PW 2 and PW 3 then went i nto hiding in the banana plantation near the house. One Kityo, shot by the robbers, was subsequently admitted in Mulago Hospital casualty ward. During the same night the appellant was found lying down on the compound of someone near the scene of the robbe r y. The appellant had bullet wounds on the arm and in the chest. When No. 28416 D/C Charles Kemba, (PW5) asked him if he knew how he had sustained the injuries, he explained that his fellow robbers had shot him. PW5 took him to Mulago Hospital: When PW2 an d PW 3 went to visit one Kityo at the Hospital they found that the appellant had also been admitted in the same ward. Both witnesses saw and recognized the appellant as one of those who had robbed them. On 16/11/1999, W/D/IP Balidawa Margaret (PW 4) record e d a charge and caution statement from the appellant. In the statement, the appellant admitted participation in the robbery, but during the trial he retracted and repudiated his confession. After holding a trial within a trial, the judge admitted the confe ssion statement as having been made voluntary and as true.

He said that he was shot by unknown people as he was returning to his brother's house. The learned trial judge rejected the appellant's defence, and believed the prosecution evidence, convicting the appellant as indicted. His appeal to the Court of Appeal was unsuccessful. Hence this appeal, based on two grounds, which are firstly, that t he learned Justices of Appeal erred in law and fact when they upheld a conviction based on an unsatisfactory confession, and secondly that the learned Justices of Appeal erred in law and fact when they failed to judicially evaluate the evidence on record thereby coming to a wrong decision. \par }\pard \s15\qj \li0\ri0\sl-240\slmult0\widctlpar\faauto\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\fs20\insrsid5919264 \par \par }\pard \s15\qj \li0\ri0\sb24\sl-490\slmult0\widctlpar\faauto\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\cs23\fs22\insrsid5919264 Mr. Noah Sekabojja learned counsel for the appellant said that he would argue both grounds of appeal together, but in essence his argument revolved only around the first ground.

He said that he was told to sign the statement before he could be taken for treatment. Policemen were not the ones guarding him at Mulago. He was a mech a nic but he had never gone to school.

Regarding the appellant's confession statement, the learned Justices of Appeal referred to the appellant's confession that he and his colleagu e s planned the robbery. They stopped PW 2 and PW 3 at the gate of their house and robbed them of the bag containing money. After the robbery someone arrested the appellant. Patrick shot at the person who had arrested the appellant and they had a struggle. I n the process the appellant was accidentally shot in the leg. He had to be carried by his fellow robbers. When his fellow robber, Kiwa, was tired of lifting him up, the other robber, Patrick, shot the appellant in the abdomen and was left for dead. The le arned trial judge found that the appellant's confession was true.

Both witnesses testified that robbers who had a pis tol attacked them at their gate. When the pistol was fired the windscreen was smashed.

This evidence showed that the appellant had a fracture of the right leg, and was a larcerated wound on the abdomen. The wounds were about 10 days old. The medical report was made on the 17}{\cs23\fs22\super\insrsid5919264 th}{\cs23\fs22\insrsid5919264 November 1999, which was about twelve days after the robbery. The injuries described in the medical report tallied with what the appellant stated in his confession. The appellant stated that Patrick had accidentally shot him on t he leg. Subsequently because Kiwa was tired of carrying him, Patrick shot him in the abdomen leaving him for dead. The learned trial judge was therefore right to base the appellant's conviction on his confession, which was made voluntarily, true and was c orroborated. The learned Justices of Appeal, rightly so in our view upheld this finding. There was ample evidence to support his conviction. \par }\pard \s15\qj \li0\ri1099\sb53\sl-490\slmult0\widctlpar\faauto\rin1099\lin0\itap0 {\cs23\fs22\insrsid5919264 In the circumstances, the two grounds of appeal must fail and we find no merit in the appeal.
