Nel quizzes Derman about his weekend homework - reading court record. And seems to have caught him out with an - apparently - minor error.

#OscarTrial Derman: says he read the claim by Divaris about the incident where Oscar fell asleep through the movie in the bail record… 

#OscarTrial apparently this claim was made in Divaris’s statement to the police, but not used in court.

#Oscartrial Nel is questioning where Derman got info from re previous incidents of OP over reacting to "startles" i.e noises, surprises

Derman says he was given their statements...can't recall where. He says he believes his report was as objective as he could be.

Derman like all the other witnesses seems to have tunnel vision and approach their testimony with one goal in mind 

that's what Nel is saying 

Derman admits that his stated brief to describe his experiences with #OscarPistorius is subjective, but his observations may be objective.

Nel hammering on the true objectivity of this expert report. He will argue that this report be rejected by the court in that it is bias.

we can only hope so 

and so it should be...

Derman is splitting hairs a little, as is his right, but Nel doesn't like it. "I'm going to ask you this question for the third time."

Gerrie Nel asking, in a low, dangerous voice, if he feels he's qualified to testify on the "results of psychological tests".

well it had me wibbling 

#OscarTrial Derman: met with psychiatrist Dr Fine, who sat on the evaluating panel, before and after the evaluation.

Derman describes how as physician he deals with psychological tests, interpretations, to apply knowledge as a physician #oscartrial

QQQ 

and we're to believe there's no tailoring of the evidence

much jiggery pokery going on here 

fire in the court room - another witness going up in flames 

we knew that from day one, but now it look as if weskopies is involved 

Nel: "But you don't know these tests, you're not qualified." Derman says he asked Dr Fine if he agreed that 70 was high.

Oldfecker talking about hearsay.. ye gawds, most of their witnesses have made it up as they went along 

Oldwadge: Mr Nel must make clear whether he intends to call the psychiatrist as a witness. Nel disputes this.

#Oscartrial Nel calls witness Mr Derman. Oldwage jumps up "PROFESSOR" , sniggers in court. Judge corrects Nel.

Nel now over-emphasising "PROFESSOR" Derman at each mention. Cheeky wag.

Nel won't confirm or deny that state plans to reopen its case to call Dr Carla Kotze as witness.

Oldbillybunter is like a 14 year old in a playground 

I don't blame him, Roux brought loads of things in the back door and most of them dodgy 

Sounded like Derman called OP Poorstorius 

Ooo slap for Gerrie for not having copies of the act available for Oldfecker 

#OscarTrial Derman: You don't need to be a genius (to interpret results). Nel: You don't need to be a genius, you need to be a psychologist

see, its been drummed into them 

nel 'are you done' 

cogs were on time again 

Nel refers to Health Professions Act, which states that psychological scores can only be interpreted by psych professionals.

Is it just me or is OldwadgeVSNel a bit more venomous than RouxVSNel?

I don't think they like each other, I find it difficult to believe even Oldfecker's mother even likes him 

#OscarTrial Nel comes back to running demonstration OP did for Derman, that he described. Uh-oh, we're headed video-wards.

There it is - he's doing it!!

#OscarTrial Derman says he's never seen it but cant think why its not possible. (we're definitely in video country)

he's plugging away isn't he, first opportunity he's going to try and introduce it to refute 

Nel: "So we have this concession. 'I don't know whether he's able to run without having his hand against the wall'."

And all of a sudden Derman is struggling again. Unable to remember things where he was present.

#OscarTrial: Nel finds this answer "interesting".

PROFESSOR  Derman should be very afraid when Nel finds something interesting - think the Prof has lost a lot of swagger now the video disputes what he testified to on Thursday 

In answer to a question that was put about the video being introduced:

@MandyWiener Now we know it was produced for defence iro pending litigation, it's privileged and inadmissible - it can't be adduced by Nel.

but it is in the public domain now, I think that would make it possible...with 4 months experience of watching this trial on my CV doing a Derman
