Criminal procedure — unrepresented accused — court's duty to put to State witnesses points in defence outline where accused does not put these to witnesses
The court should ask State witnesses to comment on points clearly mentioned by the accused in his defence outline if a legally unrepresented accused does not put these points to the witnesses during cross-examination; the court should not simply draw an adverse inference from the accused's failure to raise these points in cross-examination. By doing this the court is not taking sides or entering the arena; it is simply ensuring that the accused's defence case is properly commented upon by the witnesses.
