夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省的公诉主任(DPP)未能推翻一项判决，该判决有利于一名恩坎德拉妇女，她被错误地判定谋杀了她的丈夫。

　　The DPP filed the leave to appeal application months after KwaZulu-Natal high court judge Rob Mossop ruled the minister of police and DPP are liable to pay Phikisile Alvina Dlamini damages for five-and-a-half years of “torment”.

　　在她的丈夫Thamsanqa Gumede自杀后，德拉米尼被拘留、起诉并被判处20年监禁。

　　这一指控最终被搁置，她成功地对非法逮捕、非法拘留和恶意起诉提起了诉讼。

　　具体数额有待进一步审判或谈判确定。

　　检方在上诉中辩称，刑事法庭的诉讼记录不应作为民事审判的证据提交。尽管这一事项的所有各方都同意它的提交。

　　“It was argued by [counsel for the DPP] that the transcript was hearsay evidence and ought to have been excluded by me and my failure to order this may be viewed by another court as a misdirection,” Mossop said.

　　“我被告知，双方达成了协议，我将把记录在笔录中的内容视为摆在我面前的证据。因此，第四被告现在几乎不可能说，我本应该无视他的律师和其他人敦促我做的事情。”
