True. The statement presents factual information about the actions of the accused, including her admission regarding the allocation of funds, the testimony about the money being placed in an investment account, and the evidence of bank statements. It does not express personal opinions or subjective interpretations, making it an objective statement.
True or false: the following is an objective statement.
The accused admitted that she, in her capacity as the payroll officer, allocated herself R15 000 per month in addition to her monthly salary of R32 174. She testified that the money was placed in an investment account as a slush fund, but that this money remained untouched. This is also shown by bank statements relating to the investment account. The defendant is therefore indicted for theft, but not for embezzlement.
