 For myself, African President Jacob Zuma's application to have prosecutor Billy Downer removed from his arms deal case alleging he and other national persecuting authority, NPA officials had interfered in his persecution has been dismissed. And Peter Mauritsburg, George Peter Corn, dismissed the appeal saying it lacks reasonable prospects of success. Governor is the lead prosecutor in the trial of Zuma run charges of fraud, racketeering, money laundering and corruption, stemming from the 1999 arms deal.
