PROSECUTION v UWIMANIHAYE
The failure to summon the civil party, Ntabahejeje Théogène, in the review proceedings constituted a procedural injustice under Article 195 of Law Nº 027/2019, vitiating the judgment. The existence of prior judgments convicting others for the same offence did not qualify as new ground for review since Uwimanihaye Pierre Celestin was aware of them during the original proceedings. The review judgment was therefore invalid, and the original conviction was sustained.
