More so than the Presidency of South Africa?
Exhibit A: Jacob Zuma
The case for the prosecution rests.
I feel it only right to let you know I have referred you for psychological assessment and depending on its outcome I will then weigh your evidence in the light of its findings.Exhibit A: Jacob Zuma

Apropos of nothing, SA not alone in what we'll call Zuma Syndrome, funny how they manage to squirm up the greasy pole, isn't it.

It's been decided that it's not in the courts interest to determine whether I am of sound psychological mind and whether or not this has any impact on the validity of my evidence. Now, you must excuse me as I have to go and check the temperature of my emergency fire-fighting reservoir....

My OH who also lived in SA also believes he's unlikely to be found guilty because of who he is...
I'm slightly more confident in the system producing a just result, whatever that may be.
Interesting and challenging that two individuals who both have the same experience of life in South Africa both have a serious lack of regard for the Courts system. Indeed I think generally lack of regard for any of SA's public systems. Barring such disgraceful and illegal nonsense, which clearly cannot be totally discounted totally, I am hopeful of a Guilty verdict. But not confident. I'm slightly more confident in the system producing a just result, whatever that may be.

I should add my OH is also a lawyer (though not in the criminal or civil litigation arenas). I'm sticking to my thought that on what we've heard to date, that he'll be convicted of murder or manslaughter (assuming that is the fall back).
Agreed. Pistorius is a dangerous evil man who should spend the rest off his life in jail for the brutal and callous murder of an innocent unprotected woman inher own home. There can be no excuses. My OH was a super head successfully running three schools. I have always remember Robert Maxwells comment when interviewed about his criteria for wife. He replied "One thing alone, Intelligence". A number of marriages have proved to me that on that occasion he was absolutely right. Undoubtedly the most critical factor. Clever women are interesting when you meet them and remain so. It s a challenge trying to keep up but thus far.........Bonefish Blues said:

Depressing to hear such negative views of the Justice System of a major developed county.
In some respects yes; in other's, it's Africa....

Maybe that's why he had his legs chopped off by a Timelord.
