Defence: "Mr Rohde flew down specially to Cape Town to give a demonstration and to take you as IO through events that happened at Spier and to point out where they happened, and he was denied that opportunity."
Investigating officer says that Rohde's attorney said at the time that nothing further was going to be pointed out and they will supply him with a statement. "And I am still waiting for that statement up until today."
Defence asks why it was necessary to arrest Jason in early hours of morning at his home with his young children nearby, when he had been cooperative. IO says he received a tip-off that Jason was planning to leave the country and he wanted to act quickly.
Defence: Jason was cooperative and handed over passports, laptop and insurance policies he had. His arrest came as huge surprise because he agreed he would come in at any time if needed.
Defence to IO: When Jason asked why you were arresting him suddenly at home, you said "Tell Mihalik [lawyer] I don’t make arrests on fu*king appointment”. IO disputes that. Defence: Of course you would.
