Appeal the acquittal verdict in Roula Yacoub case

After the Criminal Court of the North acquitted on Wednesday Karam Bazi of the crime of causing his wife’s death (https://goo.gl/juYkbG), Attorney General Samir Hamud asked Appellate Attorney General of the North, Judge Nabil Wehbe, to challenge the verdict before the court of cassation. On the subject, Al Akhbar cited a number of lawyers following up the case as saying that the ruling is the answer to the frequently asked question, “why are crimes against women not abating?” The answer is in the facts, particularly in the section of assessment of medical evidence. The court argued that the bruises on the victim’s body are not related to her death, while voicing contempt of the conduct of a husband who commits this form of assault against his wife!.
