DI-82JS-1-06/2022 (Mahkamah Majistret)

The court acquitted and discharged the accused because the prosecution failed to prove the offence beyond reasonable doubt: the complainant's testimony was inconsistent with her police report, uncorroborated by other evidence, and the defence raised credible explanations creating reasonable doubt; accordingly conviction would be unsafe.

MA-83JS-3-04/2025 (Mahkamah Majistret)

The court accepted the accused's unqualified guilty plea as valid after ensuring comprehension; having weighed mitigating factors (OKU status, first offender, early plea, personal circumstances) against the seriousness of the offence and public interest in deterrence, the magistrate concluded a custodial sentence of three months imprisonment (to run from date of arrest) was lawful, proportionate and within the statutory sentencing envelope under Section 354.
