Republic vs Maria Lamoni (Criminal Sessions Case No. 87 of 1980) [1981] TZHC 2414 (2 December 1981)
Medical and scene evidence negated a motor accident but prosecution inconsistencies left reasonable doubt; accused acquitted.
* Criminal law – Murder – Whether death caused by motor-vehicle accident or homicidal assault – Role of post-mortem and scene evidence. * Evidence – Reliability – Material delays, omissions and contradictions in eyewitness testimony; failure to call a potentially important witness. * Principle – Suspicion alone insufficient for conviction; prosecution must prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
