#OscarTrial Vergeer: also suggests that Pistorius should be sentenced to correctional supervision for three years. BB

no collusion between the 2 paid for defence witnesses? 

Two experts to say he should do jail time?

I know our own judicial system is an ass a lot of the time but this case and by the look of it Dewani's case are really showing SA judiciary in a bad light 

sunny and breezy here 

Vergeer says community work is punishment so should take #OscarPistorius away from comfort zone and be seen as punishment in eyes of public.

ok...her screechy voice is doing my head in...and her highly paid report is not helping 

Vergeer says a local school for disabled children has asked #OscarPistorius to come and speak if he doesn't get prison sentence.

would any sensible person want to place a vulnerable child within an inch of OP?  not me 

tis rubbish innit...kill someone and what???

Pre-cross examination call, but at this point, easily the Defence's best witness, Ever.

Reeva Steenkamp's father Barry, who had been leaning forward, slumps back against seat. #Pistorius

It is very high-pitched and sing-songy (I know that's not a real word).

I dunno...I'm speechless 

real or not, it described it perfectly 

most South African women have high-pitched sing-songy voices 

Barry Steenkamp really doesn't look well - I don't want to say this but I doubt he'll last long after this trial is done 

*perks* sodomy... jail him I say 

SA jails on trial. Vergeer says conditions unsuitable, points to gangs in prisons, overcrowding #OscarTrial

he's too disabled to pick up the soap 

His heart is broken.

I know on both counts. It must be dreadful for them, the trial is  about OP and his feelings and how it's ruined his life...I have no words 

Vergeer says she spoke to social worker at Pretoria Central. She revealed social workers short-staffed, don't have disabled facilities.

Vergeer says some offenders need to be removed from society, doesn't appear to be the case with OP #OscarPistorius MV

I was hoping he couldn't manage that 

I thought it was considered too risky for anyone to pick up soap in prison showers.

exactly Yogz - the inmates would need to help him 

Vergeer says OP's sentence began the day he shot Steenkamp - he will carry this with him for a long time #OscarPistorius MV

#oscartrial Vergeer says Pistorius would be unable to protect himself in prison.

Oscar giveth..he can taketh 

much like a cowering woman behind a door 

#OscarTrial Vergeer: says by accepting responsibility for killing is far greater punishment than offered by jail

Gasps from family bench as Vergeer says Pistorius isn't such a danger to society that he should be removed from it #oscartrial

this just boils my piddle 

I wonder if these paid flunky's would be writing the same report if it was their daughter 

Vergeer explains that Aids is a reality (condoms available) #OscarPistorius MV

not the sort of blessings OP would want 

I'm disgusted 

I doubt it.

exactly !!!!! 

#OscarTrial Vergeer says people locked up for up to 15 hours a day, exposure to inadequate hygiene, sexual assault and sodomy

if only 

exactly!!! 

Nel asks if Vergeer spent any time with defence before testifying #OscarPistorius MV

Nel: did you spend time with legal team of the accused? #oscartrial Vergeer: I did, there's difference between spending time, consulting.

But if you don't commit crimes, you won't get locked up in jail.

one of the women sitting on Reeva's side broke down in tears 

exactly Yogi 

It must be so difficult for Reeva's family and friends to listen to all of this.
