a bit like Lin's testimony - the guy knows he's stuff but where is the relevance except to show how difficult it is to mobilise on prosthetics???? 

so the parasympathetic system - flight or fight syndrome and why OP shot RS   would be automatic according to him 

you can tell I'm bored by this dry testimony cos I'm back to following what Gerrie Nel Not is saying 

Someone stick a cracker up Oldwadge's ass #OscarTrial

its sodding boring 

oh right...so trained athlete's are allowed to shoot willy-nilly, got ya  

#OscarTrial Derman: discusses the role of a team doctor - establish a relationship of trust to care for the athletic in a holistic way.

I'm guessing OPs entire “putative self-defence” strategy rests on showing he genuinely feared for his life and that his response was reasonable. 

Starting to get the feeling that at least some of this super expert CV testimony is as much for the media's benefit as the court's

God I'm good

Got a feeling this evidence is going to go to the root of OP's putative defence. Extreme vulnerability consequent to disability. Not GAD.

Does anyone know why this witness has been called? #clutchingatstraws

that's what all of us are wondering 

character witness 

it wasn't the devil that made him do it  it was his disability  Blessings 

think Roux let Oldwage deal with this whilst he goes for a kip 

Seems they were close. Hope he doesn't go down the character evidence lane. Keep medical doctor.

I fear he will 

I totally get that his left stump might prove problematic due to infections and skin slippage and he must obviously be in pain and at risk of infection but that doesn't make him more susceptible to chest infections and allergies??? 

I hope he does which will nullify his evidence 

pity he didn't have a tremor of his hands when he shot through the door 

Gotta say since the days of Dixon, the quality of defence experts has improved radically.

@DavidDadic I have a fond affection for Roger Rocks and the Wolmarans of Love!

tea break 

Oscar's entire pre-shooting public image built on strength and invulnerability. Now his future rests on painting him as a trembling wreck

Here we go. Anxiety of a competing disabled athlete higher than abled body people.

they never answer though cos these SA journos aren't interested in our thoughts 

how rude 

except Charl - he answers me 

he's maybe no buds   

he's very popular is Charl - works for City Press news corp in SA 

I know Pengy 

didn't know the computer with the recorded interview on had been nicked from the reporter,,,now we know where Frank was 

ha ha ha !!!!! 

I think I am going to lose the will to live listening to this guy 

I was gonna tweet it but not everyone will see the humour in it 

I had hoped he was finished but then remembered Nel hadn't cross- examined him 

I would understand why  

yes
