I never heard of judge Erasmus until this trial. My neighbors have been talking about him how brilliant he is. And i saw it for myself watching this trial . He's just brilliant. We need more judges like him. He's been sick long of this flu. But pressure of this trial can also do that. Hope he feel much better by next week. We will get justice for little joshlin . Lets us all pray together for her🙏 and im sure we all are.
