Police Force keeping the criminal courts very busy. They needed to hang them to

               make space for the newly condemned so to speak.

               I say this in all my books and it may surprise you for I am conservative in nature

               (who would have guessed) but I am against the death penalty as a legal man. I
               simply  do  not  believe  lawyers  are  clever  enough  not  to  make  mistakes  and  I

               have yet to see any man being held back from committing murder (when angry
               enough)  by  the  death  penalty  at  a  later  stage.  I  am  also  convinced,  because

               statistics  proves  it,  that  black  men  are  much  more  likely  to  receive  the  death
               penalty than white men and that is inherently unfair. Revenge must never be a

               factor in law. Likewise I appreciate I am a bit hypocritical on this subject. As a
               parent and husband I like the death penalty. Some people deserve to imitate a

               baboon in a tree. No doubt. The problem is to be sure it is actually the  killer.


               Lastly, how can you consent to non-prosecution when it is not your decision but
               the  State's  to  make?  You  simply  do  not  have  that  power  in  law  for  obvious

               reasons.  Thus those indemnities (waivers) meant nothing in practical terms and
               still don't. My point is that if something goes wrong you will not be protected by

               a  spanking  agreement.    Especially  in  cases  where  something  unforeseen
               happens  as  it  always  does  in  life.  Someone  may  get  a  heart  attack  or  be

               punished  too severely or  the pictures leaked out on the Internet etc. You know
               what I mean.


               The "victims" I can tell you were well-known politicians who it seems liked to be

               dominated  to  howl  like  wild  hyenas.  Was  a  very  weird  sight  for  a  19 year old
               constable to see! From what the Special Guard Unit told me (not that we mixed
               with  them  a  lot  since  we  considered  ourselves  superior  to  anyone  except  our

               own  Flying  Squad  Units)  some  of  the  Apartheid  politicians  had  very  strange

               habits.

               *  The  Special  Guard  Unit  (part  of  the  South  African  Police)  formed  the  close

               protection  squads  to  protect  the  fat  Apartheid  politicians  against  their  many
               enemies.  Similar  in  a  small  way  to  the  American  Secret  Service  guarding  the

               U.S. President! Certainly, all U.S. Presidents are highly respected by me despite
               what  my  American  Patriot  sometimes  says  late  at night. Obviously as a citizen
