Unfortunately in OP's case, he does fit the criteria, it appears OP is in a much better circumstance than YB, so could be granted bail. :gaah: What I've taken and compared from your link ty, eimajjj,
1. It was in OP's favour taking the stand and being cross examined, YB gave testimony by affidavit only.
2. YB can only put up R20,000 bail which is insufficient to secure her not leave to the country, plus she's unemployed, OP comes from a family of great wealth, his family can guarantee a much larger sum.
3. YB lives with her fiance, the court believes they could break up. :thinking: OP has a secure home with his Uncle and Aunty.
4. YB has failed to disclose her financial situation, which I'm pretty sure OP has. :thinking:
It is definitely improving but I don't understand these 'invisible' servants, its seems comparable to illegal aliens. Makes it difficult when or if they are witness to a crime. OP seemed to value Frank and his housekeeping skills, which was nice to learn.
1. Gee if OP hadn't taken the stand he couldn't have wept, wailed and puked to try and convince the judge and public how distressed he is.
2. A family of great wealth that can also afford to lose the bail amount should their dear "golden boy" need to fly free.
3. Can anyone guarantee how secure their living arrangements are? I hear Ebola is on the rise, let alone earthquakes, typhoons, tornadoes, etc and I'm not just talking about Africa.
4. Yea sure, if you discount the info on the thumb drive/s with offshore accounts that his brother and lawyer were so focused on retrieving from the crime scene that they called in a locksmith while the police were still there. Apparently some of the other reported ownership claims were "untruths". ie. a home in Italy, a McLaren and who knows what else
