interrogation, the accused acknowledged the sexual intercourse with the victim, but defended himself by saying that the victim came to him in his house and asked him to “use” her. Having reviewed the proceedings of the case, I see that the conviction is correct. The court, in its punishment memorandum, stated that it wouldn’t decide the death penalty, as the accused was under age and with no criminal record, and that is why it only ruled life imprisonment and a fine. I agree with the Court of First Instance and uphold the sentence of life imprisonment to the convict.
