Animal is a Ram Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 He's under house arrest until he's been re-sentenced, by the looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I watched the whole court stream as it was happening, and I thought the reasoning the judge gave as to why she could not convict him of murder made a lot of sense and there didn't appear to be many holes in it. But then I don't know South African law very well and the cited "misinterpretation of law" in the appeal hearing could well be true. Looking at it from the outside without thinking about what I know of the technicalities of law, it's hard to come to the conclusion that it was anything other than murder.
