#OscarPistorius Ripple of laughter thro the courtroom as Nel recites the love names used by the couple - Boo Boo, Bah Bah kiss kiss

#OscarPistorius Now what cd be the most damning blow: the state of their relationship. 'We had the view of the deceased' thro whatsap

#OscarTrial Nel: whatever the accused told the psychologists is his view - the WhatsApp messages are her view of the relationship. BB

#OscarPistorius Nel: Those Boo Boo Bah Bah whatsaps are not that important, he says, becos of timing compared to searingly sad ones later

#OscarTrial Masipa questions whether Nel can rely on these messages - draw inferences? Relationships have ups and downs. BB

they're Reeva's own words judgie 

#OscarTrial Nel: but we have a state expert witness and Fresco both testifying that the firearm can’t discharge without pulling trigger. BB

#OscarTrial Nel: on Count 3, the Tashas shooting, there is very little that is in dispute. BB

Nel: OP explanation for illegal gun firing at Tasha's reminds you of his defense to the murder charge: that gun just went off @eNCAnews

Nel argues OP explanation for illegal gun firing incidents show his refusal to take responsibility, dishonesty. @eNCAnews #OscarTrial

Nel on sunroof shooting: "there was no conspiracy between witnesses to incriminate the accused" @eNCAnews #OscarTrial

#OscarTrial Nel: Count 4 - possession of the ammunition. The accused wrote competency tests, he knew the law. BB

#OscarTrial Masipa questions Nel on this, refers to a defence argument. Nel says the law is clear - no licence = no possession. BB

#OscarTrial Nel: He possessed it, its his safe

#OscarTrial Nel: if the court accepts his intruder version, he fires four shots into the cubicle - how is that not dolus directs? BB

#OscarPistorius 'intended to kill a human being' - says Nel - whether it was mistakenly Reeva Steenkamp or not

#OscarTrial Nel moves on to error in persona: Oscar guilty of murder *irrespective* of whether it was Reeva or an intruder.

#OscarTrial Nel: there was no reasonable event to cause the perception that an attack was imminent. BB

#OscarPistorius also fired not one but 4 shots into confined space, says Nel, so dolus eventualis, dolus directus - take what u want he says

#OscarPistorius But prosecution is insisting the athlete committed premeditated murder which involved a 'deliberate weighing up' of actions

#OscarTrial Nel: A reasonable disabled man, woman, whoever, that person will not fire without cause.

Really looks like #Pistorius is barely keeping it together as Nel describes him shooting an "unarmed, vulnerable woman" #PistoriusTrial
