I think the experts Roux put forward are crap and Roux of all people should have known these reports would have been ripped to shreds
I'm convinced in the year from the shooting to this trial [unusual that OP got his trail so quickly as most have to wait approximately 2 years to come to trial] Barry would have mounted a defence based on what he knew then - all of what he probably had to use, would have been worthless thanks to OPs testimony - can't 100% blame Barry as OP ticked up the case for him but I would have thought he could have got a bit better bang for his buck
OP definitely turned things on their head.
In the early days of the trial, I read that the defence team were asked if they were going to put Oscar on the stand, and they replied, we have no option. Doesn't sound like they were happy for him to give testimony - and now we know why.
