Farmer arrested after allegedly knocking over 2 children with his car and assaulting a third

Since when do we care about facts being evaluated in court? Did you care about them before judging Ace Magashule?

\When do we get Ace and uBaba into court?

I've never done it so can't answer that.


However, he may have been overcome by anger but realised his mistake after the deed. I don't know. Maybe it was a genuine accident. Facts will come out soon. I'm pretty certain he has many character witnesses.

Why must he spend a week in jail for them to get their ducks in a row? It's not like he's going anywhere. Do you get to spend a week in jail when you run someone over?

About the same time Zimbabwe lands on Mars...
(Although there is apparently nothing there so I assume they may have already visited?)

He was arrested because what the police established when they arrived at the scene was that he intentionally ran over the kids after they stole from him. He would not have been arrested had this been an ordinary road accident.

He was in court to apply for bail. He's not on trial yet. His charges may be adjusted once facts are established.

How did the police "establish" this? Surely it is a case where "allegedly" needs to be added; or is it not needed where the hated white famma is involved?

Is it a crime if you aim your car?

You know it is, i don't understand the relevance of the question?

Speculation, fact is you dont know yet if a crime was committed or not.

Mate, a crime was committed. He ran over children with his car. Whether you feel that way is immaterial. The courts will establish facts and rule accordingly. If it was a genuine mistake, then he'll be tried for something less severe.

Your self pity serves no purpose to the case.

You call me a mate ? Are you a racist or an Ausie sheep fcker ?

Anycase - There's no self pity. Only pity for the dumb fcks who will always be dumb fcks.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

Tell us more...

Why do you feel that way? Give examples where a black murderer was acquitted despite glaring evidence against them.

If you're refering to Coligny, The question should be:

When has a black been incorrectly convicted and sentenced after lies by a white that admitted being drunk and paid to lie?

 

[Cosmik Debris]

It depends on the motive, condition of driver as well as that of the car.

Information available to the police at the time was that a bunch of children stole mielies, he gave chase with his car and intentionally ran them over. This is a crime. However, he has stated in court that he lost control of the car. The courts will decide whether his version of events is truthful, and act accordingly.

Btw, the fact that he summoned the police and paramedics immediately will help support his case.

That didn't help the Coligny two at all. The EFF mobilised community wanted them convicted and the judge obliged.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

He has not been acquitted. He's not even on trial yet.

But has been found guilty by the sensationalist media and EFF already. Just like the Coligny two.

I have no idea.

This was reported by media. No further info is available.

Fair...that's why I said the courts will establish facts.

You said that if he is acquitted on the murder and assault charges, he should be charged with a different crime. That cannot happen in SA courts.

 

[Phylax]

There's already a compiled report from a private investigator?

If your were white and something like this happened to you, your private investigator report would also been done by now...

Where?

You really think Ace is innocent?!

Really?

What crime was committed?

 

[Gyre]

What crime was committed?

On that note, doesn't this headline in the OP prove your running theory about a white attackers and black victims bunk?

 

[ForceFate]

What crime was committed?

According to statement obtained and published by the police, he intentionally ran the kids over, injuring 2. As I stated in my previous comments, facts will be established and proper action taken.

There's a chance he ran them over by mistake. Or not.

 

[konfab]

Where?

The state has to prove he deliberately ran those children over and assaulted them. If they don't, it means that his version of the events is very likely to be the correct one. He cannot be charged with something else unless if they add that onto the initial charges when he goes to court, like he was being negligent by driving his car on the farm.

If he is acquitted, he is done unless the state appeals.
