There was a picture of her (appears to be one of those taken at a portrait studio found at the mall, with Henzen-du Toit all "dolled up"), so I know I have the right person. Items that were viewable, for non-Facebook people included her picture, along with "favorites" ....books, music, etc.
Of the TOP 4 "FAVORITE" books, she listed (3) books that IMO, were heavily weighted Christian/religious books:
"The Shack" by Wm.Paul
"The Power of Simple Prayer"
"Life Without Limbs" (authored by the gentleman born without any legs or arms. His success in life strongly linked to his relationship/influences wi God)
Not sure if Judges, Assessors influenced by their personal religious beliefs, but I imagine all influences and experiences in our lives certainly play a role in each of us and the decisions we make.
I just found it interesting that 3 of the 4 books she posted as her "favorites" were heavily influenced by the role religion plays in our lives and that one of those books was also written by a young man born with a severe and extraordinary physical handicap (no arms nor legs) and how he overcame this horrific challenge.
I just found it interesting. Peaked my interest. I am certainly not suggesting Judges/Assessors can't be religious, or atheist, or whatever ???. Anyone in a powerful, influential position such as theirs would have to be careful/aware of using the law & only the law to do their job. But after the ruling & reasoning Masipa gave for basing her verdict on, I am totally confused and disappointed in "how the judicial system works". (Have had this feeling after many verdicts here in the States as well. i.e....OJ, Casey Anthony, etc, but I always blamed the jury system. Laypersons with their many biases & emotions influencing their verdicts. Somehow I thought a Judge hearing the evidence & determining the verdict would be different.)
