This is the one court decision I welcome!
Larry Hutchins ahs been in the Brig in Miramar since 2011.
Great news. He should be released immediately.
He served his purpose as a Scapegoat.
It was criminal to arrest him to begin with.
333!
Does this mean a retrial, or is he home free?
He was acquitted of shooting an unarmed man?
Gotta “hand” it to him.
Beat the Long Arm of the law and won’t have to shoulder any more grief...
That’s one. Others left to go.
He needs to be out. They all need to be out.
"A Consecration"
Not of the princes and prelates with periwigged charioteers
Riding triumphantly laurelled to lap the fat of the years, –
Rather the scorned – the rejected – the men hemmed in with the spears;
The men of the tattered battalion which fights till it dies,
Dazed with the dust of the battle, the din and the cries,
The men with the broken heads and the blood running into their eyes.
Not the be-medalled Commander, beloved of the throne,
Riding cock-horse to parade when the bugles are blown,
But the lads who carried the koppie and cannot be known.
Not the ruler for me, but the ranker, the tramp of the road,
The slave with the sack on his shoulders pricked on with the goad,
The man with too weighty a burden, too weary a load.
The sailor, the stoker of steamers, the man with the clout,
The chantyman bent at the halliards putting a tune to the shout,
The drowsy man at the wheel and the tired lookout.
Others may sing of the wine and the wealth and the mirth,
The portly presence of potentates goodly in girth; –
Mine be the dirt and the dross, the dust and scum of the earth!
Theirs be the music, the colour, the glory, the gold;
Mine be a handful of ashes, a mouthful of mould.
Of the maimed, of the halt and the blind in the rain and the cold –
Of these shall my songs be fashioned, my tales be told.
>> Article: When they couldn’t find him they murdered another man
Written as fact, but only a charge that obviously did not stick.
The author writes “the government can challenge this at the supreme court”
Nope. Two different judicial systems.
