:48:03
We have three police graphologists
who will swear that it is.
:48:06
Only three?
:48:09
You see, Dr. Hassiem found...
:48:12
that the abrasions
on the prisoner's neck were... Oh, yes.
:48:16
"Were not made by rope, but chains."
:48:19
Objection! Where is the witness
for this assertion, Your Worship?
:48:24
Dr. Hassiem is my witness.
:48:26
You know that Dr. Hassiem
is not available to testify.
:48:30
I am also aware that he can be summoned
by Your Worship to this courtroom.
:48:34
And he will be accompanied
by armed guards...
:48:36
then chained, neck, hand, and foot...
:48:39
and all in a matter of minutes.
:48:41
I'm afraid we cannot dismiss acts of treason
just when we like, Mr. McKenzie.
:48:46
Are you at all concerned, Your Worship,
that he might be carrying...
:48:51
some explosive charges
in one of the recesses of his body...
:48:55
with the intention of blowing
this entire courtroom to smithereens?
:48:59
Mr. McKenzie, I must caution you
as to your remarks.
:49:02
I am warning you, this court will not tolerate
contemptuous fripperies.
:49:07
I beg your pardon, sir.
:49:10
Your Worship...
:49:12
I shall call another witness who will attest
to Ngubene's physical welfare.
:49:18
Call Archibald Mabaso.
:49:26
I am going to read out to the court
a statement that you signed...
:49:30
Archibald Mabaso.
:49:33
Do you understand?
:49:35
Yes.
:49:39
"I saw him brought in the late afternoon.
:49:43
"I had a few words with him.
:49:46
"He looked very good.
:49:50
"I saw no one go into his cell
till the morning...
:49:53
"when they found him dead."
:49:56
"He" being Ngubene?
