His lawyer, Hugo Rossouw, argued that exceptional circumstances existed to warrant his release, as he had been on medication for depression since 1989. Prosecutor Nico Breyl said the state was opposing bail, and that it had a strong case against Dietricht. Magistrate Hafiza Mohamed is to deliver judgment on 22 September.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.capeargus.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=5168595">Full Cape Argus report (subscription needed)</a><br /><br /></font></div>
