Today's trial 13th May

Sunshine and showers here Dameee. Bring us something nice back

I need a 30 day break. #OscarPistorius

Will the real defense team please stand up, please stand up, please stand up! *eyeballs Uncle arnold* #OscarPistorius @OscarTrial199

It's descending in to farce, methinks

Just had one of these. 

So the argument that Vorster testified to was that OP would have been compromised by his fear of being intruded upon. Yet he was happy to have his balcony door open but locked his bedroom door whilst Reeva was there? Either way his testimony was inconsistent then? Still stacking up badly for the accused. 

Strong Irish tea for me please Frank moonie, drop of milk one sugar. 

'And the people all said down, sit down you're rocking the boat'. 

Morning 

I've just watched bit of Dr Vorsters testimony again and how carefully she worded her answers on Nels second day of cross! 

It's very bias towards OP in my opinion, noticeably when Nel asked her about the patio doors, she did make sure that she felt 'if he was living with someone he might leave the doors open knowing someone else was going to lock them' I'd go as far as saying she was tailoring her reply to fit OP's defence  

Reading on the net, most legal experts think Judgie will not grant this order, although Roux intends to bring another witness in to testify about OP's mental state and his flight or fight response. I hope if she doesn't grant it, she takes on board how many times the defence changed its take on the night and Nel stated already he can't have three different defences...Roux would have us believe OP wasn't there it was Frank in the bloody bedroom next 

Off for a shower before it begins 

absolutely your Dameship   morning everyone 

I'm fully expecting either Frank Moonie to be blamed or June Steenkamp for having given birth to Reeva 

I don't think Judgie will grant it either 

caught up with the OP catch up with the Tie - what the feck is it with these SA men - a black suit = fine, a silver and white tie = fine but a fecking black shirt to top it off - do their women allow them to go out like that so every other woman thinks they're such a terrible dresser they're unfanciable?  wrong they just look ridiculous sexy but ridiculous 

See they've sent Emma Hurd back to SA to cover Alex Crawford's former role 

whose turn it it for brekkie?  Frank Moonie? 

I think she's going to give it. Seems the better option in terms of the greater picture of the trial as a whole. Also err on side of caution

David going against the grain 

#OscarTrial if the application fails, the trial will resume with Barry Roux calling his next witness. BB

#OscarTrial Roux’s next witness is Oscar’s orthopaedic surgeon Dr Gerry Versfeld, the ex-husband of Annemarie [no-last-name]. BB

Morning Pengy 

I looked on catch up and couldn't find the Tie, looked this morning too and no Tie 

I hope the judge allows it after thinking about I Pengy, I know it would mean a mental institution rather than jail if he's found to be mentally unstable...but can you imagine those places, its not going to be a cushy 5 star private ward and the stigma attached for him  better than him walking free with a slap on the wrists  Win win for Nel I think 

Frank Moonie was putting his alarms on  

Aimee's gone on strike  I hope her Internets sorted 

well he didn't flee 

mores the pity 

About to find out if #OscarPistorius is going to the mental institution.

bloomin' slaves and unpaid servants  hired staff - just don't want to do their jobs properly 

its not on the red button yet 

no not started yet because

#OscarTrial counsel has been called to chambers. BB

I know...I think Frank Moonie overslept again  Bad enough he slept through a bloody murder, but to be late with brekkie is unforgivable 

she might be asking a point of law and that means she's not decided cos she hasn't a clue 

It’s a big day today, the ever-professional and dashing Beeb correspondent @BBCAndrewH turns “27” today. Hip, hip, comrade.

BB is in a good mood 

or she could be telling them her decision before she announces it officially 

Morning from Day 31 of the Oscar trial. Both Barry Roux and Gerrie Nel have returned from the judge's chambers looking grim-faced.

#OscarTrial Roux appears resigned, perhaps disappointed. Very little response from Oscar. BB

wonder if she's granted it then 

which is probably more likely, but I liked to run with my own take on it 

judgie straightens her bun and covers her ass 

Uncle Arnold, unable to contain his impatience, has gone over to Barry Roux to be briefed. Roux is shaking his head and shrugging.

I've inherited Yogi's sensible head while she's away 

looks as if he won't be gadding about for much longer 

the journos are all concerned cos it's running a whole 15 minutes late now 

don't you start   Yogi's probably arranged this so she sees the end of the trial
