he'll have a field day  

more evidence of preferential treatment for OP 

don't think the journalists are happy...I've read little snippets of what was banned..can't see anything in it to warrant it so far Pengy 

Final defence witnesses
The Daily Telegraph suggests that another psychologist and potentially some friends of Pistorius and Steenkamp could also be called.

Final arguments
Once the defence has brought its final witnesses and closed its case, both sides will have the opportunity to present their arguments as to why Pistorius should or should not be convicted. According to*ABC News, the trial could be postponed for as long as six weeks to give the lawyers time to prepare their final written arguments. These documents will explain in detail each side’s version of events on the night of the shooting and how the evidence presented in court supports their account. The documents will be given to the judge, her assessors and the opposing sides. Both the defence and prosecution will also put their arguments verbally to the court.

Judgement
The case will be adjourned, possibly for a few weeks, to give Judge Masipa and her assessors time to consider the final written documents and the evidence they have heard in court. South Africa abolished jury trials under apartheid in 1969, due to fears of racial prejudice by white jurors. A judgement will therefore be passed by Masipa, who could take a day or more in court giving her summary and analysis of the evidence.

Sentencing
If Pistorius is found guilty then the court must consider an appropriate sentence. Both sides are entitled to present arguments or evidence for a longer or shorter sentence. If convicted of premeditated murder, the athlete faces up to 25 years in prison.

Hang him

*looks for rope*  Frank...will breakfast be on time tomorrow? 

I didn't get up until 9-00 this morning, so i doubt it

  we can hang on half an hour 

But..but it maybe midday tomorrow

we'll settle for brunch  

Okay then

Neal is a South African born ex-England player but this made me laugh

#oscartrial BULLSHIT OF THE DAY: "he covers his head and cowers when fireworks go off". Yup, then drives off at 180kmh and shoots zombies.

morning all 

*looks around for brekkie - can't find it so opens a bag of crisps*

looks around sniffs for bacon  makes do with coffee 

Morning Pengy,...how much bullsh$t will we get today on the scale of 1 to ten 

some not happy with yesterday's testimony and can you blame them 

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/d...ps/story?id=24401355

#OscarTrial all the parties are here. We might get going soon. Oscar has just called Arnold over for a chat. BB

looks like we'll be a go soon 

some saying this is the last witness  I hope Oldboringfart is nearly finished 

I'm not surprised - as if the perception of disabled people isn't bad enough we get this BS 

and I don't think you cab compare OP with most disabled people 

there is seriously nothing he wouldn't trash in order to get off - disabled people, his mother's memory, friends reputations, polar bears FFS 

Here we come to the point of Derman testimony: responding to state questioning #OscarPistorius decision to approach danger

#OscarTrial Oldwadge reading OP cross exam, when Nel said it didnt make sense that OP felt vulnerable but approached danger

I know 

you've mentioned polar bears and he's off again  The Tie and Martin whatsits reckon they will ignore this testimony 

#OscarPistorius Oldwadge terms it an "anomaly" that OP would approach danger even when he feels vulnerable"

I keep getting error messages 

Derman says it's akin to a mother approaching a danger animal (think the ref yesterday was polar bear) to protect her kids.

we're back to polar bears 

I'm not getting an error message...as yet  Why is this guy being used like an expert in everything 

Oldwage is quoting from Nel's cross-examination of #OscarPistorius - seeking to show Nel's certainties misplaced.

flee is not an option - you're taking the proverbial 

I think OP should be sentenced to spend 10 years sharing a cell with Oldfatface 

as if they are going to believe that,,,of bloody course it was an option and for most people vulnerable or not...the most obvious one 

where did the tie say this?  *pricks up ears*

How dare Birmingham city council deliver a green recycling tub during the trial especially as I didn't order it - I took it any way 

Genetics, neuroscience, sports science, psychology, disability studies. Sho.

he was on Sky catch up going by DS...last night I think  I've downloaded the last two episodes to check  *drools* 

you're very luck we get a nice shade of lilac plastic bags 

his range of knowledge is unbelievable  bit like Roger rocks, he covers everything,,,,why is he being questioned on these things? 

I've just downloaded it from Ondemand 

As a disabled person myself I'm getting more and more ticked by this guys testimony - he started off as very credible but it's just descended into farce 

Makes me laugh that he's using evidence that was supplied over night from Harvard University - nothing like being prepared 

I did them both this morning 

FFS, the two most boring men on the effing planet are in the same room together and demanding our listening time...this guy is a condescending t@@t and I hope his testimony is taken in the spirit it was given...like b@llox ...he's really winding me up, its like he's addressing a room full of nursery children.
