Strange system.
Doesn’t help that the first judge was a star-struck idiot, SA’s Lance Ito.
Don’t worry, tomorrow the supremecourt will rule it a self defense.
No kidding; this would never happen in America. A judge or jury’s verdict of “not guilty” to a crime is final; any attempt to go around it is a violation of Double Jeopardy.
A strange system indeed, but if their justice system is like their constitution, it’s based on the justice system of the old Soviet Union, as that’s what inspired the ANC when they wrote the new constitution for South Africa.
