one thing I think she said was to do with the dinner - in the bail statement he said they were in bed by 10pm but today he said they were in bed by 8pm.  he said originally that they both went to sleep straight away, today he said that he went to sleep and Reeva was still awake and he'd asked her to close the balcony doors - some are minor discrepancies and others are huge - I think that may count against him

I agree with a lot of what you've said but I'm not sure he can get a grip on himself. Whenever he has to relive what happened, he falls to pieces - and I think it is genuine. Whatever happened that night, I think he is struggling to cope with what he did to Reeva.

I believe he is guilty of culpable homicide, because discharging four bullets means he meant to kill whoever he thought was in the toilet, but I have not been convinced that he is guilty of the premeditated murder of Reeva.

I do think he lied about shooting the gun through the sun roof of the car but I actually believed his version of events in the restaurant.

The more I have heard of his heightened perception of crime, the more I think that his version could be true and that he freaked out, and believing Reeva was still in bed, shot at who he thought was a burglar.

 

For the record, Mr Yogi thinks he is as guilty as sin, but predicts Oscar won't be convicted of premeditated murder. He suggested I might be gullible (but said he meant it in a nice way). However, I pointed out that I am a much better judge of character in RL than he is.

 

 

 

Most of what you posted I can think could be possible by some pure quirk of fate...but! There are still many questions to answer, like it was pitch black but he could see a pair of jeans on the floor, he can't balance yet he bent down on Reeva's side of the bed to get the gun and presumably had his hand on the bed to balance and didn't notice she was not there. Shouting in the hall and waiting to consider his options all the while she was bound to have heard is voice getting nearer and never once made a sound? Its not a slam dunk for me yet Yogi and I do believe Nel entered stuff into evidence to bring out in cross examination, its on the record in court and can be used at anytime...even though it wasn't mentioned before. 

 

 

Noticeably today, Roux took us painstakingly through all the text kisses again  I add kisses to all my friends by the way and once to my car mechanic by accident. He avoided the one text that maybe would have tripped OP up and that was the text where she said she was afraid of him at times...this will be brought up of that I have not doubt. I also said the first time around I heard the texts, there wasn't a great deal of romance in them, the majority were more like I would send everyday. 

 

I don't believe there was this when eyes met across the room romance and to say he was buying a house for them after 5 week was quite frankly laughable Yogi. I definitely think they milked it to the point of it being far fetched. Still all my doubts don't prove premeditated murder Yogi 

 

Roux had Oscar read out the text where Reeva said she was afraid of him at times, and questioned him about it.

I thought a lot of the texts were quite soppy but I did notice they never said 'I love you'. 

Some people do go into a relationship at full pelt, but I think he may have exaggerated how full on theirs was.

I don't know why he used the bullets he did. I don't know much about guns and bullets, and I find it hard to get my head round a society where carrying guns seems to be the norm.

 

 

 

you should search OP on the shooting range on youtube Yogi...that may give you an idea of why he used the bullets 

But I'm trying to be a Gaga Juror who only goes on the evidence shown in court.

I'm not sure how this will help him, it could work either way. If he had to hold on around the bed, collect the gun from under Reeva's side, how comes he didn't notice she was not there if he was holding on to her side of the bed. instinctively you can normally feel a presence in bed next you you...well I always can 

Just further confirms how ridiculous his story is to me, but hey, ho, lets hear the evidence and keep an open mind

I agree Dame. I still believe he did it As murder and not an accident.

I vary from Culpable Homicide to guilty Cinds..the more I discuss it the more flaws I see in his story and then I'm back to 99% he's guilty...I'm just pleased I don't have to decide. I'll be truly disgusted if he walks away with a fine or probation

There's the rub for me, he had a grip alright, he ain't got it now....totally self obsessed and self driven, no regard for others imcho

If he did shout out that there were intruders in the house, surely it is possible that Reeva locked herself in the toilet to stay safe and didn't reply to Oscar for fear of said intruders finding her.

If he had shouted that there were intruders in the bathroom, then I would have expected Reeva to reply that it was her in the bathroom and not to panic.

So he didn't check that out by simply asking "Reeva, it's Oscar,is that you"

The judicial system is based on "innocent until proven guilty", and the state has failed, thus far, to prove he is guilty of premeditated murder, imo.

I have already said I believe he is guilty of culpable homicide.

I have read about physical and mental abuse in relationships, and as I already mentioned in this thread, I have an old school friend who suffered more than a decade of physical and mental abuse from her ex husband. To outsiders, he was a quiet, pleasant, mild-mannered man. To her, he was a violent, controlling monster who made her life Hell.

Is it not possible that the events of last year have changed him, and both are the real Oscar?

I was tired last night and couldn't find the right words to answer your post.

I think mental and emotional strength are two different things. The focus, drive and determination needed to succeed in athletics is different from the emotional strength needed to cope with his current situation, and dealing with the guilt of killing Reeva.

Yogi19

 

 

Morning you lot  

 

I have the African News channel on...reports are saying Roux is worried about the cross examination, he fears OP opened doors for Nel and he's not called the pit bull for nothing. 

 

 

Maybe being able to see Reeva's jeans from the light of the lcd light and pick them up in a previously reported pitch black room is one of the points, because even had a drop jaw moment when he said about that. 

 

I'm hoping he gets CH...but in the back of my mind there is so many doubts, his story would have to have been a terrible tragic serious of unbelievable bad luck...or deliberate and even I haven't got that much bad luck

Morning Yogi  

 

 

It was a telling admission though..it wasn't pitch black and worse for him, he stopped to weigh up his options and think what to do. Why oh why did he not speak to Reeva?

 

 

Another thing that's not making sense is....why not waken Reeva up from the bed, lead her out of the bedroom and down the stairs, he had a gun for protection and the burglar was supposedly locked in the toilet at this point.
