yes, I still think something happened today, The very late return from lunch, both Nel and Roux called to chambers and then the abrupt halt to proceedings nearly in mid sentence 
I reckon it did too

At high court in Pretoria. Oscar #Pistorius enters looking quite upbeat. Lots of people shake his hand. He hugs lawyer Barry Roux and sits.
so he should be upbeat - he's managed to escape a murder rap 
is this the ex girlfriend
do you mean Samantha Taylor?
the Barry Bateman book is out... and I think Sam Taylor's mothers spoken out too

Judge Masipa tends not to look at the news and papers, I hope for her sake she did last night

she's confused me totally, how she's read the judgement and her conclusions

#OscarTrial verdict resumes. #Masipa still to address reckless and negligent firearms and illegal possession of ammunition charges
EWN Reporter â@ewnreporter <small class="time"> </small>
#OscarTrial Well, that didn't go well for Masipa. She starts talking about Sam Taylor - that's the sunroof incident
he may get away with this too

almost certainly grrrr

Huh? Did I miss something - she didn't give her conclusion to the culpable homicide charge. Finding of negligence â culpable homicide.
andrew harding â@BBCAndrewH <small class="time"> </small>
I have it on good authority that #OscarPistorius is only pleading not guilty because he says incident happened on different day.

#oscartrial Masipa: Fresco's version was different from Taylor's - he was the driver, they were stopped by police twice, once for speeding.
strange she's skipped the CH

Mystery of yesterday's early adjournment remains... Maybe Judge had other business. #OscarPistorius

think she may have said all she wants to on that - he was negligent so expect a suspended sentence or fine

Fresco is dishonest - there's his reputation down the pan
and so was Oscar, but you found him not guilty...I can't believe this
EWN Reporter â@ewnreporter <small class="time"> </small>
#OscarTrial Fresco's indemnity isn't on the line for this charge, only for the Tashas shooting.
I'm not getting this...how are they supposed to remember the exact place after two or three years
Alex Crawford â@AlexCrawfordSky <small class="time"> </small>
#PistoriusTrial Judge says his 'lies' dont nec taint the rest of his evidence but 'caution is warranted'
Aislinn Laing â@Simmoa <small class="time"> </small>
Bodes v ill for Fresco, who gave evidence under an agreement that he'd be given indemnity from prosecution on gun charges if he was truthful
David Smith â@SmithInAfrica <small class="time"> </small>
Masipa: "Mendacity on one aspect of a witness's evidence does not mean" that all the evidence is tainted, but it does mean exercise caution.
andrew harding â@BBCAndrewH <small class="time"> </small>
Harshest verdict yet from Masipa on any witness. Fresco could be in trouble for that.
