AMOS FLOMO, Appellant, v. REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA, Appellee.

JUDGMENT WITHOUT OPINION

Heard June 30, 1986. Decided August 1, 1986.

When this case was called for argument, Counsellors George Sherman and Ceapar A. Mabande appeared for the appellant and the Solicitor General of the Republic of Liberia, Counsellor MacDonald J. Krakue, appeared for the appellee. Appellee’s counsel filed a submission to the effect that after having carefully read the record in the case, he has concluded from the evidence adduced at the trial in the court below that malice, which is the essential element of the crime of murder, was not established, and also that the evidence could not support the verdict of the trial jury and, therefore, requested the Court to negate the sentence of murder to that of manslaughter. Counsel for appellant interposed no objection to the submission of counsel for the appellee. After carefully studying the submission and the law applicable under the circumstances, it is hereby adjudged that the submission to negate the sentence of murder to that of manslaughter be and the same is hereby granted.

The Clerk of this Court is hereby ordered to send a mandate to the court below commanding the judge presiding therein to resume jurisdiction and give effect to this judgment.
