Tinkasimire Lawrence v Uganda (Criminal Appeal No. 204 of 2002) [2009] UGCA 9 (9 February 2009)
The Court of Appeal allowed a criminal appeal, quashing a death sentence where the conviction rested on an uncorroborated confession and weak single-witness identification.
Sebuliba v Uganda (Crim Appeal No. 54 of 2002) [2004] UGCA 17 (20 July 2004)
The Court of Appeal found that the trial judge properly evaluated the evidence, including the identification by PW1 and corroboration by PW4, and correctly rejected the defence of alibi based on inconsistencies and lack of credible support. The appellant's conduct after the incident further supported the prosecution's case. The sentence of twenty years imprisonment was deemed lawful and not excessive, given the seriousness of the offence and the maximum penalty prescribed by law. The appeal against conviction and sentence was dismissed in its entirety.
