UBUSHINJACYAHA v NDAYIZEYE
The conviction was upheld because the evidence from the victim, corroborating witnesses, and the medical report was consistent and sufficient. Minor contradictions did not undermine the core evidence, and the absence of a DNA test was not prejudicial given the circumstances. The appellate court found no basis to disturb the conviction or sentence.
