Good morning to all of you. Nice automn day in Geneva.
Will try to catch up now this morning session.

Didn't Masipa say OP was guilty of one of the gun charges? Then he was found guilty of Culpable Homicide.

This is 2 convictions in criminal court. Someone please tell me OP should go to prison just as you or I would!

I don't like!

 

[mister happy]

Do any of my wonderful fellow websleuthers believe that OP will serve a prison sentence??

I don't think Masipa will send him to prison. If any detention is given, it'll be no more than 3 years of house arrest. As far as community service, Masipa may "get tough" with OP and make him do some light labor, such as sweeping.

 

[JudgeJudi]

We're back

 

[LaLaw2000]

Back!

Nel said earlier that he'd "deal with that in heads" so are we to expect another delay after all the witnesses have been heard for both sides to present more heads of argument?

 

[Sherbert]

The vigilante point was a good one - Masipa must not lose sight of the fact that it is her responsibility to ensure that the people retain faith in the judicial process. So far, she's not doing a very good job of fulfilling that obligation.

 

[zwiebel]

We are back. judge wants to know if 'the machine' is now in order.

 

[zwiebel]

'The machine is okay now, Nel says. All backed up.

I'm using the Telegraph today. Sounds always low on that though.

N: What facilities are we talking about?

AV: Psycho, physical facilities.....

N: The accused is a broken man?

AV: it is a fact thereof milady (or something like that. Ridiculous answer, anyhow. Made me choke on my tea so didn't hear properly)

No sweeping. She will make him speak to disabled children, as a sort of roving celebrity. Sweeping would be a punishment. And My Lady will not punish him, imo.
