That it is for this reason that the defendants, who actually participated in this
sexual assault, were rightly denounced by GC, so that their designation is not
subject to any doubt.
All the more so since the defendants do not dispute that they were in the
company of their victim at the place indicated at the time of the facts;
Better still, the financial contributions that they respectively made for the
medical care of their victim attest that they are not estranged to this offense
and eliminate any doubt as to their guilt;
That their denials, in trying to insinuate that one is the victim's lover and that
the other did not participate in the aggression, cannot prosper; as well as the
futile attempts of Z.B to exonerate his co-defendant;
That from all the foregoing, it follows that their conviction by the first judges
proceeds from a good assessment of the facts of the case, so their decision
must be confirmed in all its provisions;
On Costs
Considering that the defendants were declared guilty of the criminal acts
charged against him;
That they should be ordered to pay the costs;
FOR THESE MOTIVES
Deliberating publicly, by default, on minor criminal matters and as a last
resort,
ON THE FORM

against judgment No. 460/10 rendered on 11 May, 2010 by the Daloa Criminal
Court;
ON THE MERIT
- Declares them ill-founded and dismisses them;
-
Confirms the judgment in all its provisions;
-
Orders ZI and Z.B to pay the costs.
