I have things I need to do before I go out, so I'm afraid I will have to miss the rest of this enthralling testimony. See you later, everyone.
He appears to be getting more and more confused and agitated....I almost feel sorry for him..almost being the operative word...
Yogi..
I don't think he is a sound expert
Nel refers to a photo of a probe placed in Steenkamp's hip wound by Professor Gert Saayman, the state pathologist, during the autopsy. Based on the photograph, Wolmarans in his report concluded that the trajectory was upwards. Nel wonders why he did not consult with Dr Reggie Perumal, the defence pathologist, who was present at the autopsy (Wolmarans was not there). The witness says he never got the opportunity to ask him.
(Dr Perumal has not been called by the defence to give evidence.)
aren't the rumours that he excused himself from the Defence witness list? think cos he agreed with much of the State and refused to tailor alter his findings to agree with the Defence theory
Nel: the decibel tests, did you see the report? #oscartrial Wolmarans: even if I had it, I wouldn't know how to interpret it.
so his photos and notes are one and the same - eh?
WW has given evidence MANY times before but even he is needled by Nel's interrogation style, complaining in break re being accused of lying
interesting more interesting than his testimony
Nel: if you used paper it would have indicated better, because smaller particles would penetrate? #oscartrial Wolmarans: that how I did it..
I don't think Wollie is dishonest, I just don't think he's been thorough enough hope he's being paid a shed load of money because no one in their right mind would employ this bloke to give 'expert' testimony ever again!
#Wolmarans investigated himself from cartridge cases removed from the scene what ammo was used by #OscarPistorius #sabcnews
#OscarPistorius Nel mistakenly calls Wolmarans captain, WW - I haven't been one for a while. Nel - shows I've known you for a while
#oscartrial Wolmarans: how can the bullet land into the toilet? Nel: ricochet...it went from her back into toilet...
Nel's got his ducks in a row
but now we've got bullets that weren't friends with the gun - antisocial barstewards the lot of them
As Wollie Wolmarans talks about his hearing disability, Roux basically covers his face with his hand, is just staring at his witness.
Nel: "But when you started, you said you were someone who would fix firearms, work on firearms..." How could you let this happen?
Poor guy - nothing works for him
#oscartrial Wolmarans said it was fresh ammunition from a dealer, he couldn't fix it in the dark without his tools...
I shouldn't laugh

It's farcical Pengy.
#OscarPistorius Nel calls Wolmarans Captain again. Follows it up with: "Ag Captain, I apologise"
I love the way SAs say Ag
Here is how Wollie is doing today.
we've got another adjournment till Monday if it pleases the court

brilliant

Court adjourns for the day
And Nel swings back to the magazine rack issue (chop-and-change questioning is clearly his chosen technique today).
If Steenkamp fell on to the magazine rack, causing the mark on her back, but was found with her head slumped over the toilet, she would have had to have got up, Nel says.
Wolmarans says she was falling as the last shot was fired, then could have been seated on the floor.
And with that, Nel asks if the court can adjourn until Monday morning. The judge agrees.
Roux asks if sensitive photos can be removed from Wolmarans' report so that copies of report can be given to media. #oscartrial
#OscarTrial these are photos of the deceased taken during the autopsy. BB
Later Pengy, Loving Nel's work .

Guilty Conscience
didn't shower
sitting in the cubicle
for long hours
didn't shower
and blood
is still on hands
and feet are still riddled
with dirt
staining cheap
carpet floorprint
afraid to touch
anything
coworkers peer
over
their fabric palisades
eyes burning holes
through ripped shirt
and crooked tie
head down
don't exist
no one has to
know a thing
didn't shower
hair is manged and
disoriented
I can feel blood
drip off fingertips
pat - pat - pat
on bland slate
carpet design
can't concentrate
didn't shower
everyone stares
black eye
swollen and scabbed
everyone knows
have to
it's all puddling at feet
washing with the dirt
look away
goddamn look away!
head is severed
on the mahogany finish desk
black eye bulged
black and purple tennis ball
everyone gathers
whispers whispers
jaw opens
teeth fall out
pat - pat - pat
no one says anything
look away look away
look away
get up to leave
the head stays there
dark souvenir
quick drive
home
shower
hours melt away
infirmities recede
sink back below skin
didn't shower
everyone knew
what happened
last night
but now
no evidence
no witnesses
no one knows
the perfect crime
a cruel smile
emerges on
bare white teeth
as night sets in once again
Shots in a row... how appropriate
Brilliant!!! wish I had thought of that ...drat
