Well, this is an interesting bit of gossip - and the information comes from a Pistorious 'fan'.   I think it is credible in view that it has been uncovered by Barry Bateman, who readers of this thread (thanks to the adorable Pengy) will already be familiar with. 

*warning* It is a Daily Mail link. 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...Reeva-Steenkamp.html

If that article is true Xochi, it just confirms my opinion that he is a murderer and murdered her with intent. I didn't believe a thing he said, nothing he testified too sounded plausible and most of it farcical    

another bint idolising a South African hero.  She obviously has no self respect knowing he was seeing both her, Sammy Taylor and Reeva   she's just as much scum as OP is and makes a mockery of the trial and the findngs grrrrr

I've got Barry & Mandy's book on pre-order with Amazon but they've put the date back   I have great respect for Barry and Mandy - although journos, they are not the tabloid sensationalist type so I'm expecting a balanced account when I do get around to reading it.  Until then I shall knuckle down to my university reading - Old Testament Genesis books 1 - 11 - perhaps I should ask OP for some help what with him being such a pious Christian boy??? Blessings 

On another note - the Dewani trial starts on Monday but it doesn't look like it will be televised 

Morning all - I'm here and ready for the continuation of this farce of a trial 

predictions are he'll get away with a non custodial sentence 

apparently it could last a week as loads of witnesses will be called but not Reeva's parents 

Good morning everyone.

I'm here for a wee while but hubby is still on leave and wants to go out and about today.

and first twitter war with Oscar loving nutjob who thinks I'm naive for not loving him and being annoyed that he'll only get a slap on the wrist 

nooooo you can't go out - it's raining which means it's compulsory to stay inside   morning Yogz 

and she's  no backtracked on come to a different conclusion so I've forgiven her - I show mercy to her but not Oscar  

Mental detectors and scanners outside Pistorius court room - first time this has happened. Believed to be in response to threats @eNCAnews

my reply 

@karynmaughan@eNCAnews Mental detectors! I thought the Outpatient study deemed him sane lol

For first time, police have scanners at entrance of OP court room. Believed to be in response to threats on Pistorius life @eNCAnews

It's dry up here, and anyway, he wants to drag me round furniture shops even though we won't be decorating or buying furniture till next year. He likes to plan ahead.

Mental health and disability could be central to #Oscar's sentencing >> http://www.enca.com/south-africa/mental-health-and-disability-could-be-central-oscar-sentencing …

#OscarTrial Carl has arrived in court on hi-tech-looking crutches along with Uncle Arnold and other relatives. BB

If he was taking you out to lunch I'd forgive him for taking you away from us on such an important day but jeez furniture shops   was he a boy scout  dib dib dib 

Morning Pengy and Yogi,  

Made it just in time, threw the kids into breakfast club from a moving car...I'm sure they will be fine  It's flipping nippy out 

They'll be fine, Dame. Kids of that age bounce!

No, but he is a compulsive plan ahead nutter.

I hope so Yogi, I have the school run again Wednesday morning...so I hope they've healed nicely for round two if this case is still on 

book him a weeks holiday in DFS and then you can watch the sentencing in peace 

#OscarTrial Nel and the prosecution team have arrived, including head of the Investigative Psychology Section Gerard Labuschagne. BB

It's expected to last until Friday 

great idea - he can confirm if they do always have stuff on sale 

and we're off 

#OscarTrial And Judge Masipa enters. There are armed police guarding entrances and either side of Judge and assessors

Suzette's looking chipper today 

Dr Lore Hartzenberg is called to the stand - she is a psychologist #OscarPistorius MV

Groans at Gerrie possibly needed more than one week 

A week 

#OscarTrial Roux says he will cal three witnesses, and a fourth official witness from the Department of Correction Services. BB

What's all this bbbbbbbbb stuff about 

RT @mandywiener: #OscarPistorius Dr Lore Hartzenberg is the first witness. She's the athlete's psychologist. Won't be televised.

are we going over old ground...what's this got to do with sentencing 

it made me chuckle...he sounded a bit gormless 

There's a full house on the relatives' bench. Steenkamp's parents are not expected to give evidence, but have, i'm told, prepared statement.

I'm assuming we're going to get more psychobabble to reduce the chances of a custodial sentence 

Summer has arrived promptly in SA - it's about 30 C outside, and the courtroom air conditioner is wheezing hard in the corner.

Hartzenberg specialises in trauma counseling. She was in court every day when #OscarPistorius testified, sat with him in breaks @eNCAnews

#OscarTrial Dr explains attitude towards being called to stand. She didnt want to be involv in 'merits of case'.

she sounds like a reluctant witness but not quite what you'd term hostile
