Daniel s/o Iganana v. R., Crim. App. 847-M-66; 7/3/67; Platt, J.
Accused appeals his conviction of unlawful wounding on the ground that the wounding was accidental. The trial court stated that even if the wounding was accidental accused was guilty since “…. Accused is the one to blame. He was the source of the trouble.”
Held: If the complainant was wounded accidentally, regardless of who was at fault initially or morally, the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. The appeal was allowed.
