\u201cEk is nie \u2019n springbokkie nie, en ek sal my hofsaak bywoon,\u201d het Diego Stevens (33) Dinsdag 3 Maart in sy borgtogaansoek in die Atlantis-landdroshof ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stevens, die bestuurder van die motor na bewering die lewe van die vyfjarige Mickayla Galant ge\u00ebis het, het in sy borgtogaansoek getuig, maar wou nie aan die hof sy weergawe vertel van die gebeure op die noodlottige oggend nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stevens het egter volgehou dat hy nie Galant se dood veroorsaak het nie. “Dit was ‘n ongeluk,” het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die verdedigingsadvokaat en die staatsaanklaer wou by hom weet of hy enigiets vir die oorledene se familie te s\u00ea het, waarop hy \u201cnee\u201d geantwoord het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die verdediging het ook \u2019n petisie met meer as tweehonderd handtekeninge ingedien waarin familie en vriende van Stevens vra dat hy op borgtog vrygelaat word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luidens die petisie is die verdagte “\u2019n mense-mens”, maar die staat het geantwoord dat hy die teenoorgestelde wys deurdat hy geen berou toon nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens sers. Ello Hendricks, ondersoekbeampte, verkeer die verdagte in lewensgevaar omdat familie en vriende van die oorlede kind ges\u00ea het hulle sal die reg in eie hande neem indien Stevens borgtog kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens die staat is die verdagte ‘n gevaar vir die gemeenskap. Hy het al verskeie vorige botsings met die gereg gehad en het ook die toneel van ‘n ongeluk verlaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die uiteinde van die borgtogaansoek, wat Woensdag 5 Maart voortgesit is, het die oorledene se familie laat glimlag – Stevens is borgtog geweier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Lemicah Galant, Mickayla se ma, het die landdros se uitspraak vir haar verligting gebring.
Sy het emosioneel buite die hof ges\u00ea Stevfens verdien om binne te bly omdat hy gevoelloos voorkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die saak is tot Dinsdag 5 Mei uitgestel. Die verdagte bly tot dan in aanhouding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
