Repeated failures by the prosecution to ensure attendance of material witnesses and prolonged delay in prosecution, despite notices and court directions, created prejudice and uncertainty to the accused; under s.254(3) KTJ the court therefore properly exercised its discretion to order discharge and acquittal (A&D) to prevent continued injustice and abuse of process.
