In Brief
A petitioner convicted of raping a 6-year-old child challenged the conviction by claiming that, having only one hand, it was physically impossible to commit the offence. Both the trial and appellate courts rejected this claim, finding him potent and capable. The Supreme Court, noting that both lower courts had concordantly found guilt based on the victim's and eyewitness testimony, and that the State had not appealed, dismissed the special leave petition without interfering with the conviction."
