but if it wasn't seized and put into the inventory why would they have it although, I am assuming it should have been 

This is rather embarrassing for the state. Why is this becoming an issue now, months after OP testified?

ah...now I see the significance 

Nel is waffling because he hasn't got a clue what has happened to the lead.

there seems to be a real problem with collecting, storing and chain of evidence with exhibits in SA and the police   the lead and the door before 

I would have thought they would not be able to use the fans were not plugged in theory if they can't prove it 

 Like I've said before, this trial has shown the SA police to be incompetent idiots.

Nel: I wouldn't know where to look if the court should ask me #oscartrial Roux: it's too easy, it's not at the house...

Roux: "It's not at the house." That was the first place we tried to find it. #Pistorius

to be fair to Roux and in the interest of a fair trial - that cord should be there considering Gerrie used it in his cross 

But the court requires evidence, not theory.

Roux not letting cord issue slide. Takes aim at police, as it went missing while the house under their control. #OscarTrial #OscarPistorius

 Absolutely correct.

Judgy isn't letting Nel off the hook.

Roux: what the state should do is investigate who was in control of the house, who sealed it...why isn't the chord there? #oscartrial

someone's phone just went off 

Roux amplifying the defence's strongest point to date - police mishandling the crime scene.

Gerrie is in hot water and whoever the police officer was that sealed the house will be for the chop 

yes and I'm agreeing Yogi 

Nel is floundering.

#OscarTrial Roux: we have the photos to show you that the one day the cord is there, the next day it is not there. BB

Judgy very cross, Nel flustering and Van Aardt squirming in his seat 

 Naughty boys are in trouble.

with good right 

Nel says Col van Rensburg and W/o van Staden sealed the house. #oscartrial Judge: there was no burglary durian that time?

Judge Masipa says whether it helps Roux or not, it will help her: "I'm very unhappy. The house was locked and there was no burglary."

mebbe the mythical burglars nipped back to finish the job and left with the cord 

 That must be it.

I can hardly understand the lady who is swearing in the witnesses 

I never can...its the interpreter innit  

I have the same problem.

this is the point I was trying to make earlier although rather clumsily 

If I recall correctly Nel put it to OP that he wouldn't be able to move the fan to where he said he did, because cord not long enough

Where has Aimee gone - has she gone back to bed?

I mean our Aimee, not Oscar's sister.

probably - terrible juror - we'll have to come to a decision without her as she's missed the very vital evidence about the missing cord 

#OscarTrial Lin dealt with two questions - can a person distinguish male from female voice at 177m away from the source… BB

 I think we need to set her some homework, so she can catch up.

I'm starving. I want a tuna mayo sandwich.

although some of witnesses said they heard male and female voices,,,

I keep drinking for my throat and now I need a wee again #holdingitin 

I think while this bloke is on, now would be a good time to make one 

Lin says cultural background, languages and upbringing may influence perception of what's been heard... #oscartrial

 You could be right.

he's really interesting
