Thabo Bester says the High Court ruling against him represents a significant miscarriage of justice

# Convicted serial rapist and murderer Thabo Bester says the Free State High Court judgment against him in February has created a dangerous precedent, that would create judicial chaos in law. He has approached the Constitutional Court to seek leave to appeal the High Court ruling, which dismissed his challenge on the alleged poor conditions of his imprisonment. Bester’s legal team says it would be a travesty of justice if a judgment on the conditions of his imprisonment was left unchallenged.
