Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1349

Assessment of the evidence in respect of each accused. Within the trial court's authority. It may form its conviction according to its assessment of the evidence. Its satisfaction with it in respect of one accused and lack of satisfaction with it in respect of another accused. This does not constitute a contradiction vitiating the judgment. Reason therefor. - The challenged judgment's conviction of the appellant because the court was satisfied as to the seizure of some stolen items at his residence and his admission to the officer that he committed the theft. This does not contradict its acquittal of the third accused of the charge of concealing items obtained from a theft, because it was not satisfied with the appellant's admission to the officer that he had given the accused woman some stolen items to conceal, her denial thereof, and the failure to seize any stolen items in her possession. A challenge on that basis. Incorrect.
