Kuwaiti man acquitted of raping young woman

KUWAIT CITY, Feb 17: The Criminal Court has acquitted a Kuwaiti man of raping a young woman.

According to the defendant’s lawyer, his client was in a relationship with the woman but she fabricated the case because his client tried to break up with her after finding out that she had relationships with other men while they were still together.
He also argued in court that the Forensics Department did not find any evidence that implicates his client. After hearing the arguments of the lawyers of both parties, the court declared the innocence of the Kuwaiti due to lack of evidence.

Ethiopian out: The Court of Appeals recently acquitted an Ethiopian of smuggling forged Kuwaiti dinar bills and official stamps. Case files indicate the Ethiopian was arrested with the forged items in his possession. However, his lawyer argued in court that the pieces of evidence presented by the arresting officer are not enough to incriminate his client. He also pointed out the fact that his client’s fingerprints were not found on the confiscated counterfeit dinar bills and stamps. The court ruled in favor of the Ethiopian and affirmed his innocence.
