Convicted city socialite Shanita Namuyinbwa alias Bad Black has again been caught in another case where she pleads guilty. Prosecution alleges that Bad Black on December 4, 2011, at Casablanca Pub & Restaurant along Acacia Avenue, while driving a Mercedes Benz UAM 833Z, carelessly and without reasonable consideration for other road users, knocked a motorcycle UDN 916E and injured the three passengers; Ismail Nsamba, the rider of the motorcycle, his wife Fatuma Namusoke and their six-months-old baby Jamila Namulindwa who were seriously injured, on top of damaging the motorbike.
Earlier on Bad Black had denied the charges but finally she told court that she committed the offence through drunk driving. “Yes, I knocked them your worship, but I did not intend it, I was drunk,” she said.
She, however, asked court presided over by Grade One Magistrate Juliet Hatanga, to grant her permission to defend herself, but to no fruition. The magistrate declined her pleas, saying she had already pleaded guilty to the crime, and would be given an opportunity during defense hearings that starts on February 20, 2014.
