Public Prosecutor vs Noradha Mikhael

Noradha Mikhael was initially charged under Section 304(a) of the Penal Code for causing the death of Shahrul Rizal bin Abd Rahim. After the prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case, the charge was amended to Section 304A. The accused, a police officer, claimed he fired a warning shot at the road, which ricocheted and caused the victim's death. The court found the defense raised reasonable doubt, and the accused was acquitted.
