MR MBAQA
Yes - you know being  I knew as a comrade and I trusted very much and so on - but he came that day and he was this  State witness, obviously saying something that was not true because at least I had an - I had an idea.  But he was saying something completely wrong and he stood by it.
We tried under all ways to break him, under interrogation, but the guy behaved as if he was trained you know to - in fact he surprised me because he was a chap I knew - you know  - with all respect it's a chap I knew he is you know the feeble type of people I understand him - maybe not a good thing to say, but just a good chap, but that day he was a changed person.  He was virtually a professional of some kind because he was really telling lies and which were not there.
And  I had no doubt in my mind that this chap was saying something he rehearsed for a very long time because he just was not making mistakes.   It is difficult for a young chap of his age to say you know something like that without making mistakes and only makes mistakes when really cornered.
