Defilement cases top the list of appeal cases to be handled during the Court of Appeal criminal session currently taking place at Masaka High Court.
The panel of three Justices; Hellen Obura, Muzamiru Kibeedi, and Moses Kawumi Kazibwe is expected to handle at least 28 appeal cases, with 14 cases being aggravated defilement, murder (10), rape (two), man slaughter and incest (one each).
On Monday, the court heard the appeal of Joseph Paul Mbaziira, 55, who was sentenced to life in prison for defiling his 8-year-old daughter and infecting her with HIV/AIDS in 2007.
