"Soviti said the expert testified that the samples were not properly sealed and were therefore not tamper proof"

"Soviti also said there was no evidence to prove the two accused were drag racing"

I smell a RAT in this case, this boys will face light sentence, that of recless driving and I tell you they will be given an option of paying a fine, just like Mandoza and Moon

These boys must go to prison to have their asses filled with HIV infected penis.s. They're murderers and must pay by being raped in their faces whilst rotting in jail. It's people like this that society can do without.

Who would go into the trouble of buying alcohol, cocaine and morphine to contaminate somone's urine, risking being detained? Attorney whose intelligence are you insulting here? If they were not drag racing, what speed were they travelling at, and why there was collision? Why are you protecting murderers? How do you sleep at home knowing you are protecting criminals? Yes as they say, love for money is the root of all evil!

If Jub Jub was a nobody,this was would have been over with the same year,but because out justice system caters for the elite and fabulous,he is likely to get off with a slap on the wrist.

THEMBA Tshabalala tried to apologise to the families of the schoolchildren killed when his blue Mini Cooper allegedly ploughed into them, but the State had refused him permission, saying he could do so only after the trial.

The above extract comes from IOL news. I don't know whether he apologized and if not, why he didn't.

Tshabalala is likely to be sentenced to about seven year imprisonment and JJ around 15 years because the case is not being heard at the high court.

The principle is simple; if your actions were so reckless and negligent that it was foreseeable that they were possible going to lead to death - a key test for murder - then one can be charged with and be found guilty of murder.

Jub Jub needed an advisor and someone who was going to minimise the impact and consequences of his actions instead he got a lawyer who wanted to debate and argue what is a straight-forward case. To make things worse he took the stand and lied his way through his testimony.

Guilty, guilty, guilty on all counts and the sentence will not be less than 20 years in jail, by the time he comes out he would have forgotten how to rap.

They are guilty and this case has been dragging for a long time now because JUB-JUB is involved, i say let him be treated like any other citizen and be given his years in jail because he wont live freely in the streets as the community and family of the victims want justice.
