yesssss, his life is on the line 

so in fear of his life he fired accidentally????? fired randomly - considering how many times he hit target I'm finding that statement hard to believe 

he stood in the passage contemplating his options yesterday and today he didn't have time to think, he's contraindicated himself all the way through his testimony 

I am too 

He's calmer than yesterday, despite being cross examined by that yapping jack russell, so I think he is medicated - but I could be wrong.

I'm trying to keep up with this thread (it's my main source of info!) but... on the DM site he says he told the judge he didn't mean to kill Reeva.. or anyone.   What did he think four bullets were going to do when they exploded?  Turn into pixie dust and glitter and leave 'anyone' unscathed?   I doubt it was premeditated, but I don't believe for a minute it was an accident.

now that the questions are harder why are you emotional judge seems to disagree but I'm with Nel 

Judge is right to pull up Nel, he is out of order.

I am quiet happy he's got the yapping jack russell probing him 

me too...its all about him and I have said that since he started giving evidence 

Couldn't agree more Kaffs - especially when you factor in that the bullets were the type to expand to ensure a definite kill on impact  as Nel has said, it doesn't matter that Reeva was the target, that gun was loaded to kill and he shot to kill 'a burglar' 

I think he's altered facts to suit his testimony, but that doesn't mean to say he knew Reeva was behind the door Kaffs, but to say he didn't intend to shoot or kill anyone is just daft. 

I don't think it was "an accident", in as much as I think he meant to shoot the person in the toilet, but I don't think he is guilty of premeditated murder of Reeva.

I think it's a valid question, whilst I agree with the Judge that he's been 'emotional' throughout the trial, when ever he gets asked a difficult question he does start wibbling and crying and it could in all honesty, be perceived as a tactic to elicit sympathy. 

I agree.

and don't forget its my life on the line...you shot and killed an innocent person and so it should be 

No, it was a snide question and as judgie pointed out, Oscar has been emotional throughout, not just now.

I don't like jack russells.

OI!  Milo is half JR 

Oooo it's Llewellyn time on Sky 

Right, I'm off to get some housework done, see you later.

I won't  be here tomorrow and Friday  I will be catching up with the thread later...and I'll try and have the lappy on at some point tomorrow to listen in. I have my grandchildren all day...how inconvenient  friday I am painting for my daughter...but will have the case on while I throw paint at her kitchen walls 

I am off to see reactions from around the web 

no.. in as much as I don't believe he thought 'I'll lure her here, wait till she's in the loo and shoot her'   It's no big stretch (well.. no stretch at all) for me to believe the argued, she got scared, hid in the loo and he shot her in temper/blind rage

 But his other half is dominant and makes him gorgeous.

just switched over 

exactly... which just reinforces my opinion he's a lying, agressive nutjob who could easily pop a few bullets in her if she pissed him off.

absent   I shall keep us all updated 

my fixation with him is not healthy   it's the ties that swing it for me 

I know...I might download a movie for them and hope they behave sit and watch it while I pop on and off here 

Friday I will have the TV on loud and will try and pop in on my coffee breaks 

I'm more worried about you and Yogi with the silly and ludicrous fixation the the ROUX 

Is it finished for the day?

yes until tomorrow Saint 

Fankoo Pengy

Yogi look what I found  *legs it*  

Anything Roux can do, Nel can do…

Hi Rox. I am in the, "not convinced it was premeditated murder, but guilty of culpable homicide" camp.

Hello Roxan.

And now for the sake of your reader here we go.

Wibble, wobble, cheesy chips, bum fluff, monkey on a motorbike.

Ha ha ha.

It seems to me that Oscar P was under no immediate threat.

He could have withdrawn, called for security or even left his house.

Firing explosive bullets, was it five times, looks like a massive over reaction to the situation he perceived to be happening.

Those shots were intended to stop someone, not harm and not to scare but to kill.

Hi Roxan - hope you are well

I don't think they will be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. So he will be found innocent of murder.

And then the family will go for a private prosecution (if the countries law allows that)
