RMG End Time Message Church leader Robert Martin Gumbura should be judged on the facts established in his case without the influence of the people's moral opinions that are not supported by law.

Addressing the court in Gumbura's bail application, Advocate Thembinkosi Magwaliba said fears by the State that his client's release on bail might cause public outcry was not a good ground to deny him bail when he has a good case at law.

Adv Magwaliba argued that media reports at times may not be accurate and are meant to sell hence the agenda they set should not be considered as good grounds to deny Gumbura his right to liberty as enshrined in the Constitution.

Adv Magwaliba said even if it was to be accepted that what Gumbura did was morally wrong, it does not translate the acts to be legally wrong.
