English translation of the principle

The trial court's doubt as to the validity of attributing the charge to the accused suffices for an acquittal whenever it has comprehensively and discerningly considered the case, weighed the inculpatory and exculpatory evidence, and based its ruling on reasons supporting it. - The judgment's finding that the report transcribing the recording tape contains nothing indicating a request for a bribe has its source and basis in the papers. The Public Prosecution's objection to it in this regard. Incorrect.
Arabic original
كفاية تشكك محكمة الموضوع في صحة إسناد التهمة إلى المتهم للقضاء بالبراءة متى أحاطت بالدعوى عن بصر وبصيرة ووازنت بين أدلة الثبوت والنفي وأقامت قضاءها على أسباب تحمله. - تحصيل الحكم خلو تقرير تفريغ شريط التسجيل مما يفيد طلب الرشوة له أصله ومعينه في الأوراق. نعي النيابة عليه في هذا الشأن. غير صحيح.
