The Jacob Zuma corruption trial will soon recommence in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court with his new legal team bringing three arguments in favour of a permanent stay of prosecution. It seems doubtful that they will succeed, writes Serjeant at the Bar.
His lawyers have argued that there are three key legs to the case in favour of a permanent stay of prosecution: 1) the long delays in getting the case to trial, bearing in mind that more than a decade has elapsed since the case against him was initiated; 2) a political conspiracy lies at the heart of the NPA's determination to prosecute Mr Zuma and; 3) pretrial irregularities including unlawful spying on Mr Zuma as was evidenced in the leaked Brown Moles report back in 2006.
That not only amounts to a serious attempt at a policy of redistribution to the legal profession but is also indicative of the intensity of the legal battles waged by Mr Zuma to fend off the criminal charges.
Dudu and daddy need a fashion overall starting with the orange one.
I really don't mind a reduced sentence for JZ from life imprisoned to 15 years is a fair deal. Just get it done yet!!
