I still think that she should be heard as a witness. There are possibilities to question witnesses outside court. I believe in the name of justice and when a young man's future is at stake, this should be possible. Royalty or not. If he loses, but his story was the accurate one, then not only will he be unjustly punished, but this will haunt him for the rest of his life. Sure, he shouldn't have blown his temper in the first place, but Daniel should have avoided a confrontation as well. None of them is without fault, but one of them risks to have his life destroyed, if not all aspects are being considered. I wouldn't want that on my conscience, whether I like the guy or not. And 6 months is rather high when you consider what other people here do. There was a case were a German billionaire was convicted of human slavery (words of the prosecutor), by keeping one of her employees virtually imprisoned in her appartment for a year or so. She only managed to get in contact with the concierge who alarmed the authorities. The woman got 3 months parole and had to pay a small sum of money (roughly the prize of a bottle of champagne in some of the local venues). Her employee was sent back to Poland because she was working without a permit (which would have been the employers obligation to provide). Just to put things into perspective.
