Advocate Barbie home for Christmas─── 13:36 Tue, 08 Dec 2009
Pretoria - Former advocate Suzanne Visser, or "advocate Barbie", will spend Christmas at home. Acting judge Chris Eksteen postponed Visser's trial to the 8th of February next year at the request of her advocate, Johan Engelbrecht. Engelbrecht told the High Court in Pretoria this morning the expert witnesses they intended calling were not yet ready to testify. The judge warned he would not allow any further delays as Visser had already been convicted two months ago. She was found guilty on 11 of the 14 sex related charges against her in October. Judge Eksteen rejected her claims that she had been a hapless pawn of her former boyfriend Dirk Prinsloo. He said she was a willing partner in the sexual abuse of three young girls from a children's home and three young women.
