Zuma s special plea application could delay trial further: Legal expert Updated Nushera Soodyal Share this: A legal expert believes the latest move by former president Jacob Zuma in his corruption trial is a delay tactic. ROGAN WARD / POOL / AFP The trial in the Pietermaritzburg High Court was adjourned to next week Wednesday because Zuma s legal team wants to bring an application for the recusal of lead prosecutor, Advocate Billy Downer. The court also heard Zuma intends pleading not guilty to the charges of fraud, corruption and money laundering relating to the multi-billion rand arms deal. Lasanthan Pillay from Pillay Cohen Attorneys says the special plea is an extremely technical application.
