FORMER apartheid chemical weapons expert Dr Wouter Basson’s trial had to be interrupted on Monday while he was rushed to the side of an advocate, Charlie Moore, who had collapsed in a nearby courtroom. An advocate from a nearby court rushed in to ask for his help and Basson helped to stabilise Moore. Basson fully briefed paramedics, who arrived at the court, before Moore was rushed to hospital. Basson is highly regarded in medical circles as a cardiologist. Basson is on trial for alleged crimes ranging from murder to conspiracy, fraud and drug trafficking. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.
