Judge allows Cartrack expert to testify in AKA and Tibz murder trial
A Durban High Court judge has allowed Cartrack expert Carel Dreyer Rothman to testify after the defence argued it had not received sufficient information about his evidence.
The Durban High Court has allowed Cartrack expert Carel Dreyer Rothman to testify in the murder trial of rapper Kiernan "AKA" Forbes and Tebello "Tibz" Motsoane. The defense had objected to Rothman's testimony, claiming they had not received his full affidavit, expert report, and supporting analysis; they feared he would be prejudiced.
However, the State argued that the defense had been provided with all necessary materials. The judge, Nomfundo Sipunzi, ruled that Rothman could proceed with his testimony after hearing both sides. She indicated she would give her reasons for the decision in her final judgment.
