Derman can't answer because he can't confirm because he can't look at what he is supposed to agree with or disagree with 

#Oscartrial Nel: do you know when he ran on that night ? Derman : it's still not clear to me.

loved when Nel said you've read the report and you still can't remember 

coggy again grrr 

For me the greatest aspect of the video (out of context) was the shooting hand head high. OP testified it was low, arm bent by his side.

like everything else he's said...it changes daily 

gawd we're back to startles and F & F 

1. Aislinn Laing ‏@Simmoa <small class="time"> 11m</small>

   Derman says he asked OP to show him "how he moved and to run as fast as he could". @CriminalLawZA-can Nel refer to video without showing it?

    
2. James Grant ‏@CriminalLawZA <small class="time"> 1m</small>

   @Simmoa In my understanding, Nel may not produce the video or refer to it. For all practical legal purposes, it doesn't exist for Nel.

    

    

    

#Oscartrial Derman says OP couldn't flee "as you or I" could because of disablity. Nel: He could have walked out of the bedroom door? Yes

I was hoping it was going to be finished, Thursday I have my grandson to pick up at 11.45 and  Friday I have a heavy day 

Derman: There are two sides here, the state's case and the defence's case. Clearly I have considered both sides.

Derman confirms he only addressed #OscarPistorius version in his report.

like hell he did 

Nel:  you've given a long explanation yet the question was so easy

in other words stop faffing about and answer the question 

I could have knit Oldfecker a rather large jumper whilst Derman was going through his CV, wish I had thought on 

Nel: The SA study dealt with dementia. That study for purpose of this case is irrelevant. #OscarPistorius #OscarTrial

I'm gonna have it before Derman is finished 

#OscarTrial Nel is questioning the studies quoted by Derman, trying to show they're not entirely relevant to OP case.

Nel: there's no indication of where the violence happened. Am I right? Derman: That is correct. #OscarTrial #OscarPistorius

Nel: "But now we're in a court of law and we're dealing with relevance. Relevance and objectivity. And you did not mention the relevance."

now we are talking about disabled hate crime  and stop mentioning us you git 

I know the £^%$*&%£ 

Think I said last week Nel would do his best to separate OP the subjective case from the statistics raised by Derman in chief. This is it.

#Oscartrial Nel: This report deals with disablity "hate crime". Not relevant. Derman: it is revelant shows why disabled feel vulnerable

matching anything to prop up his story  Nel is perfectly right to state OP would be far less vulnerable than most disabled people, IMO disabled  or able bodied people 

just dawned on me why Aimee took Reeva's handbag, she needed it for her starring role  I'm still struggling to get my head around this 

in the video? 

I find it so weird its unreal...someone  on DSsaid she would do it for OP,,,any out of work stranger could/would have done it for a few rand 

back 

And now to the "startle" sounds the night Reeva Steenkamp killed. Feels like Nel mopping up last questions here...

gawd we can only hope so 

Wonders if there's something in South African water that makes them forget so much #OscarPistorius #oscartrial

Reeva Steenkamp's mother June returns, belatedly, to the courtroom, smiling as she passes the ANC Womens' League duo on bench.

#Oscartrial Nel lists noises OP heard on night. Window opening, toilet door closing, what was 3rd. Derman: the magazine rack in toilet

Like 2 Oscars there seems (to me) 2 Dermans. Great on physiological evidence, not so much on his consults with OP.

Derman: The only things I could have asked him about the sound were the "duration, frequency and intensity of that sound". #Pistorius

Oopsie!  Mustn't ignore M'lady PROFESSOR Derman 

Nel tells Derman to address court and not him. He has been addressing Nel as "sir" as opposed to addressing Masipa as "My Lady".

Derman is slowly losing it... we're dealing with sounds at the moment #OscarPistorius

I don't think he's the only one 

Nel points out that #OscarPistorius had shooting as a hobby. "Those sounds wouldn't startle him?" Derman: not necessarily @eNCAnews

#OscarTrial Derman: Those sounds would not startle him, he's in control of them and expecting them? Nel: Good, the answer I wanted

Derman says on shooting range one would be in charge of when sound is produced, when gun is discharged, wouldn't cause startle #oscartrial

this much is true 

I find it hard to believe too...he never shot at the washer, when he heard a noise with Sam Taylor he asked her if she heard it...never once went for his gun and shot through a door that time
