A Disgrace for our High Court!

The history of this case is that Bafana Matwa raped a 7 year old girl. He at first denied the rape, but when DNA linked the sleazy sex offender to the crime, he pleaded guilty. Correctly he was sentenced to a life term by the Vereeniging Regional Court. So far, so good.

Then, a shocker: Acting Judge Bert Baum, in the Pretoria High court,  in his infinite wisdom and compassion for victims, reduced the sentence to 22 years imprisonment. His wise and touching reasons were that although the little girl had suffered serious mental anxiety, she had not been physically injured when she was raped.

Seriously..an acting judge thinks like this. Doctor's notes clearly state that the little girl weighed a mere 29,3kg at the time and  'features of forced vaginal penetration were found to be present.' The piece of useless human meat, who raped her, forced himself on her and covered her mouth when she tried to scream. Then this waste of a life, tries to claim his plea of guilty, is a form of remorse. (Even though he only pleaded guilty when the DNA proved he was).
Luckily the wise, badly acting judge, saw through this desperate ruse, but still found that he was a first time offender and other than the vaginal injuries, he had not harmed her further...and the idiot on the bench sees this as a mitigating factor and actually has the gall to add that the magistrate who handed down the life sentence, should have taken this into account!!!! What baffles me even more, is Judge Dread Baum, actually acknowledges that, because of her age, the crime would have a severe psychological impact on the child. So he sees this..yet finds it in his logic, his, who knows what, to reduce, what was a correct sentence.

Firstly, the magistrate handed down the correct sentence, should be applauded for being hard on crime. This monster Matwa should never see freedom again.
Secondly, our waste of time, criminal sympathizing government needs to re-look at punishment for violent and severe crimes and stop kissing the arses of these criminals and respecting their rights above the victim's. Thirdly, Acting Judge Baum should stop acting, and bugger off to the rock from which he crawled under. We cannot have people on the bench who have any sympathy for criminals, especially sex offenders, and even more so, those who harm children. I am unapologetic when I say that the death penalty needs to be brought back to South Africa.
