APPELLANT VERSUS REPUBLIC ……………………………………………………………. RESPONDENT JUDGMENT The evidence of PW3 who is the sister of the appellant proved that the appellant committed arson as charged against him in broad daylight and in her presence. So conviction was safe and the appeal against it is dismissed. But since there was a domestic quarrel and the appellant was said to be drunk at the time of commission of the offence coupled with the fact he was a first offender I reduce the sentence to 3 years imprisonment. It is ordered accordingly. Dated and delivered on the 23/5/2003. I.C.C. WAMBILYANGAH JUDGE
