In mitigation of sentencing, the defense lawyer Piet Du Plessis for Brickz told the court not to hand down a sentence merely to satisfy the outcry of society, which may not be rational. As part of the argument in court, the defence reminded the court that Brickz was already serving his punishment for disappointing his fans and destroying his musical career.
