Procedural Posture

Criminal / Judgment and Sentencing

Legal Issues

  3. 3 Whether the prosecution proved the case beyond reasonable doubt

Ratio Decidendi

The court convicted because eyewitness testimony placed the accused atop the victim and striking him repeatedly, medical evidence established a mandible fracture amounting to grievous hurt under s.320, and the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt or provide a credible alternative explanation; therefore the prosecution proved voluntariness and the likelihood or intention to cause grievous hurt under s.325 beyond reasonable doubt.
