MR WESSELS
I find it difficult to understand.  You see, by requesting amnesty at that stage or at a later stage, given the fact that Joe and Lafras could also apply for amnesty if they were exposed, no-one would have gone to jail because everybody would have received amnesty, seeing as the act was committed with the objectives which would fall within the ambit of the Act.  So no-one would have been prejudiced if you had decided to tell the truth.
