The 57-year-old father's fight to clear his name has been beset by legal obstacles of his own making since his arrest a year ago.

Judge Elizabeth Baartman found that Packham breached his R75,000 bail by contacting witnesses, which he denied.

It turned out that Packham’s bail had been paid by someone else, and Baartman returned the money to the “depositor”. The prosecution argued that by contacting the friend, Packham indirectly tried to reach his former mistress.Baartman dismissed Packham’s application for leave to appeal against her decision last month. “I am persuaded that there is no sound or rational basis to conclude that there are prospects of success on appeal,” she said.
