The things in court this week! A police raid to scare someone using a CAS no with someone else's name, warrantless private info for sale, pet parrots called Pablo and Gustavo, and watching the sun rise on Teams in the US. Ronan Bennett should do a script for 'Top Brasse'

In light of evidence today in the murder trial of Lt Col Charl Kinnear, worth going back to this special project by Jeff Wicks and myself, where we showed how Kinnear's phone was tracked by Zane Killian, one of the accused.

Digital forensic expert here at the Lifman trial giving his qualifications to extract and analyse cellphone, computer and skimmer data. Fascinating. Interpreter digging deep for the Afrikaans equivalents of words like 'itemised billing'.

These rescuers are doing such incredible work. Lots of love to the families and friends still waiting for their person to come up.

Heart breaking.

How crucial is a formal qualification vs knowledge acquired over a long time on the job? Here in Modack trial his lawyer is objecting to a cop who will interpret pings, saying he is not an expert. Cop has 15 years' experience on the job. Judge might kick witness out.

We struggled a bit with the acoustics in the Lifman trial last week, so they brought in this party speaker to court. The light changes colour.

The Louis Liebenberg presser 🤣🤣 Lordt.

Remember the Khayelitsha mass shooting of 7 March 2020? Today two men got 7 life sentences each for murder at a rival extortionist's house, five years each for 3 attempted murders, 15 each for unlawful possession of guns, 15 each for the ammo they used. They want to appeal.

If you have a minute take a look at this project and see what these birds get up to in their nests.

JUST IN: Judge Nkosinathi Chili has removed former President Jacob Zuma’s private prosecution against state advocate Billy Downer and myself from the court roll.

Thank you so much Ben Winks and Charl du Plessis!

The way lawyers hint for a lunch break during trial: Would this be an opportune time to break my lord? Or, I am moving to a new topic my lord (with two Bambi blinks at milord). 😅

Waiting for my case and there's a super neat guy who just pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery: stole a bag at knife point in Tamboerskloof. Says he now has a good job and he has rehabilitated. Postponed for sentencing report. Fingers crossed his turnaround sticks.

There was a whole microphone event to switch off the etolls. With a countdown and cheering. I would be a bit more solemn over the waste of billions.
