I think it's a crime in any case Mr Chairman.   I'll be mildly surprised if somebody leaves me on - and I can't get a conviction if I'm a prosecutor.
      And then of course there is the other question as far as culpable homicide is concerned.   Your Lordship would recall the judgment of your erstwhile brother Hugo in the Natal Provincial division as to the duty of the policemen, that he's got, once a crime has been committed, now that obviously also would go further, and its not only good enough to the Commander, the Commanding Officer, will - has a duty to get medical treatment.   If I'm in charge of a person, then I've got a duty to get him medical treatment if he can't get it himself. If I don't do it I'm negligent, if he dies, I'm culpable.
      So, my Lord, I think those really are the only law points.   Those are the submissions I wish to make in this regard.
