Botha has made contact to get a report two weeks from now- 5 June for sentencing, Adv Botha to have regard to Judge Desai's judgment
Galloway- we have prepared argument against bail being extended pending sentencing
Adv Botha- it was common cause that accused was afforded bail a year ago he has been fully compliant with bail conditions
Judge Desai: In light of the seriousness of these allegations it seems proper that bail be terminated
Adv b: he could be placed under house arrest easier to consult with us until the sentencing on 5 June
Botha: he is on chronic medication now for the epilepsy, possibility of awaiting sentencing prisoners to access proper care is difficult. If you find against me I will ask that you endorse a warrant that he be held on the hospital wing
Judge Desai: I can't compel correctional services, I can make a recommendation.
Chronic medication means nothing mr Botha I have been on chronic medication for years
Galloway- previous bail ceased the moment the accused was convicted. It's only extended if the court so grants it. State opposes bail, very serious offenses he has been convicted of
Galloway- minimum sentence of life imprisonment for each count one to three. Although he has co-operated, the circumstances have now changed. He has the means to obtain travel documents, must consider his personal circumstances
His family ties are limited, no fixed employment, does not derive his own income, he could forfeit bail, his financial position would allow him to flee easily
