Prosecution withdraws appeal against Norman Chisale acquittal



By Burnett Munthali

In a recent development, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has decided to withdraw its appeal concerning the acquittal of Norman Chisale. Chisale, who faced charges in the Lilongwe Principal Resident Magistrate Court, was cleared of all allegations by the court.

The DPP’s decision to withdraw the appeal marks the end of a significant legal battle surrounding Chisale’s case. The court’s earlier ruling, which acquitted Chisale, had been contested by the DPP, but recent decisions indicate a change in the prosecutorial strategy.

This move has drawn considerable attention, as it effectively closes the chapter on the legal proceedings against Chisale. The case had been closely watched, and the withdrawal of the appeal signifies a pivotal moment in the ongoing judicial processes.

Further details on the reasons behind the DPP’s decision to withdraw the appeal have yet to be fully disclosed, but the resolution of the case brings clarity to Chisale’s legal standing and concludes this particular episode of the legal process.
