Defence Counsel: My Lord, the last seen theory alone is insufficient. The accused’s injuries

Prosecution Counsel (examining witness): What did you observe? Witness: I saw the deceased
emerge from the room injured and distressed, with no one else present.

Defence Counsel (cross-examining): You did not witness the act itself, correct? Witness: Yes.
Defence Counsel: So you cannot confirm who caused the injury. Judge: Noted.

Client (Accused): My Lord, I did not harm the deceased. There was an argument, but I was also
injured.

Prosecution Counsel: You admit presence and argument. Do you deny involvement? Client: Yes.
Judge: Recorded.

Judge: Defence, explain how accused injuries support your case. Defence Counsel: It shows a
struggle and creates reasonable doubt.

prosecution must establish a complete chain leading only to guilt. Any reasonable doubt must
benefit the accused.
