Yes, I have been following it closely.
good for people to see how it is done in court.
just a pity that some witnesses have testified so badly. "onvoorbereid", makes Gerrie nel look like a arse.
the other pitfall is, that with the sec 220 admissions, the public will still not understand how the case is build in front of the judge.
sec 220 admissions are statements not in dispute, ie, the safe guarding of the body that it did not incur any other injuries on its way to the morgue.
the blood samples etc.
the other aspect is his sec 115 plea, and the bail application affidavit.
he was a hero to some, and seeing him fall is the bad thing.
ie: from hero to zero.
sometimes roux is off the point in my opinion, but he gets paid to do a job, he has to try at least.
and the nice thing, even if he fails in his quest to win, he still gets paid. lekker ne.
we will have to wait and see what ballistics will testify. the trajectory will be interesting.
I see they blame the cops a lot for errors made.
I hope this case changes how training is provided in future.
en dat hulle ook die sleg ******* uit die polisie uit kry.
daar is te veel wat net niks doen nie.
so lets wait and see, whats in store on the next episode of our own true life soapie.
