Amazing how these trials of celebrities or monied people gets sorted out immediately. We have many people languishing in jail and their cases have not yet been heard in courts.Report Abuse

Just as I thought-the rape case against Lekoelea did not have enough grounds. How can a rapist have time to wear a condome in the first place. This little b**ch was trying to dig gold in the not so rich mine.Report Abuse
