Woman wants plea deal on racist rant at police officers
The Durban woman whose k-word tirade directed at black law enforcement officers was caught on a cellphone recording wants to plead guilty to the charges she is facing, says a TimesLIVE report. Vicki Momberg's lawyer‚ Nardus Grove‚ told the Randburg Magistrate’s Court that his client wants to enter into a plea agreement with the state. ‘My instruction is to enter into a possible plea. We are waiting for an (psychologist) expert report‚’ Grove said.
He asked the case to be postponed until November for him to prepare the plea agreement. State prosecutor Yusuf Baba did not object to the postponement‚ but argued that it was unfair for the defence to ask for such a long postponement. ‘I’m ready. I’ve done in-depth research. We know what we want. There are no guarantees the state will agree to the plea agreement.’ The parties agreed for the matter to be postponed to 18 October and for the defence to file the plea agreement and the expert’s report on 10 October.
