Summary of Case:	"In 2004, a man was sentenced to jail for 75 days for assault occasioning actual bodily harm and the wilful destruction of property. A petition was submitted for the conviction for actual bodily harm to be reviewed after a person who had previously not been involved in the case claimed to have hit the victim at the time in question. The Commission questioned this person, who admitted to hitting the victim. In addition, the medical records were obtained and these showed that the person concerned had been treated for injuries compatible with the stated course of events during the period in question. Other witness observations that had been obtained earlier in the case also supported his explanation. The prosecuting authority was told of the results of the Commission’s investigation and agreed to the petition for a new trial. The Commission felt there was new evidence that seemed likely to lead to the convicted person being acquitted of actual bodily harm, cf section 391, no. 3 of the Criminal Procedure Act. The case was referred to court for a new trial. Following a new trial, the District Court acquitted the convicted person of the charge of occasioning actual bodily harm.
