Nel saying that certain factual questions may be asked of the report, could only mean he feels OP lied either on the stand or to the doctors

I hate these demonstrations with Oscar on his stumps. The last one appeared acutely embarrassing for him.

 

I'd have to agree with Charl on this however, if he states he has difficulties, then maybe we need to see what these difficulties are????  Must be demeaning for OP though

The woman who requested to address the Pretoria Magistrates Court on the “mental state” of murder accused athlete Oscar Pistorius, claims she was instructed to do so by his mother.

The woman, who identified herself as "Annamarie, last name uncertain, previously Riethmiller" in court on Thursday, has since filed papers with the Constitutional Court to have her application heard, the Saturday Star reported.

According to the report, she said she was contacted in a dream by Pistorius' mother Sheila, who told her to make sure Pistorius was sent for psychiatric evaluation.

She interrupted proceedings during Pistorius' bail application on Thursday.

After being rebuffed by the magistrate, she approached the High Court with her request to halt the bail application, but this court also rejected her application.

She claimed that the denial of her application, by Magistrate Desmond Nair, was a constitutional matter.
The woman was unsure when the Constitutional Court would hear the matter, but was returning to the United States on Saturday.

According to the document "Annamarie" handed to lawyers for the State and defence, the "urgent" motion, she wanted Pistorius to be placed under independent psychiatric observation for 60 days.

She also wanted Nair removed.

Pistorius is charged with murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day.
On Friday Nair granted Pistorius bail of R1million.

Annamarie claims to be the ex-wife of Dr Gerald Versfeld, who amputated Pistorius' legs when he was a child. She believed Pistorius had had a mental breakdown.

Pistorius must live with conscience

Meanwhile Steenkamp’s father has told Beeld that Pistorius would have to live with his conscience.

"It doesn't matter how much money he has and how good his legal team is, he will have to live with his conscience if he allows his legal team to lie for him," Barry Steenkamp told the newspaper.

"But if he is telling the truth then perhaps I can forgive him one day.

"If it didn't happen the way he said it did, he must suffer, and he will sufferâ€Ķ only he knows."

Pistorius has denied murdering her, saying he thought there was an intruder in his home.

Her mother June Steenkamp said she was "cried empty" and wanted to finish grieving for her daughter, and get used to not having her in her life.

According to the report, the family had received a bouquet and a card from the Pistorius family.
"Yes, but what does it mean?" asked June.

"But also, his sister Aimee, did nothing wrong, and also his parentsâ€Ķthey must be shattered. They are not to blame," she said.

The family hopes to eventually establish a trust fund in their daughter's memory to provide assistance to abused women.

Is Annemarie not the full shilling?

or he could have been on his prostheses Yogi 

 Although I thought everyone was now agreed that he was on his stumps when he fired the shots?

I'm not entirely convinced Yogi and I don't think they were in bed neither 

I'm not entirely convinced of anything any more, this trial has made my head spin!

Versfeld: Oscar relies on sight to see where his legs are. This explains why his balance is worse in the dark. BB

 

not sure I believe this - I think over the years he would have adapted light or no light 

I'm not sure that I disbelieve it, Pengy. I know that my balance isn't as good in the pitch dark and I have fully functioning legs.
