Kurt P. Kerns won an acquittal for his client, Dick Prudence Munyeshuli, in an international criminal tribunal in Arusha, Tanzania. As described in the judgment here, his client was charged with contempt for allegedly improperly revealing the identities of protected witnesses and having improper conduct with protected witnesses in a previous international criminal prosecution. The judge found that although Mr. Munyeshuli had some culpability, the prosecution had not proved its case:
The evidence presented by the Defence reflects that Mr. Munyeshuli’s Lead Counsel, Mr. Peter Robinson, instructed him to commit the violation at the heart of this charge. Mr. Munyeshuli deserves a warning for his conduct in these circumstances and not a criminal conviction. I am entering a finding of NOT GUILTY for Mr. Munyeshuli under Count 3 of the Nzabonimpa Indictment.
Congratulations and great work, Kurt!
