Referring to the Tasha's shooting incident, Judge Masipa says the accidental firing showed "a reckless disregard" for other patrons.

Did judgey type it herself?

eNCA said their were Reeva supporters there this morning  The journo's should watch TV, I can hear her fine 

don't know Yogi, but it was dealt with differently so no possible leaks 

I'm getting a positive vibe wafting from M'lady, I hope I'm right 

As judge Masipa reads from a stack on notes on a stand in front of her, two TRT officers stand in each corner of the court with rifles.

let's see if OP makes a run for it 

Me too. 

bet he doesn't run towards armed guards  Fight, flight or freeze...it will be freeze 

me too and I feel as it's considered 'domestic violence' and she has a reputation for coming down hard on this, if found guilty of whatever charge, it will be a harsh sentence 

I see Cpt Mangena is looking deliciously moisturised again 

I hope so 

I noticed Mangena 

Judge devotes just 30 seconds or so to Mrs van der Merwe. With 36 witnesses to go, that may mean we won't be kept waiting too long.

let's hope so 

I see blondie is still sitting in front of judgey and getting paid for doing nothing except passing papers to judgey.

*Crosses everything*

I've applied for her job 

yes...she's just going over it quickly 

Suzette   I want her job 

Presumably the most interesting aspect of this section is what Judge Masipa includes and omits from each witnesses' evidence? @DavidDadic

very trooooo 

Masipa says screams were heard, 4 shots were fired through door, RS was inside door, 3 of 4 shots hit he

lapsing back into Afrikaans I see 

I doubt the pay is very good - still it's hardly taxing unless she does loads of work behind the scene 

I really hope the Dewani trial is televised - not long now - 6th October 

wonders when M'lady is retiring 

Common cause facts: screams were heard; OP fired on stumps; four shots fired; RS behind toilet door; door locked from inside

the problem with that one is I am convinced he's guilty before the trial, I was opened minded about this one 

depends what she's got in her pension pot - she's 66 now 

I'm not believing that, unless there is video evidence.

She doesn't look her age.

Masipa says these issues (cops tampering with scene etc) have faded - will be explained late

see all the State technical witnesses are there 

morning Jen 

they're saying on twitter he's only just holding back the tears 

nothing was proven..a bat was moved one millimeter and a loaded gun was emptied and moved..which would be common practice  the blood trail proved the duvet was on the floor 

I saw a Panorama (I think) programme which cast doubt on his guilt, so I'm open minded on the Dewani case.

#oscartrial Masipa said it will become clear why the time-consuming issues of scene contamination, photos have become insignificant

Masipa says issue of gunshots, cricket bat noise and screams are all "inextricably linked

I could see he was on the verge of tears at one point.

#OscarTrial Masipa: it became clear that some of the sounds the neighbours thought were gunshots were the bat striking the door

 should be an interesting case which is why I think it should be televised.

the problem with that one is I am convinced he's guilty before the trial, I was opened minded about this one
