Derman: I don't have a lived experience of disability...I've been studying this for 6 yrs; don't believe I understand it fully #OscarTrial

yet he feels qualified enough to testify about it 

I think this guy needs assessed in Weskopies 

Judgie and advisers are back to playing hangman 

did you see M'lady jerk her head when he addressed her...she deffo was nodding off 

Derman: disability impacts nearly every aspect of your life. @eNCAnews #OscarTrial

I do agree with this - for instance I can't go anywhere without planning where a loo is   but you adapt and get used to making different plans over time 

tweet 

And in those tests the psyche was affected biologically. So he's in fact giving psyche evid. based on test results. Nel will still test him

talk about over egging the pudding 

#Oscartrial Derman, the final witness, seems to have been brought in to remind the court that OP is not a "normal" defendant - disability

that's exactly it... I think Nel will go to town on this guy 

I flipping hope so - some of the things he's said are right but not necessarily all of them relevant to OP which should have narrowed his parameters grrrrr 

Derman starts to mention Justin Divaris and Sam Greyvenstein statement to his bail hearing but Gerrie Nel leaps up to object to hearsay

*swoons* 

Morning Ladies. I have been a long time lurker in this thread, I  find what you all say interesting and entertaining. It really bugs me when I can't put a face to the voice so, I have found a link to  Wayne Dermans web site, and a picture of him for you all to see.(The droning voice does not match his looks!

http://www.waynederman.com/

exactly, this is covering every disability under the sun 

morning Sezit   I shall look after Oldfart asks if it's an opportune time to take a tea break 

Defence trying their best to separate the sport star OP from OP the disabled person in his private existence. This area Nel will attack.

I've got the popcorn ready for when he starts 

Remind me, is it the lawyer or the witness who leads evidence?

good point Charl 

Nel will likely accuse Derman of going beyong his remit & being subjective because of his closeness to OP. Reason for all CV talk at start?

I'm hoping if the journos aren't fooled, neither will be M'Lady

morning Sezit  

hopefully Frank will be along shortly with breakkie/brunch  

I know what you mean...I meant to look for him this morning  and I don;t know about him not looking like he sounds...that's a mic he has in his hand isn't it...the bloke sure likes the sound of his own voice 

mind in Oldfarts case he may have no choice 

its going to be interesting and less boring 

so all this bit is to do with the stuff that M'Lady banned the journos from reporting on after 3.05pm 

Oldwage quotes state psychologist report ruling out "Generalised Anxiety Disorder." Derman says tests show result "on border" of GAD.

well that just about covers OP for anxiety in that he could slip over the border at any time and also gives some credence to Dr Vorster 

they need not have sent OP to Weskopies for a month...this guy covers everything, from every know mental condition to tiling a bathroom 

Oldwage quotes state psychologist report ruling out "Generalised Anxiety Disorder." Derman says tests show result "on border" of GAD.

PMSL....this is a farce 

I think it was the Pistorious family stuff they wanted banned Pengy 

Could be, he's just pleased to see ya.

tweet 

what is more annoying is, the victim is now forgotten and its poor Oscar that's the victim. I find it all disgusting 

Many asking if Doc's objectivity as an expert will be tested due to his personal relationship with OP? Yes Nel will go there.

#OscarTrial #oscartrail199 #OscarPistorius Derman has cleverly plugged gaping holes. Nell= must adjourn, revert as a surgeon NOT a bulldozer

Oldwage is quoting the court-ordered psychological report "It is interesting his biggest dream was to race against able-bodied athletes"

innit though 

for the first time ever, I have turned the sound down...any Country at war could use this bloke for interrogation purposes, no need for truth drugs or owt  

Exactly! I am so angry about that Dame. imagine how Reevas mum and sister are feeling sat there, listening to this twaddling bull crap , pity party for Oscar woscar.

this blokes covered everything under the sun... OP now has 74 defences 

that is exactly how I am seeing it too Sezit, it really is stomach churning and sick....no thought whatsoever for Reeva's family or her memory 

Oldfarts said finally twice, he's a liar an all 

back to the room again...the guy was recorded saying why he left the room...although the recordings now gone missing
