In South Africa, a judge threw out a "high-profile" murder case. Shrien Dewani was accused of killing his wife while on their honeymoon, but the judge claims the state's case is too weak for conviction. The state accused Dewani of hiring hit men to kill his wife, but he pleaded not guilty. The fact that witnesses accounts contradicted didn't help the states cause. Overall, it seems that until a strong lead is brought up, the case will not be handled.
This is horrible. A person's life was lost and a judge threw out a case that could have possibly brought light to what happened. I understand the judge didn't think there was enough evidence, but there has to be something else that could be done besides throwing out the case. Dewani's wife was a person who's rights were violated; it's a shame that someone in a position to seek justice did not choose to.
