Next witness is being sworn in. Her name is Annette Vergeer. #OscarTrial

CRUELLLLLAAAAAA 

I'm not getting the relevance of all this...  what it did before he killed Reeva is of little or no consequence to me. Ted Bundy worked for the Samaritans, Wayne Gacy was a children's entertainer in hospitals, Jimmy S  the list is endless, it doesn't excuse what they have done.

OP isn't going to get the backing to give these children the equipment they need now, so his charity work should not be taken into consideration 

I don't get why they choose not to be filmed when we've seen them sitting with the defence on telly in full view???? 

thought she might be when Nel referred to her yesterday 

daft eh

#OscarTrial Vergeer said to me on arrival at court this morning she was very nervous. Facing Nel prob going to be an ordeal

#OscarTrial Vergeer was contacted by the defence to conduct an investigation for probation purposes. BB

hope she's done a better job than the last guy 

Vergeer: The accused said he was a first offender. He pleaded not guilty. I approached the matter on the basis of the judgment. #Pistorius

another defence witness paid to make sure her findings are the most lenient 

she's another paid private social worker 

snap 

Vergeer is summarizing the basic facts of each of the charges that #OscarPistorius was convicted for. #sabcnews

Milo is snoring that's how interested he is in this trial 

I'm with Milo on this  

Vergeer: advocate representing Reeva's family said their stance on Pistorius was neutral @eNCAnews #OscarTrial

As mentioned previously Defence now dealing with the crime itself. Need to reduce alleged recklessness.

do not most killers express remorse, especially when they are facing jail 

we're back to the 'art broken OP 

#oscartrial Vergeer's report notes that Pistorius showed remorse and his remorse appeared to be genuine, he seemed heartbroken, got therapy

next time you are guilty of something Dame - sweat and all will be OK cos you'll be remorseful  

so when I melt his legs I just sweat a lot and say sorry 

it is and always was about him 

Make sure you are sick in a bucket too.

My link has crashed.

have you tried the Telegraph link Yogi? and you're missing nothing...

hang on...he's no history of this behavior 

#OscarTrial For those not able to hear M Vergeer's delivery of her report: she has a high sing-song voice and she's speed reading #BarryRoux

perhaps she's being paid by the second - the pot must be running dry wot which his charidee opportunities drying up 

I was on The Telgraph link, it's back now.

#OscarTrial Vergeer says as he accepts responsibility, its highly unlikely he will re-offend.

be back in five...gonna hang some sheets out 

Vergeer seems to be leaning away from imprisonment. #OscarPistorius

isn't that what she's paid to do? 

Maybe she's nervous?

it's belting down with rain here and I've got to go out in it soon 

Looking at Oscar's relaxed demeanour, I get the impression he isn't anxious or concerned about the sentence he is going to get. Does he know something we don't?

Alex Crawford spoke to her before this morning's session and she said she was afraid of facing questions from Nel.  However, she was also on the Juju Malema trial which was much more sensational so perhaps that has scarred her - I don't doubt for a second that she's nervous.

 Sunny but chilly up here.

No facility in SA to cater for #OscarPistorius disability, says Vergeer. But clearly other similarly disabled people have ended up in jail.

not what their prison service were saying on Sunday 

I'd be nervous facing Nel too! 

I think he knows the worst he will get is house arrest and back to Uncle Arnie's posh pad   If Reeva was a rhino and he killed her, he'd face years in prison 

#oscartrial Vergeer: rehabilitation in prison is not likely...with correctional supervision he could address anxiety, be monitored.

But they were not sports heroes, like Oscar.

So we've had 2 defence experts rejecting prison for #OscarPistorius. What will the prosecution come up with?

 The judicial system is an ass.
