entirety, set aside the sentence of thirty (30) years imprisonment imposed by the High Court and restored that of life imprisonment meted out by the District Court. B. Alleged Violations 7. The Applicants allege that: i. They are aggrieved by the Court of Appeal’s verdict as they had no opportunity to appeal when it dismissed their appeal and substituted the sentence of thirty (30) years with life imprisonment; ii. The trial court convicted them based on evidence which had doubts and contradictions wherein there were misdirection and non-directions; iii. The trial court erred in accepting evidence of identification for nondirection on silent conditions regarding proper identification; iv. The Court of Appeal erred in considering evidence of the prosecution while there was reasonable doubt which could have been resolved in favour of the Applicants; and v. The errors condoned by the Court of Appeal were contrary to the law and resulted in a miscarriage of justice. Thus, the verdict of the court violated the Applicants’ fundamental rights and Article 3(1) and (2) of the Charter. III. SUMMARY OF THE PROCEDURE BEFORE THE COURT 8.
