They'll talk to you.
All right,
I'll make some inquiries,
but you're wasting your time.
'Cause the guys
who do what he does,
they don't talk about it.
They never do.
You should tell him
to keep his head up.
It's the victims' families,
they staring at him.
That's his parents,
his sister antoinette.
At about 18:
00,on a deserted road
near the magazine hill quarry,
the accused forced
the minibus in which
the deceased were
traveling from the road,
then shot all seven
victims with a pistol.
Detective,
is this pistol, which is
registered in
the name of the accused,
the firearm that was used
to fire the bullets
found at the scene?
This is the pistol, m'lord.
That's all I have for
this witness, my lord.
Mr. weber?
No questions, my lord.
What are you doing?
I'll explain later.
The bakkie found
parked next to the body,
that too was registered
in the name of the accused?
Yes.
According to your report,
Correct.
He was forced to flee on foot.
That's all, my lord.
No questions, my lord.
Why didn't you
cross-examine anyone?
We can't argue facts.
If we admit everything,
we deny them the opportunity
for a parade of
emotional witnesses,
and rob
the case of its impact.
they'll have nothing left.
They found him,
they found the gun,
they found the bakkie.
That's all they've got.
That's all?
What have we got?
Leon is nearly comatose,
Dr. schlebusch will
barely speak to him...
If it goes that way tomorrow,
gentlemen,
we'll soon be
finished on our side.
Good night.
Good night.
And you were going to say,
a senior advocate
who hasn't handled
a murder case in 15 years?
I don't know
what you said
to him last time,
but he was grouchy
when he came home.
More than usual?
I'm the one who has
to live with him, John.
Here, take that.
Seems to me he's
guilty of murder
and you're trying to turn it
into a political case.
Well, every case involving
the death sentence
is a political case.
Could've just been road rage,
you ever think of that?
He shot seven people 13 times.
A very bad case of road rage.
The only thing I've
accomplished so far
is to keep our
strategy a secret,
but that ends when
the defense starts.
Well,
see if this is of any use.
What is it?
It's a table of drops.
How much do you weigh?
About 70 kilos.
So, you divide 840 foot-pounds
by the weight of the prisoner,
in this case 70,
which means that you,
John weber,
would need five feet,
three inches of rope
for a nice,
clean break.
He was very good
at it, apparently.
They relied on him,
calculating the drops.
And how do you know this?
You don't wanna ask.
