JUDGE WILSON
Well you realise that on the evidence presented by him he can not ask for amnesty in that aspect.  He cannot ask for amnesty in respect of the stabbing of the child. He denies having committed that act. We only grant amnesty to people who come before us and ask for amnesty in respect of acts they have committed. We are not a court of appeal to set aside convictions where somebody has been wrongly convicted. I asked him and he confirmed that what he has said in his evidence is that there was no common purpose on the attack on this child, that he played no part on the attack on the child and that he thought to prevent it as soon as he saw it happening. Accordingly it does not fall within the provisions of the act.
