The Modus Operandi of the Trial of Heinrich van Rooyen

Adv. Terry Price 
For reasons which become obvious by going through the court records and the letters from Lunen Meyer to Mr van Rooyen during the investigation and the trial, Lunen Meyer persuaded and coerced Mr van Rooyen Snr to postpone the case so that Adv Van Der Vyver could be available for the trial, knowing that Trollip and his henchmen had worked hard to tamper with evidence in the Inge Lotz case in Cape Town in which Adv Van Der Vyver prosecuted and lost the case.   The same modus operandi took place in Heinrich van Rooyen’s trial and it is remiss that the defense team of Adv Terry Price lost the case, as the defense team won the Inge Lotz case and the accused walked free.  Heini’s trial was a travesty of justice created by all those involved in the investigation and the trial.  The trial judge, Adv, N Erasmus was biased and unreasonable - another human rights abuse.  Too much emphasis was also placed on the fact that Heini danced, went out with and was friendly with white girls, causing the trial to have an undertone of racism. This too is a human rights abuse.
