Public Prosecution Charged The Woman With Consuming Alcohol At A Public Place In Salhiya
The Court of Appeals, presided over by Judge Rajeeb Al-Rajeeb, acquitted a female expatriate of drinking alcohol in public as it overturned the verdict of a lower court that sentenced her in absentia to one month in prison and deportation. The ruling was issued although the legal period of 20 days to appeal expired one year ago.
The Public Prosecution charged the woman with consuming alcohol at a public place in Salhiya. Her lawyer, Attorney Hanaa Bojarwa, presented substantial evidence that her client is qualified to appeal even after a year since the legal period to appeal ended. Bojarwa argued that the former lawyer failed to notify the client on the absentia ruling against her. She then presented documents to the court, including a copy of the complaint that her client filed against her former lawyer, accusing him of negligence and miscarriage of justice due to the manner he handled the case. This is in addition to the fact that no traces of alcohol were found in her client’s blood as per the medical report, so the verbal testimony of the arresting police and technical evidence presented by the Criminal Department were contradictory.
