adminpending appeal.
Tsuro, who was charged with attempted murder, but convicted of a lesser charge of assault was not incarcerated after his lawyer Mr Norman Mugiya made an application for bail pending appeal. Magistrate Mr William Bhila granted Tsuro US$150 bail. Tsuro is challenging both his conviction and sentence. He was sentenced to three years of which 18 months were suspended on condition of good behaviour.
“The court a quo erred when it convicted the appellant on the strength of the medical report which was not supplied with credible evidence.
“The magistrate erred when he convicted appellant on the basis that the complainant was injured yet he advised that there was indeed a fight between the applicant and the complainant,” he argued.
Mr Mugiya said the sentence was excessive and induced a sense of shock. He submitted that the court had erred when it committed the appellant to prison on a charge of assault on the strength of the prevalence of the offence without the benefit of the official statistics or records. The State proved that Tsuro seriously assaulted Ms Rosemary Charlie following a dispute over a residential stand.
