Four juveniles
acquitted of assault, theft
KUWAIT CITY, April 9: The Court of Appeals presided over by Judge Anwar
Al-Enezi has overturned the verdict issued by the Court of First Instance, which
sentenced four juveniles to one-year imprisonment with hard labor for attacking
one of their friends and robbing him of his possessions in the parking lot of a
commercial complex. The court instead acquitted them of all charges. According
to the case files, the victim met the suspects in the parking lot, where they
punched and kicked him and used knives against him. After subduing him, they
took his mobile phone, credit cards and drivers’ license, after which they ran
away. The victim was taken to a nearby hospital where he received a medical
report, indicating the injuries he incurred due to the assault. According to the
testimony of the in-charge officer, covert investigations revealed that the
suspects assaulted the victim and injured him. The suspects confessed to the
crime after they were arrested and interrogated. Lawyer In’am Haydar, who was
representing one of the defendants, affirmed that the case lacked substantial
evidences to support the allegations the victim made against her clients. She
indicated that the victim refused to disclose the identity of the passerby who
reported the incident in order to obtain the full account of the incident. She
also revealed that none of the reported stolen items was found with the
suspects.
Wife assaulted: The Misdemeanor Court acquitted a man of beating his wife and causing her injuries. According to the case file, the wife filed a report against the husband whom she accused of coming to their house in Al-Qurain area and asking for the civil ID and passport of their daughter, and when she declined to answer the husband, he punched her seven times and kicked her with the leg. He is also alleged to have pushed the woman to the floor and she lost consciousness as a result. Medical report confirmed bruises the woman sustained in different parts of the body with additional scratches on the left arm. However, the suspect denied the accusation in the presence of his attorney Mohammed Al-Qattan, and said the wife wanted to sue him for divorce, but he loves her and does not want to divorce her. Al-Qattan implored the court to acquit his client of all accusations against him, because the man has conflict with his wife and the woman wants divorce, but his client wants to keep the family together. The court regarded the accusation as not enough to indict the defendant, and ruled out the medical report.
Let's see here, the husband beat the hell out of his wife and he gets acquitted because "he loves her and doesn't want a divorce?" WTH is going on?

These juveniles are really out of control. I'm pretty sure you have some idea how unruly these kids are especially in the bus.
ReplyDeleteThey smoke, they make too much noise, running, pushing people in the aisle, & sometimes even hit other passengers, especially females.
Not just in busses, but also school boys who goes to school but never actually attend classes.
They just hang around bakalas, smoking or victimizing other people by chasing them or thowing things at whoever they please.
If we report these to a police station, they will just shrug off & tell us they're just kids.
"Just kids", my butt!
Our flat is just across Khalifa Talal school in Fahaheel, my wife & sister got chased by these school boys who want to harrass them.
They were fortunate enough to get in the lifts in time before these shababs actually got them. Had they caught my wife & sister, I shudder to think what they would've done to them.
Unfortunately, there was one time where a shabab tried to touch my wife's breast. When she avoided & told them off, one of them actually spat my wife in the face!
Forgive my bluntness but I wish a daughter, sister or any female family member of any ministry official would get harrassed by these juveniles so they'll know exactly how expats feel to be told off that these are "just kids" & leave them be!
