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: if you used paper it would have indicated better, because smaller particles would penetrate? 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!

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.

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
