Acquitted and freed? Totally ridiculous.

Flier:
Its possible if they can find a new evidence against him

Flier:
That is probably the reason but Nigerians won’t stop crying foul play

Mrsheff:
Court has turned to shop where buying and selling is allowed.. Perhaps the suspects is influential be that. Don't be surprise if Evan is walking freely on the street...Naija my country everywhere is corruption..

APCHaram:


No. An acquittal means he has been exonerated from her murder.

Every other person on earth can be indicted but not him.

fabienjoe:


No. He can't be rearraigned in the same court on the same evidence that was not enough to convict him but he can be rearraigned on fresh evidence linking him to the crime. There could be an appeal in a higher court on same evidence if the prosecution believes the lower court erred. However, this particular case is dead on arrival. The DPP could not find sufficient evidence for the trial. It could be the police did a shoddy job or that the suspect was actually innocent. But then, this being Nigeria, money may have exchanged hands.

Who would believe that Umar Abmutalab is serving his 10th year in prison in the US already.

Remember him? The underwear bomber who almost blew a US plane in 2009.

Yeah, he is serving 4 lifetime sentences and he is already on his 10th year.

Alas, that's not the case for Nigeria. Remember Evans, the billionaire kidnapper, his case is over 2 years old and the court are yet to decide whether to make a decision or not.

That's the difference between the Western world and the third world country.. Quick dispensation of Justice. It would deter almost anyone who stand to gain anything in corruption but here that is only applicable to the poor...

In this country, the innocent suffers more while the notorious criminals are always set free. The people who handed him over to the police are now in problem.

I know the boy though and according to the story he told me, no case to answer truly because there was no concrete evidence he killed the girl

WriterX:


it might be hard even with evidence , once acquited Bern indicted for that same crime a second time is extremely hard and rare in the US the second trial demands evidences beyond any sort of reasonable doubt in the court of law before they can agree to a second trail and if deemed might go with a jury to decide the verdict .

in other words it is very difficult to get a retrial

Venerable612:


From the story - he was not tried at all!

He was only placed on remand pending the advice of the DPP. So nothing like retrial here... if the police were to get enough evidence - he will be formally charged to court. He was released because the police could not make up a case to warrant prosecution.

In any case, I doubt there can be any evidence l. In the West, an autopsy will be conducted to find if there are semens in her body and whose semens. But I doubt wehave the kind of technology to detect such... and even if we do, there is no database for the citizens so nothing to crosschefk the semens with. No CCTV, and I am not sure they saw the murder weapon; even if they do, no database to crosscheck the finger prints with.

Nigeria is messed up. There’s no justice anywhere
