requisite elements in proof of all the seven (7) counts charge proffered against
defendant.
In the final analysis and for the avoidance of doubt, the judgment of the court is
that the prosecution has succeeded in proving the charge laid against the defendant
in this proceedings and accordingly I hereby find and pronounce defendant guilty
as charged on all seven (7) Counts. With the conviction of defendant, the matter
logically ought to proceed to sentencing but since the defendant is not available,
the court must have recourse to Section 352 (4) and (5) of the Administration of
Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015 and reserve his sentence until the defendant is
arrested or he surrenders himself to the custody of the court.
