There's intense discussion of whether OP will be granted leave to appeal his murder conviction in the Constitutional Court, and whether his appeal would then stand any chance of success.
Constitutional Law expert, Professor Warren Freedman says: As far as his prospects of success are concerned, if it simply relates to the facts or to the way in which the courts applied the law. To the facts then I would say that his chances of success are low. It relates to the manner in which the court interpreted the law then again having read the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) judgement I would be quite surprised if he succeeds.

As convicted murderer OP and his legal team prepare to approach the Constitutional Court to appeal his murder conviction, hell need to dig deeper into his pockets.
OP, who is said to be broke, will have to come up with the required fees to enable his legal team to appeal the Supreme Court of Appeal ruling that overturned his culpable homicide conviction to murder.
Criminal lawyer Advocate Percy Tshabalala said the move would not be a cheap one. "The constitutional court is very expensive. They cant start talking about the Constitutional Court without having money," he said.
