Submissions by former president Jacob Zuma’s legal team that any judge presiding over his case would just “read the record” of the Schabir Shaik trial and sentence him, showed a complete lack of understanding of criminal proceedings.
Breitenbach said Zuma was “putting up conspiracy theories” and the Shaik trial had not been a “dry run”, as he alleged.
“If there is an objection to the admissibility of the fax, it will be adjudicated on its merits considering the prevailing circumstances. We know there was an objection in the Shaik trial and it was admitted. He said Zuma’s argument for leave to appeal was “very general” and did not reach the “raised” bar of showing that another court would — not might — find differently.
