I dont have knowledge of law, but i can see that Thabo's lawyer is not experienced enough.

[@user-di3lf4ww8q]

From my observations Thabo makes him nervous he pushes him too much then he end up making mistakes and not listening because of the pressure he's given by that thug Thabo

What a bloody disrespectful Lawyer of the accused. The Judge should hit him with the full might of the law for being so disrespectful. He is lacking experience in such a case and thought he could pass with his application on the same poor level that he passed his exams.

Sharp judge. No nonsense taker. Representative’s argument makes no sense. He brings a civil claim against DCS but wants the matter adjudicated as a criminal case 🤷‍♀️.
