A "no case to answer" submission happens when the defense argues the prosecution's evidence is too weak to prove a crime, allowing the judge to dismiss the charges and acquit the defendant without a defense. [1, 2, 3]

Key Case Law

  • R v Galbraith [1981] 1 WLR 1039
    • The Rule: This is the landmark case that set the standard two-limb test used across common law jurisdictions.
    • The Test: The judge must uphold a "no case" submission if (1) there is no evidence the defendant committed the crime at all, or (2) the evidence is so weak, vague, or inconsistent that no fair-minded jury could ever convict on it. [1, 2, 3]
  • Prosecutor v. Laurent Gbagbo and Charles Blé Goudé (International Criminal Court, 2019)
    • The Rule: An example of a high-profile international tribunal upholding a "no case to answer" motion.
    • The Outcome: The Trial Chamber granted the defense motion by majority decision and acquitted the defendants at the close of the prosecution's case due to a failure to meet the necessary evidentiary burden. [1, 2]
  • Ibeziako v. Commissioner of Police (1963) 1 All NLR 61
    • The Rule: A foundational decision in West African Commonwealth jurisprudence defining the scope of a no-case submission.
The Principle: Confirmed that a submission of no case means that even if the prosecution's evidence is fully believed by the court, it does not legally disclose any essential elements of the offense to warrant a conviction.
 
The government has acted foolishly and completely embarrassed itself in this ridiculous and senseless case one of the most absurd cases ever to occur in the world.

The DPP is an absolute fool, while CCM are nothing but idiots and madmen.

Maybe ni shinikizo hizo za kimataifa ndio zinaleteleza haya. No case to answer
 
Kwa kesi hii, ili kuepuka aibu na fedheha ya no case to answer, DPP, atashuka na nolle, https://www.jamiiforums.com/threads...interest-kuendelea-na-kesi-ya-uhaini.2352566/

Na kama akitumia Nolle procequi .
inampa nafasi tena ya kufungua case hiyo hiyo na kuongeza ushahidi na kuisuka kesi upya kuanzia Mwanzo.

Na kesi ikapangiwa Mahakimu wengine na kuanza upyaaa kusikilizwa.

Ila akisubiri Hukumu ya Mahakama . Basi DPP hawez tena kumfungulia mashtaka kama hayo. Maana Tayar Mahakama imeshatoa hukumu.

Labda hizi siku 4 ni namna Serikali imepewa ijitafakari nini inataka kabla mahakimu hawajagonga nyundo zao.

Pia kwa upande mwingine.
Kama Mahakimu wakaamua No case to answer. Itakuwa ni hatua kubwa kwa mahakama yetu. Maana watakuwa hawajaingiliwa na Siasa za nchi.
Kwasababu ni dhahiri. Vielelezo walivyotoa hawakuvisuka vizuri kisheria ili kukidhi kumtia hatiani.

Licha ya DPP kuna mwanasheria mkuu wa serikali huyu alisema lazima watafute vipengele vya kumbambikizia yule mdada wa kwa Trump, kwa hiyo akili kweli hawa watamuweza Lissu kweli kama mahakama zetu zitaongozwa kwa misingi ya sheria.

Hii tume ya Pili ikija na orodha ya watu waliohamasisha vurugu za Mo29 na jina lake likawepo.

DPP anafungua kesi na kuwasilisha ushahidi wa maandishi na Video kadhaa. Na mahakama ikamtia hatiani .
Akatangazwa ana kesi ya Uhaini.

sheria za Makosa ya Kimtandao zinasema hata kama umefanya ukiwa nje ya nchi. Kama madhara yametokea TZ. Basi una kesi ya Kujibu.

Je, mtuhumiwa hana fursa ya kukataa hiyo na kuomba hukumu stahiki isomwe?
Nolle ikisemwa hakuna kupinga.
Maana aliyekushtaki ndio kaondoa mashtaka.

Ndio maana unaweza kufutiwa kesi . Askari Magereza wakakuachia. Alaf ukatoka nje ya mahakama, na Polisi wakakukamata wakakupeleka mahabusu zao na kukufungulia kesi nyingne.

Haya mashtaka sio ombi lako. Ni ww ni mshtakiwa.

Majaji na upande wa mashitaka wanakaa kikao cha jinsi ya kuimaliza kesi utafikiri kikao cha familia kupanga mirathi ya marehemu. Tuna mahakama za kipumbavu sana hii kesi haikutakiwa hata kusajiliwa.
