Special Report Transcript Episode 34, Section 5, Time 19:37

Three days before Skumbuzo’s death IFP member Abdul Awetha had been ambushed in his car. He survived but three children did not. The prosecution claimed Awetha killed Skumbuzo in revenge. Ballistic testing put Awetha’s gun at the scene of Skumbuzo’s murder, but his gun had been tampered with. Neither the ballistic tests, nor the sometimes conflicting reports of eye witnesses could prove who had pulled the trigger. All three accused were acquitted. // I went to trial and I was not guilty, and so … // You were acquitted. // We were acquitted.
