Court Acquitted 3 Kuwaiti Citizens Who Were Accused Of Possessing Drugs
The Court of Appeals upheld the verdict issued by the Court of First Instance which acquitted three Kuwaiti citizens who were accused of possessing drugs and driving a car under narcotic infl uence. According to the case file, a police officer was on his routine duty in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh area when he suspected a car with three occupants and ordered the driver to pull over. He checked the documents of the driver to discover he is a Kuwaiti citizen and his license was expired. Sensing his disoriented state, the officer checked him to find drugs. He also checked the other two passengers to discover they were also in possession of drugs. The driver and one of the passengers were arrested but the other passenger managed to escape. The two suspects were referred to the concerned authorities with the confiscated drugs. The defense counsel of the first suspect, Lawyer Dalal Al-Mutairi, said the account of the police officer included contradictions, requesting the court to summon him for questioning. The court then summoned him and also figured out the contradictions in his account. Lawyer Al-Mutairi insisted that the search-and-arrest procedures conducted on her client were not legal because he was not caught red-handed, requesting the court to acquit her client. The court responded to her request and acquitted her client as well as the other two defendants.
