This is their plea for a lighter sentence? The victim had not planned to be raped on that day, had she?
They should have thought about their kin and ages if they were that important. I've been following this case and at some point I was sure it was going to fall off the radar. Now, I'm not that young but the Almighty has been good to me and I could pass for a younger me. Early this year, a group of young men & ladies 20something yr olds added me to their whatsapp group. The things the discuss, memes etc are just shocking especially on Mondays after a weekend, long weekends like this one even worse. I think our values have really changed. These are young people with good entry level jobs, uni graduates most in IT, 3/4 of them raised by single parents or other family members not that well to do. These guys are experimenting with everything and I can see how the line can be blurred between consensual sex and rape in parties after drinking and whatever other things accompany those drinks. I just think our morals have fallen to a super new low and if you have kids, bring them up the old fashioned way with discipline and teaching being key. That said, if these guys are guilty and it look like they are, I hope they receive the maximum sentence ili iwe funzo. We have too many youth so we should not worry about their replacements in the rugby club, life etc. That was a very weak defence line. Under what circumstances were you added to the group? Because of my profession. It's a group of young professions from a certain sector. Maybe one or two people here are in that group judging from some discussions here. add me to that group too.  I'm bila admin powers. But I know from what I see that it will get darker with that generation before we see any light. But again, that was said of all new generations.
BBI will solve it :)

Can't help but pity these young lads. I am convinced it is one of those cases where consent can be given then wuthdrawn. Too much alcohol. The remorse and anger after the pregnancy triggered the girl's late reporting of the crime. A condom would have changed everything.

The court of appeal has ordered for a re-trial. Will justice be served finally? I suspect the two rugby players will be acquitted. You can't sit pretty and sue people for rape a month after the act and only upon discovering that you are pregnant and your attempts at blackmail have hit a brick wall.

No prize for guessing the outcome. The lady magistrate who sentenced them to 15yrs imprisonment needs to be investigated. Quite frankly, one doesn't need to have studied law to spot the bias,
