Head of the unit

Adv Vanden Heever claims the defense team had consultations before an upcoming trial and had access to disclosed dockets to prepare a plea.

“We have had consultations long before. It is actually a much simpler matter than anybody has made it out to be and that is why, for that, it was easy. We have given the client the dockets that was disclosed. And when we had opportunities, we have discussed with him our defence, our plea, so that was, and we had one or two person-to-person meetings that was allowed by the Head of the unit where he is.”
