unless Uncle Arnie and Auntie Lois dip into their pockets, I think OP will be using legal aid soon 
the Pistorious family are loaded, I have a lot less doubt than you he's broke...two properties disappeared when he applied for bail 
Some folks have suggested that some of the defence witnesses/strategy may not have been Roux's idea.
it would be car crash TV Yogi...bring it on 
This trial is bringing out your 
side.
I think it might be the worst thing that will happen to him Yogi, sadly
Do you think he might get off?
I'm not sure Yogi, I hope not! I think whatever happened he deserves some punishment, the national hero status worries me 
Has the trial not changed that status at all?
I've said on here many times that SA forgive their heroes at the drop of a hat - think Hansie Cronje [chucking cricket games and getting the black or mixed raced players to take the risks], James Small [wife beater] James Dalton [tried to drown wife in swimming pool], Japie Mulder [interfered with his best friends 15 year old daughter] all forgiven and rehabilitated with indecent haste back into SA society except Hansie Cronje who is now dead due to his plane crashing into a mountain
He [OP] won't get back the success he had or the earning potential but he'll sell a book or two and try today to make money cos I reckon Barry has bled him almost dry
Barry is a man of honour, I'll have you know!
I don't doubt it but he's also a very very expensive lawyer 
Barry is a man of honour, I'll have you know!
he's a claims lawyer

I know the family are loaded but it's all OPs uncles money not via OPs dad Henke who seems to have p****d all his money away and whether the uncles will pay. I think OP is next to broke those houses of his are only worth about ÂĢ650,000 each at a push and Barry is about 20K a day and the trial has gone on for 7 weeks plus Who ate all the pies Oldwadge and the team and then the non expert experts - small change is all that's left
Uncle Arnie seems to have been very supportive.

In a way I hope so, it might be the punishment he deserves if he doesn't get a custodial sentence

If I was Roux, I would start that rumour myself

He's an honourable claims lawyer.
Yeah, I know, there's no such thing!
