"Magazine hill",
they call this place.
Dead end.
Mmm.
Why would labuschagne
and the other men
in the minibus
have come up here?
He claims
he can't remember any of it.
So, Leon's bakkie
was parked here.
He left the keys
in the ignition,
then he ran that way.
The minibus taxi
belonging to
the football team was...
Came to rest here.
Point-blank range.
The gun they found
was registered in Leon's name.
He dragged
the bodies over there,
then he lined them up.
Why would he do that?
None of it makes any sense.
Oh.
You can see
the prison from over here,
where he worked.
Who's the judge?
Van zyl, the hanging judge.
The two of you should get on
like chalk and cheese.
Do you think
Majority support
the death penalty.
The majority
supported
burning at the stake,
witch dunking, crucifixion.
Sit!
Leon, this is John weber.
He's a senior advocate.
He's been asked to defend you.
I've been asked to,
but I don't
particularly want to.
Then why don't you go home?
Because your case is so bad,
no one else will take it.
I already told you,
i don't want you to defend me.
I don't want to talk.
I don't want to
see you, either.
Well, we've
fulfilled our obligations.
Let's go.
Hang on.
I've had enough of this cock.
working on this case!
Listen to me, Leon.
You might be feeling
sorry for yourself now,
but you're gonna feel
a hell of a lot worse
when you get a death sentence.
I met your wife,
your little daughter, Esme.
When you last see her?
Six months ago?
I read in your file that
you were a warder in
the prison service.
I suggest you find out
what's in store for you.
Speak to the warders
when you go back to your cell,
ask them what
happens on death row.
I know what
happens on death row.
I worked there.
When this happened,
you were working
on death row at
maximum security prison?
Surely, you were too young.
I started working
there over two years ago.
On gallows duty?
Leave me alone.
Nobody gets away
Unless they're the police,
of course.
Bad break, my boy.
There's no defense
for an attack like that.
No, the guy's as good as dead.
Good serve, Andrew!
you get a better
chance to get to the ball!
Look at it this way, John.
Everyone gets a bad
case now and then.
You just got a hopeless one.
With soldiers who
return from combat,
a minority suffer
mental breakdown
after one
traumatic experience.
But only a very small minority
avoid breakdown
after prolonged exposure.
Which is what
this would have been.
In fact,
he reminds me of
veterans I've treated.
I'd say he's in
a similar state
of emotional collapse.
So, what you're saying,
as far as
the prosecution is concerned,
is that your tests
but also don't rule
out the possibility
that he could be
a racist or a psychopath.
My opinion?
Something triggered
a violent response.
Any idea what that
trigger might be?
I'm afraid not.
So, it follows, Dr.
schlebusch,
that there might
actually not be a trigger.
That's correct.
The trial of Leon labuschagne,
the man who shot
dead seven members
starts in the pretoria
high court this week.
Human rights advocate,
John weber,
who's defending labuschagne,
is well known internationally
as an opponent of
capital punishment.
According to police sources,
labuschagne's
motives for the shooting
are unclear,
and any links to
right wing organizations
