Dina 'could be acquitted'

Cape Town - Dina Rodrigues, the alleged mastermind in the murder of baby Jordan-Leigh Norton, has a strong chance of being acquitted, the Cape High Court heard on Thursday.
She applied for bail a second time, before Judge Burton Fourie, after the revocation of her bail earlier this year for allegedly sending threatening SMS messages to the dead infant's father, Neil Wilson.
Her counsel John van den Berg told the court the State claimed to have had an overwhelming case against her, but that he had told her there was a strong possibility of her acquittal.
"If the State, in fact, had a strong case, the defence had broken it down during cross examination," he said.
Rodrigues is alleged to have contracted her four co-accused to murder the baby as a solution to maintenance claims against Wilson.
The case is continuing.
