    Script:

    UPSOUND: (English) Sean Rens, Fire arms facilitator:

    "When the burglars who are stealing your hi-fi become aware of your presence they turn and order you to go away or they will kill you, you are behind a security gate ten metres away. Can you discharge a firearm at them because you fear for your life?"

    UPSOUND: (English) Gerri Nel, Prosecutor:

    "And the accused answered?"

    UPSOUND (English) Sean Rens Firearms facilitator:

    "No, my lady."

    UPSOUND: (English) Sean Rens, Firearms facilitator:

    "There is no security gate between you and the burglars, and they turn around and both are armed, one with a knife and the other with a firearm in his hands and they advance towards you. Can you discharge a firearm at them because you fear for you life?"

    UPSOUND: (English) Gerri Nel, Prosecutor:

    "And he answered?"

    UPSOUND: (English) Sean Rens, Firearms facilitator:

    "Yes, my lady."
