Adventure With Aunty Caro (18+)part 32 by dankuruso: 8:52pm On Jun 05, 2016 |
That one week was the most anticipated one of my
life, i started
fasting and praying to God for his favour on this
case because
with the evidence at hand, it might go either way.
My parent and
everybody close to me were not excluded; in fact
my parent told
me they have been visiting different pastors and
Alfa for prayers.
Judgement day was finally here, we all arrived at
the court as
early as 10am, court proceeding started around
11am. After
listening to final submission, the judge finally come
out with the
ruling and sentenced me to eleven years
imprisonment for man
slaughter.
His submission was that even though there might
be an iota of
truth that i wasn’t the one that killed my wife and
there are some
people out there after my life and my wife’s own,
my defence
failed to proof beyond reasonable doubt that i was
not the one
that killed my wife and for the fact that my finger
print was the
one on the knife found as exhibit.
He posited that the prosecuting counsel was more
convincing
because they established that there was actually a
feud between
me and my wife and the fact that our call log that
day shows that
we had a conversation like argument which i later
ended the call
abruptly. Evidence shows that i had something with
he person
we are kidnapped together which i didn’t deny too.
Based on the submission of both counsel, the judge
found me
guilty of man slaughter rather than murder because
its very
possible that the stabbing was a mistake maybe
during the
process of trying to safe myself. He advised that
my case will
serve as a lesson to young married couples to
learn how to
manage differences in amicable ways as crimes
doesn’t pay.
As my parent were crying so were Biola’s parent
raised curse on
me, they was jubilation that finally justice has been
served on
me, they called me all sort of names that i couldn’t
remember. It
was a sad event watching my father shed tears for
the first time,
i couldn’t imagine the sort of torture have put my
parent through
over the past one year, from one trouble to the
other all because
adultery, all because of 5minutes enjoyment, all
because i wanted
to chance a lady i met on the road and thought i
could do hit and
run on.
After the conviction, i discussed with my lawyer if
there would
be a case for appeal which he told me was a two
way thing, he
said it will be a bit dicey, if i win the appeal, the
judge might set
me free or might reduce my sentence. We will lay
claim to the
fact that since it wasn’t intentional they should give
me leniency
as have never committed a crime before.
The sad aspect of it will be if the appeal didn’t go
our way, the
judge might confirm the sentence or even add
more to it with
the claim that the judge were too lenient with me.
He explained to
me that its a risky venture that its all depend on me
if i wish to
pursue it or spend 11 years which might not be
more than 8
years in our normal calendar year. I gave him the
go ahead to
appeal and let us risk the outcome.
Days are becoming weeks, weeks turning into
months, have
already spent more than 6 months in the prison
after my
sentence, life in the prison was another thing
entirely which i
don’t want to talk about for now. I was so happy
when they
brought the news to me that my appeal date has
been fixed, it
was a month and half to the day they told me and i
was
seriously looking forward to it.
I had an unusual visitor this lovely Saturday; i was
in my cell
soliloquizing about how my life has been for the
past 2 years
when suddenly the warder called me that i had a
visitor waiting
for me, i followed him to the visitors room where i
saw
someone in small hijab, they told me she was the
person asking
of me, i couldn’t picture the face from far until i
moved closer and
realized it was Simbiat
