When the case is wrapped up, court transcripts of the trial of those accused of killing Nathaniel Julies, should they be placed side by side, may read like Denzel Washington's blockbuster movie, Training Day.

The similarities are uncanny: both the murder case and the fictitious movie feature an antagonistic corrupt senior cop and his outlawed ammunition; a fresh graduate trainee on a lawless enforcement operation; and a cover-up that went bust.

New evidence emerged from Sithole, who took the stand a week ago. Sithole claims that accused two, senior officer Sergeant Simon ‘Scorpion’ Ndyalvane, concealed a bullet casing when police made off with Julies at the back of a police van. When defence lawyers grilled him about his version of events, and his motive behind secretly recording Whiteboy and Ndyalvane when the pair discussed a plan to cover up the murder, Sithole told the court that he and others feared Ndyalvane.

Judge Ramarumo Monama disallowed several questions in which Manyatheli put it to Sithole that he should have been charged with accessory to murder if he did, in fact, see Ndyalvane remove bullets from the shotgun that killed Julies.
