MR LAX
Doesn't the requirement of gravity go to the issue of the gravity of the crime, not just the way in which it is committed?  The way in which it is committed would to my mind go more to the issue of proportionality in relation to the object to be achieved, how they carried out the offence, what methods did they use etc.  You see, Mr Prior, it's quite clear that these, Mr Gqomfa and his colleagues, if they'd managed to hit those guys who were running away they would have killed them.
	Now when - I was looking for the portion here, somewhere Mr Gqomfa was asked about what he would have done and whether he felt any, whether he had any feeling for the man before he shot him.  I can't remember the exact place, but the simple fact was he said: "look, I was a soldier, I had a job to do, I did it."  If I paraphrase him not quite correctly I apologise but it was words to that effect.  Does that not keep it within the realms of the political object, if you like?
