Kirby Blasts Justice Solomon

In a judgement handed down on Friday, in a case in which a former police officer Abram Morotsi was appealing his corruption conviction by a Maun magistrate, Kirby has not spared Justice Solomon for the manner in which she handled a ‘leave to appeal’ application by Morotsi.

Solomon was the judge in the matter in which two police constables convicted for corruption, had appealed to the High Court seeking the court to reconsider the ruling passed by the Principal Magistrate in Maun. Upon hearing the appeal, Solomon dismissed it and endorsed the reasoning and findings of the trial magistrate. However, Morotsi then applied alone for leave to appeal further to the CoA.
