Samenvatting:

The Verdict was written and published by trial Advocate Siegfried Walther prior to the actual Trial Court Verdict. Compare it with the Judgment actually handed down on 11 September 2014.

The final portion of this updated version deals with the State's Appeal and the Judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal. At the end the writer poses this question. Did the Appeal Court find Oscar guilty of murdering his girlfriend? Or did they accept his version and to all intents and purposes find him guilty of murdering someone he genuinely believed was an intruder? If the conviction is murder either way, does the answer really matter? And if so, why?
