UBUSHINJACYAHA v UWINKINDI
The appeal was dismissed because the applicant failed to demonstrate any legal or factual error by the lower court that would invalidate the conviction or sentence. The right to counsel of choice was not violated as the applicant was indigent and counsel was properly appointed. The lower court properly distinguished between genocide and crimes against humanity, and the evidence supported conviction for both. Any procedural or evidentiary errors did not result in a miscarriage of justice.
