There is an interesting comment on Juror13 blog about the assessor Janette Henzen-du Toit and her role in all this..
Two comments from Tess worth reading..

After the muddled reading of the final verdict by Masipa, I can easily believe such a person as the assessor responsible for most of the writing of the verdict. I wonder if she would feel so inclined if it were one of her family who were shot dead, but I suppose she has already applied her emotion to this case with having a disabled relative and the abuse he suffered while imprisoned.
I'm amazed by it all, so here on in, a disabled person can literally get away with murder. Will the government step in and make the necessary changes to move their judicial system and the state of their prisons into the 21st Century?
I think the present rich and influential residents of SA are certainly not going to raise the issue and help change, if it is considered that prisons are for the blacks, who've committed anything from misdemeanors to felonies, and for the 'really, really' bad whites who've committed unchallengable serious crimes against many of their own. :facepalm: :thinking: JMO
