Oi! Don't compare us to that SA system! You'd never see Donald Finlay QC cross examine a witness with his foot up on a chair, Nel stylee. Our judges would boot his butt!

Many times - i  have heard a noise downstairs and it is my instinct to go and investigate

think it's more to do with giving a signal that he want's to correspond with his lawyer in the break - he can't directly talk to Barry apparently but he's giving messages via his brother Carl.  Think the inference is he wants prompting because he's diverging from what Barry has prompted him.

 

This is Alex's tweet go and ask her 

 

 

Aimee not just the breaker of white goods but calling time on the days proceedings - we did get an early day as you jinxed it 

  ya those SA boys give real swagger in court 

You quoted her, I was only asking a question! 

 

I can understand him wanting some help from Roux.

The fake Gerrie Nel account retweeted one of my tweets 

 

so @GerrieNel_Not is considering the use of the word consider. Think we need to consider if this is a considerate approach.

 

I give good tweet 

 I still say Nel needs a skelp on the lug! 

(A virtual one, of course, as I don't want him suing me.)

 Well done, you!

My sons have said the same. 

Hubby said he wake me and send me to investigate - wimp! 

He's only kidding, he would get up and investigate but he would wake me up.

they favoured my tweet as well 

 

 

don't like the imposter analyst on sky news - he's not Llewellyn of the fascinating ties   *withdrawal symptoms* 

 Wow good going!  You do indeed 

Where has your tie man gone?

must admit I'd go and investigate but not before waking everyone in the house and picking up my camogie stick 

       

So if she was meant to be hiding from a man with a gun/bat surely she would have been crouching by the side of the toilet not standing directly behind the door

I would imagine he's very busy - he's head of the Northern District of Gauteng judicial system, he teaches at a local university and he has a private practice with his wife as a solicitor - defence I believe so he can't be there every day which is a shame as he's the best analyst  

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Roux next talks to OP.  

well according to OP she should have been crouching by the side of the bed  he still insists remember that he didn't know at that time it was Reeva in the loo 

 

I would say there was very little space to hide although if she hadn't been struck by the first shot (which the analysts don't think killed her) she may have stood a better chance at being able to lie flat against a wall 

Me too N'arf - that's if they're still on speaking terms considering OP has transferred a lot of blame for his 'mistakes' on to Barry 

I put it to you . . . sound like Rumpole of the Bailey LOL

 

That if Reeva thought there was an intruder she may have been pressed up against the door to listen to what was happening

The state's case would make more sense, if she had been crouching in the corner.

Which sways things in Oscar's favour.

That's a good supposition Saint and may explain why he was able to hit her with such accuracy - someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the first shot hit her right hip? 

You know a lot about him, have you been doing some stalking research?

Yes.

What's a camogie stick?

not necessarily - In his head if heard her move to the door he could have perceived it to be intruders but if the State is correct she could have moved to the door to see if he still pursuing her following a row - to be fair though the State hasn't proved they did row 

Oooh good point. Bet that didn't go down well  

 

female version of a hurling stick 

 

 

 

  

I did indeed stalk research his ties    didn't get much info as most of it is in Afrikaans  

 Can I borrow it? I have someone in mind who needs a skelp.

In this case there are far too many 'unknowables' to gaurantee a conviction for premeditated murder i think

Well don't bother with the court interpreters 'cos they are rubbish.

I agree with you.

I put it to you that Gerrie will twiddle is glasses and laugh in your face woman 

Even picturing him doing that is making my blood boil. The arrogant, patronising, condescending little barrister needs taking down a peg or two. In a virtual sense, of course.

especially that woman whose voice goes up and down and gets irritated when she's interrupted whilst translating 

Ag man!  I can tell you're feeling the love for Gerrie 

 

 That's so true, she does do that.
