CRIMINAL APPEAL NO
The prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt due to material contradictions in the evidence regarding the ownership and description of the stolen property, and failure to call material witnesses, warranting adverse inference. Additionally, the trial court's failure to specify convictions for each accused rendered the convictions and sentences a nullity.
