Must say I would have thought Roux would have more to throw at the witness. Doctor's consultation time?

I'm just waiting for #BarryRoux to move onto the lack of choices on the prison menu #OscarTrial#OscarPistorius he's clarified buga all

Has uncle Arnie gone to put screens up outside the court for Ebola 

#OscarTrial Modise says if Pistorius is admitted, he will be assessed and then decided where he will be detained. BB

I thought Modise stated categorically (that's his favourite word) that OP would be assessed first - Roux trying to trip him up

I haven't got a bath 

tweet 

go Gerrie 

I have with a special disability chair so I can sit then swing round and have a shower- have to take the chair off if I want a bath but I struggle to get in as I'm only 5 foot and it puts me off balance trying to get in - steps are not good either for health and safety reasons.

phone again 

#PistoriusTrial Roux asks Nel to maybe shorten his q's as 'it'd save time'. Laughs from gallery. Nel says 'I dont find that funny'

M'lady should have rebuked Mr Roux for that 

#oscartrial Modise confirms that it is the choice of the inmate to bring in a private practitioner, if they don't, service will be provided.

you need Roux and you would end meals and wheels 

"@penguinoni: Has uncle Arnie gone to put screens up outside the court for Ebola #OscarPistorius needs protecting #OscarTrial" Terminator

yes 

Nel: if Roux is unhappy with facilities in prison, after all complaints procedures exhausted, he could approach court #oscartrial

don't answer or accidentally unplug it 

#OscarTrial Wonder if Schultz knows he is sitting in area demarcated for the Pistorius family, broad smile on his face as he waves to Batch.

The very fact that the prisons boss is at the #OscarTrial makes #Pistorius a privileged convict, & shows they'll be looking out for him

it's my daughter... and grandsons been ill so I had to answer 

Stares from Pistorius camp - as Schultz and friend took a seat on the bench next to them - Modise steps down #OscarPistorius MV

adjourned till 1pm 

awwww is he still poorly? 

I'm on flooring watch as I agreed to take my neighbour's new flooring for the kitchen in from Homebase if she's not home from work in time 

Thanks pengy

But not a jury as we know it? the judge decides the verdict, is that right?

For those unschooled in SA crime world, Mikey Schultz is the self-confessed killer of mine magnate Brett Kebble

Nel needs time to consult with his witness. Court ajourns until 2. Nel also says he'll finalise tomorrow. #OscarTrial #OscarPistorius

with regards to finding him guilty or innocent - the jurists help the judge decide which route they are taking.  They make suggestions and bring to the judges attention points they believe are relevant (my Dutch friend is a jurist and SA system is based on theirs) as soon as the judge finds person innocent or guilty the jurist job is done   unlike ours where it's the jury that find the person innocent or guilty and the judge just hands down the sentence 

one, I have the sound down 

#PistoriusTrial The Pistorius family appears to be asking for the two 'heavies' Mikey Shultz and another to be relocated elsewhere

Aimee says she doesn't want Schultz anywhere near her or appearing to associated with #Pistorius family. She speaks to Roux about it.

Thanks again Pengy

Quite a bit of frenzy I'm the courtroom as Roux and Pistorius family engage police ostensibly about presence of Schultz in courtroom

shame her her bro is in the dock on a CH charge 

he's much better thanks Pengy 

bit disappoint about Micky Schultz.. makes roux case stronger, saying that I think OP will not be safe anywhere 

ooooh  I'd see it as making the prosecution case stronger, i.e. OP needs custody for protection by the law while he serves his 'term' preferably in a sectioned off section of the prison for those at risk, like peodo's and rapists  

I hope you're right 

how do we know Roux didn't set this up?

I think Jarred Mortimer is going to be called up, thats why schultz and the gang are there. #OscarSentencing @ewnreporter

#

@GerrieNel_Not@ewnreporter Couldn't Schultz being there confirm Roux's belief that OP is being intimidated? Or did Roux set this up?

@penguinoni who knows

lotta people read @Gerrie Nel not so I've put it out there 

@JacaNews 1pm: Drama in the benches while court is in session #OscarPistorius - #FridayEve question: Have you had enough of #OscarTrial?

we don't
