Not likely, as he didn't write that having occurred at all. I'll share a copy/paste from the article.
> Thirteen years later, in 1980, I went to Police Headquarters in Harare and asked where I could find Detective-Inspector Ronald Stanley Peters, retired maybe. President Robert Mugabe had become Prime Minster and had released all of us….common criminal and freedom-fighter. I was told by the white officer behind the counter that Inspector Peters had retired and now lived in Bulawayo. I asked to speak to him on the telephone. The officer dialed his number and explained why he was calling. I was given the phone, and spoke to the Superintendent, the rank he had retired on. We agreed to meet in two days time at his house at Matshe-amhlophe, a very up-market suburb in Bulawayo. I travelled to Bulawayo by train, and took a taxi from town to his home.
@Matthew, either English isn't your first language or you're clearly delusional. Either way, you should seek help, but that's entirely up to you.
From the former insurgents own words above there was no judge involved in his journey after the trial. The police at the headquarters didn't give him the address of the retired detective inspector, or his phone number. The detective inspector invited him up himself after a desk sergeant called the detective inspector, it appears to have been an understandably awkward meeting. (img.bulawayo24.com)
However, I'm sure any reasonable person can agree that the poor dumb bunny was given the truth in such a way that he couldn't deny that he'd wasted time and energy taking up arms against the Rhodesians.
