The Breakfast team is very annoyed about something that happened around the Oscar trial, a couple of thousand miles away!

There is a prominent American lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, who made some outrageous claims about the Oscar case, but further, he made what we consider extremely offensive remarks about South Africa.

Alan Dershowitz has been involved in several high-profile legal cases and was the appellate adviser for the defence in the O.J. Simpson murder trial in 1995.

Dershowitz is known as a 'distinguished defender of individual rights' and ‘the best-known criminal lawyer in the world’

Take a look at Alan Dershowitz classifying South Africa as a ‘failed country’, a lawless country and a country with deep, deep racial divisions.
