From:   www.ap.org
Prosecutors want to prevent a top aide to Zimbabwe's prime minister from arguing that evidence against him in a weapons trial was obtained through torture. Roy Bennett's trial, which has strained Zimbabwe's coalition government, opened Monday with the attorney general asking the judge to bar a defense argument. Bennett's lawyers say the weapons dealer who is the main prosecution witness was not only tortured, but did not implicate Bennett during his own trial. The weapons dealer was arrested in 2006 and initially accused of plotting to assassinate longtime President Robert Mugabe. Bennett had not been linked to the case until his arrest in February. ...

Zimbabwe lawmaker acquitted of stealing phone

From:   www.afp.com
A Zimbabwean lawmaker from Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's party has been cleared of charges of stealing a mobile phone, state media said Tuesday. Lawmaker Thamsanga Mahlangu, who is also deputy minister for youth, had been accused of stealing the phone belonging to a war veteran, but a judge ruled that the evidence did not support the charge. "The state failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt," magistrate Kudakwashe Jarabini was quoted as saying by state-run Herald. "The court finds them not guilty hence the accused persons are entitled to an acquittal." Jarabini said the state's case was riddled with inconsistencies, with witnesses contradicting ...
