MR PHOSA
There's an extent to which I can say, I understand you.   I have represented people who have been charged with murder and I know they behave and how they think but I personally have not been.  However, to get back to your position, at one stage I understood - it may not be your fault, that the decision was made 10 days before the actual incident - event, but it appears that the first discussion was 10 days before but the ultimate decision was much later, isn't it?  The ultimate decision was much later than 10 days before?
