An example from an appellate case I was involved in: The victims identified the accused (defendant) as one of a group of armed marauders that attacked them. His family had a dispute with the victims’. These facts and others were considered by the trial court in convicting and sentencing him to death. On appeal it turned out that he had a very solid defence of alibi but this was wrongfully excluded at the trial. The conviction was quashed by the Court of Appeal. Here a single fact of alibi outbalanced all other facts. <br />Next, does the chart measure the effect of law on facts? For example, the law may require a court to direct or warn itself when considering a particular fact but may have no such obligation when dealing with another fact. So, will these two types of facts have different consequences in your chart? <br />Cheers.Agbejorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463215388164467136noreply@blogger.com
