Criminal law MAPAMBANO ABIUD MICHAEL VERSUS REPUBLIC Draft Judgment

MAPAMBANO ABIUD MICHAEL VERSUS REPUBLIC Draft Judgment

Court
TANZLII

The appeal was dismissed because the prosecution's evidence, both oral and documentary, was strong, consistent, and unchallenged on material points. The appellant's failure to cross-examine key witnesses amounted to admission of incriminating evidence. The certificate of seizure was validly executed, the chain of custody was properly established, identification and valuation of government trophies were competently done, and the extrajudicial statement was lawfully recorded. The prosecution proved the case beyond reasonable doubt on all counts.

Source excerpt

  • Unlawful entry into game reserve
  • Unlawful possession of government trophy
  • Unlawful possession of weapon
  • Unlawful possession of firearm
  • Unlawful possession of ammunition
  • Chain of custody

The prosecution failed to strictly prove the age of the victim, a vital ingredient of statutory rape, and failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant was responsible for the pregnancy; the extrajudicial statement was not recorded in compliance with the Chief Justice's Guide; the delay in naming the appellant and inconsistencies in evidence created doubt which must be resolved in favour of the appellant.
