Kubiita v Uganda (Criminal Appeal 70 of 2023) [2023] UGHCCRD 155 (13 July 2023)

Mubiru & 3 Ors Vs Uganda (Criminal Appeal No. 107 of 2017) [2019] UGCA 197 (2 July 2019)
The Court found that there was no evidence implicating the appellants in the commission of the offence for which they were convicted. The trial judge erred in convicting them, and the appellants ought to have been acquitted on the evidence adduced. Ordering a re-trial in these circumstances would expose the appellants to double jeopardy, which is constitutionally prohibited under Article 28(9). Therefore, the appeal was allowed, the conviction quashed, the sentences set aside, and the appellants ordered to be released immediately. The request for a re-trial was declined.
