Date of Summing Up		: 	16th of June 2016

SUMMING UP
1.	It is my duty to sum up the case to you. It is my task to ensure that the trial is conducted according to law.  As part of that, I will direct you on the law that applies in this action. You must accept the law from me and apply all directions I give you on matters of law.
2.	You are to determine the facts of the case, based on the evidence that has been placed before you during the course of the hearing. That involves deciding what evidence you accept or refuse. You will then apply the law, as I shall explain it to you, to the facts as you find them to be, and in that way arrive at your opinion. 
3.	I may comment on the facts if I think it will assist you when considering the facts. While you are bound by directions I give you as to the law, you are not obliged to accept any comment I make about the facts. Hence, it is entirely upon you to accept or disregard it unless it coincides with your own independent opinion. I say so because you are the sole judges of the facts.
4.	You all have been chosen from the community and represent a pool of common sense, knowledge and experience of the conduct of human beings in our community. Accordingly, you are required to use your experience, common sense and knowledge of the community and the human conduct in your deliberating of facts of this case. 
5.	You must reach your opinion on evidence. Evidence is what the witnesses said from the witness box, documents and other materials received as exhibits and agreed fact. This summing up, statements, arguments, questions and comments made by the counsel of the parties are not evidence. The opening address of the learned counsel of the prosecution is not evidence. The purpose of the opening address by the learned counsel for the prosecution is to outline the nature of evidence intended to be put before you.  The closing addresses of the counsel of the prosecution and the accused are not evidence either. They are their arguments, which you may properly take into account when you evaluate the evidence, but the extent to which you do so is entirely a matter for you.
6.	If you heard, or read, or otherwise learned anything about this case outside of this courtroom, you must exclude that information or opinions from your consideration. You must have regard only to the testimony, agreed facts and the exhibits put before you in this courtroom during the course of this trial. Ensure that no external influence plays a part in your deliberation.
7.	As judges of facts you are allowed to talk, discuss and deliberate facts of this case only among yourselves. However, each one of you must reach your own conclusion or form your own opinion.  You are required to give merely your opinion but not the reasons for your opinion.  Your opinion need not be unanimous. I must advice you that I am not bound by your opinion, but I assure you that your opinion will assist me in reaching my judgment. 
8.	Moreover, I must caution you that you should dismiss all emotions of sympathy or prejudice, whether it is sympathy for or prejudice against the accused or anyone else. No such emotion has any part to play in your decision, nor should you allow public opinion to influence you.  You must approach your duty dispassionately; deciding the facts solely upon the whole of the evidence. It is your duty as judges of facts to decide the legal culpability as set down by law and not the emotional or moral culpability of the action.
9.	Matters which will concern you are the credibility of the witnesses, and the reliability of their evidence. It is for you to decide whether you accept the whole of what a witness says, or only part of it, or none of it. You may accept or reject such parts of the evidence as you think fit. It is for you to judge whether a witness is telling the truth and is correctly recalling the facts about which he or she has testified. 
10.	In assessing evidence of the witnesses, you must consider whether the witness had the opportunity to see, hear and or feel what the witness is talking in the evidence. You then should consider whether the evidence presented by the witness is probable or improbable considering the circumstances of the case.  Apart from that you are required to consider the consistency of the witness not only with his own evidence but also with other evidence presented in the case.
11.	It is your duty as judges of facts to consider the demeanor of the witnesses, how they react to being cross examined and re-examined, where they evasive, in order to decide the credibility of the witness and the evidence. Moreover, you have to consider the knowledge of the witness on the facts that he testifying, his disinterestedness, his integrity, and his veracity in order to determine the credibility of the witness and his evidence.
Burden and Standard of Proof 
12.	I now draw your attention to the issue of burden and standard of proof. The two accused persons  are presumed to be innocent until they are proven guilty. The presumption of innocence is in force until you form your own opinion that the two accused persons are guilty for the offence. 
13.	The burden of proof of the charge against the two accused person are on the prosecution.  It is because the accused persons are presumed to be innocent until they are proven guilty.  Accordingly, the burden of proof rest on the prosecution throughout the trial and it never shifts to the accused person.  In other words there is no burden on the accused person to prove his innocence, as his innocence is presumed by law. 
14.	The standard of proof in criminal trial is “proof beyond reasonable doubt”. It means that you must be satisfied in your mind that you are sure of the accused person’s guilt.  If there is a riddle in your mind as to the guilt of the accused person after deliberating facts based on the evidence presented, that means the prosecution has failed to satisfy you the guilt of the accused person beyond reasonable doubt. If you found any reasonable doubt as to the commission of the offence as charged or any other offence by the accused, such doubt should always be given in favour of the accused person.
Information 
15.	The first and second accused persons are charged with one count of Aggravated Robbery contrary to Section 311 (1) (a) and (b) of the Crimes Decree. The particulars of the offence are before you. Hence, I do not wish to reproduce it in my summing up. 
16.	The Prosecution alleges that the two accused persons in company with each other have robbed Mr. Sachinda Anand Pillay on the 1st of February 2010. The two accused persons deny the allegation and claim that they were at their respective residences during the time that was material for this alleged crime. 
17.	Section 311 (1) (a) of the Crimes Decree states that; 
A person commits an indictable offence if he or she — 
a)	 commits a robbery in company with one or more other persons; or
18.	The robbery is an aggravated form of theft. If the accused person used any form of force on a person or threatened to use such force either immediately before the committing the offence of theft or with intent to escape from the scene, then he commits an offence of robbery. If the accused person commits such robbery in company with one or more other persons, then such act constitutes the offence of Aggravated Robbery. Hence, the main elements of the offence as charged in the information are that; 
i)	The two accused persons, 
ii)	In company with each other, 
iii)	Steal the items from Mr. Pillay as stated in the information,  
iv)	used or threatened to use any force on Mr. Pillay before committing the offence of theft or with intent to escape from the scene, 
19.	The prosecution alleges that the two accused person committed this offence in joint enterprise. If two or more people form a common intention to execute an unlawful purpose in conjunction with one another and in execution of such purpose an offence is committed in a nature that its commission was a probable consequence of the execution of the said unlawful purpose, each of them is deemed to have committed the offence. Those who commit crime together may play different parts to achieve their purpose. The prosecution must prove that each defendant took some part. The essence of joint responsibility for a criminal offence is that each accused persons shared a common intention to commit the offence and played his part in it [however great or small] so as to achieve that aim.

20.	Let me now remind you the evidence presented by the prosecution and the defence during the course of the hearing.

He further said that he forgot to complain to the magistrate about the assault by the police. He was not aware of the recharge cards that were found in the van. He said he did not commit this crime. 
52.	I have summarised the evidence presented during the cause of this hearing. However, I might have missed some. It is not because they are not important. You have heard every items of evidence and reminded yourselves of all of them. What I did only to draw your attention to the main items of evidence and help you in reminding yourselves of the evidence. 
Analyses 
53.	The prosecution case is mainly founded on the confessions made by the two accused persons in their respective caution interviews. The prosecution tendered the caution interviews of the first and second accused persons in evidence as prosecution’s exhibits. The first accused person disputes the confession in his caution statement stating that he was assaulted and forced to sign on the caution interview that was written by the police. Hence, he alleges that the confession in his caution interview is a fabrication and not true. He further alleges that he was interrogated by DC Avinesh and DC Kaliova without cautioning him prior to the recording of his caution interview. During the said interrogation he was assaulted by these two officers. The defence further alleges that the first and second accused persons were never taken to reconstruction of the scene of the crime as there is no record in the station diary about their movements or anything about the respective caution interviews. 
54.	The second accused person claims that he was assaulted during the arrest on the 14th of February 2010. He was then assaulted and forced to admit the offence during the caution interview. Hence, the second accused person alleges that his admission to the offence was due to assault and force inflicted on him by the police. D/Sgt Timoci in his evidence stated that the second accused had denied the allegation in question number 26 and 54 of the caution interview. However, on the second day of the caution interview, the second accused has changed his denial and admitted that he committed this offence. 
55.	Meanwhile, the prosecution states that the two accused persons were not assaulted, threatened or forced to admit in their respective caution interviews. They made their respective admission voluntarily. To prove it, the prosecution presented the evidence of DC Avinesh, DC Timoci, D/Sgt Timoci, and DC Kaliova. 
56.	In order to determine whether you can safely reply upon the admissions of the two accused persons, you must decide two issues, 
57.	Firstly, did the first and second accused persons in fact make the admissions? Having considered the evidence presented during the course of the hearing, if you are not satisfied or not sure of that the two accused persons or one of them have actually made the confessions in their respective caution interviews, you must ignore either the both or the one that you are not sure or not satisfied. Secondly, If you are satisfied, that the two accused persons or one of them have given their respective caution interviews and they have done that without any pressure, then it is for you to decide whether the contents on the caution interviews are truthful, and what weight you give them as evidence. It is for you to decide whether you consider the whole of the caution interview or part of it or none of it as truthful and credible. You must consider all other evidence adduced during the course of the hearing in deciding the truthfulness and the reliability of the confessions and it acceptability. 
58.	The caution interview of an accused person are only admissible against the maker of the statements. What the first accused person said in his caution statements is evidence against him only. If the first accused has implicated or mentioned about the second accused person in his caution statements, that is not evidence against the second accused person. The same principle applies in respect of the caution interview of the second accused person. When you come to consider the case against the one particular accused, you must disregard everything he said in his caution statements against other accused person. The caution statements of the accused person can only be used against him. 
59.	Mr. Pillay in his evidence did not explain the description of the two person who came and robbed him. No explanation given by him in his evidence why he could not provide any description of that two persons. DC Avinesh stated in his evidence that no identification parade was conducted as the two accused person have already admitted the offence in their respective caution interviews. The prosecution did not provide the recharge cards that they claimed as found in the possession of the second accused person in evidence. Mr. Nair in his evidence stated that he was called to the police to verify some stolen recharge cards. However, DC Avinesh in his evidence stated that only the first accused person was shown the recharge cards and no one else. 
60.	Both DC Avinesh and D/Sgt Timoci stated that everything taking place in the police station are required to record in the Station Diary.  They both stated that the movements of the two accused persons and the conduct of their respective caution interviews have not been recorded in the station diary. You must consider these evidence together with the evidence of the interviewing officers, arresting officer and the evidence of accused persons in order to determine whether you can safely rely on the respective caution interviews of the two accused persons. 
61.	You must consider the case of each accused persons separately. It is open for you to conclude that your verdicts should be the same in each case but it does not require that they have to be. Provided that, if you are sure that this alleged offence was committed by more than one person and you are sure that one of the accused persons actually took some part in that offence and you are not sure about the other accused, you are then allowed to find only the person whom you found that took part in committing the offence is guilty.  
62.	You heard the evidence presented by the two accused persons, where they denied this allegation. If you accepted the versions of the two accused persons as reliable and truthful, or it creates a reasonable doubt in your mind about the prosecution case, though you neither believe nor disbelieve their versions, then the case of the prosecution fails.  You must then acquit the both accused persons from this charge.
63.	Even if you reject the version of the two accused persons that does not mean that the prosecution has established that the accused persons are guilty for this offence. Still you have to satisfy that the prosecution has established on its own evidence beyond reasonable doubt that the accused persons have committed this offence as charged in the information. 
64.	Upon consideration of all evidence, if you believe that the count of aggravated robbery is proved beyond reasonable doubt, you can find the accused persons are guilty of the charge.  If you believe that the charge is not proved beyond reasonable doubt, then you must find the accused persons are not guilty.
65.	Madam and gentleman assessors, I now conclude my summing up.  It is time for you to retire and deliberate in order to form your individual opinions on the charge against the accused person.  You will be asked individually for your opinion and are not required to give reasons for your opinion.  Once you have reached your opinion, you may please inform the clerks, so that the court could be reconvened.   
66.	Learned counsel of the prosecution and the accused, do you have any redirections to the assessors?
