Former South African President Jacob Zuma failed to remove prosecutor Billy Downer in his arms deal corruption trial.
Former South African President Jacob Zuma lost his bid to remove State advocate Billy Downer as the prosecutor in his arms deal corruption trial. Zuma's application was dismissed by Judge Nkosinathi Chili of the Pietermaritzburg High Court, who ruled that he was not convinced Zuma would be prejudiced if Downer continued to prosecute the case. This marks the second time Zuma has attempted and failed to remove Downer from the trial.
