Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega has refused to accept evidence
that many Marikana victims were shot in the back and side.
Advocate George Bizos says autopsy reports would prove this.
He says this contradicts the police's self-defence theory - but Phiyega said she hasn't seen the reports -
And hasn't been briefed.
