What follows below are the trial transcripts from the first criminal trial with questions and answers to and from the arresting drug policeman, one of his colleagues present at the search and also questions and answers to and from the magistrate who authorized the search warrant.

Magistrate Matthews was the Magistrate. Sylvester Vogel and William Fischer were representing Alan Hiebner. Norman Snitcher and Piet Mihalik represented Simon Prophet and Nicola Daniels. All of the accused put in pleas of not guilty. In this trial all were acquitted on grounds of a technicality when one of the assessors refused to participate further in the trial and the trial was set aside.

So in this trial who is right and who is wrong?

Scroll down to page 147 of the transcripts. It's not easy to get a policeman to admit in court that he's wrong but the admission of Captain Januarie of the drug police gave Magistrate Matthews no alternative but refer to the drug police conduct as being "reprehensible" and to rule in favor of the accused that the search warrant was invalid.

When this trial ended all of the accused were unlawfully subjected to suffer and endure a second criminal trial to cover the same ground covered in this first trial.

Simon Prophet paid two different legal teams to defend himself in two different criminal trials from the same arrest and the same charge so don't anyone try to argue that this is not double jeopardy.

Section 35(3)(m) of the Constitution expressly forbids for this to happen to an accused person yet in spite of the Constitution this did happen to three people who each were arrested only one time and this is bad but things compound and get worse when we witness the state instituting another case against Simon Prophet called a civil case which is actually a criminal allegation disguised under an umbrella of what is called a civil case against Simon Prophet stemming from the same criminal charge in the midst of the two criminal trials.

Obviously these three trials put the state's actions against Simon Prophet into the bracket of what is illegal.

What sinister motivation lies behind any judge or any advocate working for the state who does not recognize such blatant unlawfulness. To publicly label Simon Prophet as a criminal without due process does not entitle any judge to ignore these civil right violations.

Since no crime has been recorded against Simon Prophet then for state advocates or civil court judges to be saying in public that he is a criminal only adds fire to a charge against those who have flagrantly been violating the Constitution and Simon Prophet's basic civil rights.

Simon Prophet has done nothing wrong but the civil courts have punished him for being a criminal of a crime that does not exist.

Simon Prophet was charged for being a drug dealer but he was acquitted of that charge but that did not stop the state, under the disguise of fighting crime, from taking his dignity, his land, his home, his business, his cars, his possessions and kicking him into the street with nowhere to go.

The presumption of innocence is a non derogable law and even in a state of emergency no leverage exists that allows any judge or any panel of judges to override these supreme laws.

So now ask the question: How was it possible for the state to have punished Simon Prophet for a crime that does not exist?

Look at the facts that are being presented and in a moment anyone can see, it's obvious, you don't need to be a lawyer to know that there is something gravely wrong with this picture?

No drug related complaint has ever been brought against Simon Prophet from anyone in the general population. It is only the state and the drug police who are hell bent on convicting Simon prophet and destroying his life.

Compare their zealous determination against Simon Prophet versus Simon Prophet's complaint against Rodney de Kock of the National Prosecuting Authority.

A "alleged" crime was committed against Simon Prophet and he made a formal complaint to the police against de Kock of what is clearly a crime but lethargy played no role and the police actually refused to investigate.

When Simon Prophet complained to the Public Protector nothing came of that complaint. See CHAPTER FOURTEEN

The state have an unnatural  bias towards drug crimes compared to other crimes and "DRUG" is the magic word that allows police to engage brutality and "no disciplinary steps is recommended". See CHAPTER THIRTEEN

No member of the general public has ever made a drug related complaint against Simon Prophet and he was acquitted in two criminal drug trials and so then why was he punished but when he complained to the police about 4 crimes committed against me by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Rodney de Kock, then the police refused even to investigate his complaint?

Everyone is equal before the law is a Constitutional law or should we say "everyone is supposed to be equal before the law"? That is until someone decides that you are not equal.
