PUTRAJAYA, April 11 — A three-judge panel at the Court of Appeal today unanimously ruled to overturn Sam Ke Ting’s conviction for reckless driving that resulted in the deaths of eight boys who were riding illegally modified bicycles seven years ago.
“You are now a free person,” Hadhariah told Sam when announcing the judgement at the Palace of Justice here.Today's hearing marks the final avenue for the case to be heard, as this case started in the Magistrate's Court — meaning it cannot be appealed further to the Federal Court after a Court of Appeal decision.
The judges today ruled that Sam's appeal against the High Court's decision should be allowed, as she had been found guilty under a defective charge. “Thus the charge brought by the prosecution has violated the provisions of Section 163 of the Criminal Procedure Code ,” said Hadhariah.
