It seems fifa coins Col Van Rensburg had plenty to be angry about. He told the court how a ballistics expert had incurred his wrath when the so-called professional handled the gun discovered in the bathroom and cocked it without wearing gloves, excusing his behaviour with a simple “sorry”.

In any event, if any avid trial follower was hoping it would all be wrapped up in the scheduled three weeks so they could concentrate on other things, that was always going to be wishful thinking especially with a list of over 100 witnesses. It has already been extended by at least another two weeks until April 4 and that's before the judge even begins to consider her verdict.
