of course he did...he said he warned then to get out of the house, yet gave them?!? no chance to do so  if you believe he thought there was intruders!

#OscarPistorius Legal experts always sd the bail applic statement wd return to haunt the athlete. Nel has highlighted the inconsistencies

Nel says Oscar Pistorius gave three different versions of thought processes that led to him firing at toilet door. @eNCAnews #OscarTrial

#oscartrial Nel says while he drafted heads, he saw there was four different versions by the accused... 'before he knew it, he fired'

^ biggie 

#OscarPistorius Nel: 'He never sd to those 1st on scene, it was an accident, didnt want to shoot. He sd: I shot Reeva, tht she was intruder

State seeks to undermine evidence of Dr Derman, who suggested that Oscar Pistorius may have fired as part of "startle response" @eNCAnews

#OscarPistorius Nel has always insisted that EVEN if OP shot at an intruder, that still constitutes murder of unknown person

 and this is why he really should be found guilty of murder not just CH but I doubt it 

OP yawning...oh dear Nel must be boring him 

my view too..although I still think much, much more went on that night Pengy 

I've just tweeded that so hopefully someone else saw it 

Nel accuses #OscarPistorius doctor, Derman, of "tying himself in knots" trying to protect athlete.

think that was obvious 

#OscarPistorius Full marks to Judge Masipa for her poker face during these arguments

  I was gonna reply she's probably doped up 

or been on the tipple 

#oscartrial Nel: nowhere in the heads of defence was there any indication to say that accused was a good witness.

No s**t Sherlock 

Reeva's dad on the right 

#oscartrial Nel: I checked the record, it happened once that I called accused a liar, the court reprimanded me...

I'd have liked to have given the punishment 

Andrew Harding thinks Nel is being petty on a day like this 

"I never once called him a liar. I did say he lied though"

Semantics?

yeah it is a bit 

#OscarTrial Nel: Court will have to reject his evidence - if there is no credible version. Nel is drunk. #BarryRoux

Oscar's dad Henke 

he was though Moonie.... and good morning 

Morning Dameee

Sorry about last night. Internet, GaGa and mobile problems. Hoping for a better day today

Gerrie Nel hits back at defense's questioning of why it didn't call certain witnesses, etc. he says this is state's prerogative. @eNCAnews

You guys should help nel he still thinks of the #earthquake, can sameone tell him that we don't care of what he thinks

#OscarPistorius tries to suppress another yawn. He seems tired

I just said it must be tiring fighting for your life   nearly said farting for his luff 

don't worry Moonie these things happen and I'm on the phone to my daughter 

Nel now quotes need to regard "a mosaic of truth" - for Judge's benefit. "I can't put it better than," he says.

Nel says evidence like feathers: light on their own, but together "the scale will convincingly balance" #OscarTrial @eNCAnews

he really has his flowery head on today 

#oscartrial Nel: it's important how Mangena reconstructed how deceased stood behind the door - he asks the court to imagine her behind door.

Wonder what book is #OscarPistorius reading there at the back. Could be 'How to Kill a mocking Prosecutor' !! #OscarTrial #BarryRoux

how come my daughters phone at the daftest times 

#OscarPistorius And now he turns to the toilet door and the bullet holes, a good 'grouping' rather than fired wildly in fear, he suggests

it's what daughters do - and nieces - mine rings at the most inopportune times but she's preggers and she gives me updates so I don't mind really 

I see the prosecution losing this case, I mean, we can infer what happened but are you convinced beyond a reasonable doubt? #BarryRoux

#OscarPistorius Nel insists there was 'aiming' involved, 'sight alignment', he insists, when OP shot through the toilet door

Nel says Capt Mangena was able to link the bullet holes to the wounds but Wolmarans unable to do that. #OscarTrial

#oscartrial Nel: Wolmarans agreed that accused was on stumps in normal firing position, arms stretched out, gun in hand with sight alignment

mine phone about the littlest things...the eldest phoned last night and I missed the end of Bake Off 

exactly 

Nel: "the results of black talon or ranger ammunition are exactly the same." ie devastating damage to the body. #OscarTrial

he was pumped up...not panicking, he had time to stop and think...he walked for the gun, he made his way slowly down the hall...he stated himself he stopped to think about his next actions, not the actions of a person running around is sheer terror. The most logical thing for anyone to do in panic and terror is flee 

#OscarTrial Nel: the defence denies that the accused made calls in the bedroom area. Where were they made from?

Nel mentions RSteenkamp's stomach contents - suggesting she'd eaten a meal long after couple had gone to bed.

#OscarTrial Nel: OP was clear that he told witnesses that he shot Reeva thinking she was a burglar. Never accident

#OscarTrial Nel: the deceased had partially digested vegetable matter in her stomach. BB
