I just phoned oscar and said 'oscar you're mentally f*cked' he said 'how do you sleep at night' #OscarTrial

@GerrieNel_Not he's sent dust bunnies to sort you out - careful now!

If Roux is close to closing we've had no evidence of the massive police tampering as yet. OP testified an expert would come.

I've waited for this throughout the defence witnesses. I think OP blew it when it was proven that the fans could not have been where he said they were and then couldn't remember 

but the poor little lamb couldn't remember things due to his GAD 

#oscartrial Vorster: his sexual relationships appear short. He functioned socially, but not optimally...

ouch! 

Grabbing at defences 

so Reeva's days were numbered, whichever way it ended 

#OscarPistorius Nel: Did not have intention to shoot Reeva, but did have intention to shoot somebody? (Looong silence follows)

far too long a pause - great question Nel 

Nel: In court he denied he fired at the noise. There must be red lights for you? Vorster: It seems there are inconsistencies #OscarTrial

yes...she's changed her answer from yesterday 

Does #GAD stand for Grabbing at defences? @GerrieNel_Not #OscarTrial #OscarPistorius #Pistorius

.@penguinoni i think oscar has GAS 'Grabbing At Straws' #OscarTrial

coffee 

Gad

Gonna av diarrhea 

where's Frank Moonie when you need him 

*walking the dogs, hoovering and moving fans...oh and tiling the bathroom* 

hope he's finished digging the big hole needed for Barry and Oldage to go in - hope he's ordered some nice landscaping from the money they stole from charged OP 

I just can't see how this witnesses is helping the defence, if I was the gorgeous Gerrie I would let the referral thing drop. He's well and truly hammered everything about the diagnosis  

BBC's Andrew Harding just twittered that when Nel says "what I find interesting ..." he means "I don't believe you ....". Astute. 

 just read this

Nel 'What's that smell?'.........


Ahh.....It's bullshit m'lady

psych-he-atric  love the way he said that 

as the court pleases we're back in session 

very 

Love the way @GerrieNel_Not says psych-he-atric #goosebumps

As the court pleases a 10 minute adjournment for Roux doesn't have a clue 

he's off to see where Old Age put it 

So if Roux takes an hour or so we'll be at lunch and Nel will make his application for referral this pm.If he makes it-some believe he won't

flipping Tie thing still isn't up on Sky's on demand - could have watched it during lunch 

I feel roux is in a quandary here. Does he emphasize the diagnosis and face possible referral? Or does he go with it to elevate defence?

back again 

I know - got a jolt when I heard them all come back in as it was silent before  jumped up just like Gerrie 

#oscartrial Vorster reads cautionary statement from DSM5 that the manual shouldn't be used in forensic settings.

#OscarTrial Roux reads the record where Vorster said she doesn’t consider GAD as a mental illness in terms of the Criminal Procedure Act. BB

much the same as her testimony...she's been duped 

Criticisms of DSM 5 is that big pharma had too much input in its revision, and that it plays to a desire to "medicalise" human behaviour

Am looking to get Vorster to clarify views about whether Oscar needs, or court would benefit from, further mental observation #BarryRoux

  he's trying desperately to avoid it cos his client would be found out as the liar he is 

GAD would not "render you unfit to stand trial," says Vorster shoring up the defence's argument that Oscar doesnt need evaluation #BarryRoux

Old Age must have pressed the wrong switch, the lights went off 

so Dr Vorster's get out clause is 'it's for the court to decide' bit like Oscar's I don't know M'lady 

yes...some of the statements she made were incredible. he was 11 months when he developed GAD and was coping well with it by 17 months
