Well. There's justice for you.

I don't know much about the SA legal system, but am absolutely certain that if was black and from a Township he'd get treated in exactly the same manner

I don't know much about the SA criminal underworld but they showed an interest in him didn't they ?

They're just fking with his head. Parole in August, back to court in November, followed by a 20 year stretch.

Not very pc I know but I wouldn't lose a lot of sleep if somebody was waiting for him when he gets out.

[hornetrider]

Confirmed out next week. 10 months served.

What a fking joke.

[Vipers]

Innocent men have been jailed before.

To be moved to house arrest next Tuesday.

3rd November according to the Guardian.

House arrest seems pretty cushy in SA too;

"He is expected to stay at his uncle Arnold’s three-storey mansion in a wealthy suburb of Pretoria. He is likely to be allowed to leave the house to work, carry out community service or to attend important family events, and officials say he will not have to wear an electronic monitoring device."

How long until there is a report of an incident in a night club?

What a joke.

I wouldn't be surprised if he kills again.

Living on a posh housing estate in SA is a bit like being in prison anyway - high walls, tight security, armed guards etc.

Her poor family must be sick. What a joke it is, can't fathom the outcomes so far.

And he's out.

And now the regular, career criminals will know that he's not armed and an attack on him or his property will not be met with a few bullets. I wonder if that's a justice the PH mob would prefer.
