Aislinn Laing@Simmoa Judge: "The only issue which I have to determine is whether the evidence shows the accused was part of that conspiracy." #DewaniTrial |

It looks like Judge is about to dismiss charges? But who knows with SA system? From the little i have seen of the prosecution case.. it is based on VERY dubious evidence. I think throwing out the case makes sense. I did opine that I could NOT understand UK agreeing to the extradition. The evidence seemed less than convincing and HUGE potential for corrupt investigation and or prosecution in SA. We'll see. One thing is for sure, after this and the Pistorius case I WONT be bothering with any more SA cases/trials. |

Aislinn Laing@Simmoa Judge also refuses to grant Monde Mbolombo immunity from prosecution, since he was untruthful, providing cue for his arrest. |

Aislinn Laing@Simmoa Shrien Dewani shows no emotion as the judge concludes that he can go home. Anni's family also remain impassive, but can hear tearful sighs. |

Application is granted. Dewani not guilty Aislinn Laing@Simmoa Judge formally declares Shrien Dewani "not guilty", calls for Monde Mbolombo's arrest then sweeps from court. #DewaniTrial |

What a farce. Good work that Judge, but again a shonkey investigation and devious Prosecutor(s). Based on 2 cases it is the NORM in SA. WTF was UK thinking granting the extradition? |

I didn't follow this case at all but after the nuttiness of the State bringing a premeditated murder charge in the Pistorius case I'm not surprised that a judge would throw out a case that depends on lies or that the state would bring a case before the court based on lies. The rescinding of the witnesses immunity could only be done here in the States if it could be proven that he lied in his statements so I am going to go out on a limb and say that the court has incontrovertible evidence that the person lied. |

Shrien Dewani ‘could face questions from British coroner’ over South Africa honeymoon death The 35-year-old Bristol businessman was cleared of involvement in his wife Anni’s death but north London coroner now indicates he might resume the inquest into her death By Aislinn Laing, Johannesburg 3:01PM GMT 01 Feb 2015 Shrien Dewani, the British businessman acquitted of murdering his wife Anni on their honeymoon in South Africa, could face further questions from a coroner in the UK, it has emerged. Mr Dewani, 35, from Bristol, was accused by the South African authorities of paying a taxi driver and two hitmen to kill his wife in a staged carjacking in November 2010 because he was a homosexual who wanted to get out of his marriage. He fought extradition back to South Africa for three years on mental health grounds but was eventually extradited in April. His trial in Cape Town collapsed in December without Mr Dewani ever taking the stand after the judge ruled the prosecution case was "riddled with contradictions". But now a coroner in North London, where Mrs Dewani lived before she was married, has indicated that he may re-open the case. Andrew Walker is the former Oxfordshire coroner who heard scores of inquests into the deaths of British servicemen and women in Iraq and Afghanistan. He developed a reputation for his unflinching approach and willingness to ask awkward questions of the Ministry of Defence over scarce equipment for troops and the involvement of key allies in friendly fire incidents. ...more at link http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... death.html |
