Violent Prison Sex

The convict, Patrick Botlhasitse, who was slapped with a 12-year sentence by Justice Barnabas Nyamadzabo of Francistown High Court in 2012,  appeared before a three-man Court of Appeal (CoA) bench on Friday. Botlhasitse said the trial had failed in convicting him despite agreeing with most of his testimony.

He wants immediate acquittal and discharge. His lawyer, Reneetswe Rabasotho submitted that evidence led before court during trial was sufficient to grant acquittal and discharge as his client acted purely to protect himself from the deceased as he attacked him demanding anal sex commonly known as ‘maotwana’ in prison corridors.
