The legal representatives went as far as saying, the cartridge examined is not the one which was fired from the firearm in question, because they are not 100 percent matching. Defence Advocate Shane Matthews, the legal representatives of the accused, believe his story does not add up. In an unexpected turn of events, Malema lashed out on the late coming of the presiding Magistrate Twanette Olivier to the courtroom.
