M. Obiero, Principal Magistrate) RULING 1. ODUMA OBATA was convicted and sentenced to serve 10 years imprisonment for the offence of rape. He now seeks for sentence revision. There are no extreme mitigating circumstances that would persuade this court to revise sentence in such a heinous crime. This is a serious offence that does not call for sentence revision. 2. Proceedings were regular and sentence meted out was lawful. If the convict had any issues with the conviction and or sentence he should have appealed. 3. I decline and dismiss the application for sentence revision. 4. Orders accordingly. Dated, signed and Delivered at Siaya, this 20th Day of March, 2020. R.E. ABURILI, JUDGE
