        @prisms5live @BBCBreaking Stop defending a violent thug. If it was my daughter he wouldn't be alive to argue the case.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews getting bail while facing sentencing for murder is ludicrous. Remand him back to custody is the sensible option.

        @JamesD_7 It's based on his likelihood to flee and/or reoffend. Both considered highly unlikely.

        @SirMustard whilst unlikely, he has the means to flee if desired. But SA must be one of the only countries to allow bail on a murder charge.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCSport @BBCNews Why does he get bail? I don't understand. He's been charged with murder, just lock him up.

        @linda_gorry Convicted of murder in fact.

        @SirMustard Yes, that's what I meant....so why does he get bail?

      5. Crispin‏ @SirMustard 8 Dec 2015
        Replying to @linda_gorry

        @linda_gorry Because his sentence is currently house arrest, and the decision has yet to be made if he will be sent to prison instead.
