Derman senses he's on dangerous ground trying to justify OP's gun enthusiasm given his startle response. Turns to scientific experiment.

Derman is blatantly biased... 

Nel: The evidence of the accused is it was a nice relaxing evening and he wasn't anxious. Derman: No anxiety that I'm aware of. #Pistorius

The Professor is back-tracking big time now 

Derman confirms he did no new tests on #OscarPistorius when asked to testify.

Think this evidence would have been so much stronger for the defence if it was given by a truly independent witness.

like we have said...he's a character witness, everything he's done/said is based on OP's say so 

RT @debora_patta: #OscarTrial Nel going through each page of Derman's report trying to shatter his credibility as an expert witness

yay 10 minutes and hopefully after that adjournment Derman will be off the stand - let's hope Oldfecker doesn't re-examine 

I will be on mute if he does 

Well obviously re-direct to come. But defence did say he's their last witness. Will Nel apply to re-open?

other than that, this should be the end and we'll be told when summing up will be 

I bet its Thursday and Friday when I am busy 

I agree totally with that 

bet Derman thought he'd be excused but he's there on the stand pretending to not recall 

Nel says Derman's "don't recall" answer indicates his bias. @eNCAnews

indicates he's a liar more like 

#Oscartrial Nel says this shows that OP does not want to give an answer that will harm the accused. Derman disagrees

#OscarTrial Derman again repeats that OP fired to "nullify the threat".

like the guy who had his computer nicked with the recording of him saying Oscar was arguing on the phone at the Olympics.... he's been tweeting and refuting what Derman said. he moved rooms because of the mood OP was in and not due to cold  

bingo 

#Oscartrial Nel is trying to show that OP intended to shoot whoever was behind the door, aware that SOMEONE Was there. Derman avoiding issue

do you have his tweet address - wouldn't mind following him 

mute, mute, mute 

I'll look now while Oldfecker is grinding me last nerve 

is it Arnu Fourie?  following him 

he's pretty much confirming what OP said 

#Oscartrial this re-direction is over, then we wait to see if there are any surprises at the end of the defence case. short adjournment

I think this could be him... https://twitter.com/702david

Rumour is the defence are wondering whether to call another witness. Barry Roux goes over to prosecution benches, speaks to Andrea Johnson.

the guy who recorded the interview isn't  but his recordings been nicked 

I'm just going by the tweets that were put up on DS...here is an article naming the guy who done the interview 

http://ewn.co.za/2014/07/02/Os...e-releases-statement

nowt much on his account since June 30th???? 

where were they getting the tweets from  really confused now and I ain't trawling back on DS 

so Oldfecker is finished and Derman is off the stand at last 

yayyyyyyyyyy he's gone 

Judge back and Kenny Oldwadge tells her he has no further questions for this witness. Is this the close of the defence case?

one more witness and we're adjourned till 2??? 

#OscarTrial Roux says “this is probably the last witness”. He wants to consult with Kotze until 2pm.

he said he thought that was his last witness, I think
