Special Report Transcript Episode 72, Section 3, Time 22:58

I want to state quite categorically on behalf of my client that I do not believe that my client should be put on trial here. This is an amnesty application; it’s not a place for my client to be vindicated. He should have been brought to trial if there was evidence that in any way he was implicated, which we deny, he should have been brought to a criminal trial. // I think I’m going to put a stop to this, please. Your client has not been compelled to come here, you understand? I have before me the notice which was served on him in terms of section 194. It says ‘take further notice that as a person implicated in the application you have the right to be present and to be represented by a legal representative at the hearing and to testify, induce evidence and submit any article to be taken into consideration.’ In other words, please understand, your client has not been told that he’s required to be here. This notice says that he has a right to be here if he chooses to or wishes to be here. You understand?
