision.

Cheboi & another v Republic

Cheboi & another v Republic [2025] KEHC 668 (KLR)

The convictions were unsafe and unsustainable due to a fundamental procedural defect (non-compliance with Section 200 CPC for the 2nd appellant), the prosecution's concession of several charges, the presence of substantial and unresolved contradictions in the key forensic evidence supporting the forgery charges, and the failure of the prosecution to prove the elements of the charges beyond a reasonable doubt, including the absence of demonstrable loss or criminal intent, particularly when viewed against the backdrop of the appellants' roles and the corporation's parallel civil actions.
