Sabrudeen Kamrudeen v. Hon. Attorney General – SC APPEAL NO. 90/2013-2019

In the case between the Hon. Attorney General and Sabrudeen Kamrudeen, the court considered whether discrepancies in the weight measurement and packaging description of alleged heroin, as well as certain procedural and evidentiary issues, undermined the defendant’s convictions under drug possession charges. It was held that the findings by the trial judge and the affirmation by the Court of Appeal were sufficiently supported by the evidence, and the raised discrepancies did not materially impact the outcome. The principle reaffirmed is that minor inconsistencies in evidence, including variations in measurement and recollection, do not automatically vitiate criminal convictions where the prosecution has otherwise established the essential elements of the offence beyond reasonable doubt.
