It took a while to get up and running, but the live stream from Henri van Breda’s trial is now a regular thing.

To get you right up to speed, via News24, here’s where we are at from yesterday:
While the police’s forensic science laboratory is not exactly the set of crime drama CSI, it is state-of-the-art and its results are reliable, the police’s chief forensic analyst testified in the trial of Henri van Breda on Thursday.

Today sees Otto still under cross-examination from defence Advocate Combrink:
