I don't see that anybody is discussing this just yet, so I wanted to get your take on the exchange between Roux and Johnson today detailing the times of the phone calls.
Charl Johnson calls security from his wife's cell phone at 3:16am. The call lasts for 58 seconds.
After, he throws the phone down and goes back to the balcony (probably takes several seconds), he hears the screams again and then the gunshots. So lets just estimate that perhaps some time around 3:17:30am is when the shots take place.
Oscar's call to Stander (security) was placed at 3:19:50. (I believe I heard 50seconds but he could have said 15 seconds, correct me if I'm wrong).
So there was a very short time frame, about 2 minutes between when the shots went off and when Stander was called.
According to Oscar's bail affidavit, the following occurred after the shots:
- He ran to the bedroom & realized Reeva was not in bed (still on stumps).
- He returned to the bathroom but the toilet door was locked (still on stumps).
- He went back to the bedroom, opened the balcony door, exited and yelled for help (still on stumps).
- Now he put on his prosthetic legs.
- He ran back to the bathroom tried to kick the door open which didn't work.
- So he ran back to the bedroom to grab his cricket bat.
- Then he ran back to the bathroom and bashed the door in.
- He then found the bathroom key on the floor, unlocked the door and pulled Reeva out to the bathroom.
- HE THEN PHONED STANDER.
After that call is when he went downstairs to open the front door. Then he went back upstairs to get Reeva and carried her down the stairs. On his way down the stairs, Stander arrived as well as a doctor who lived in the neighborhood. Seems like they would have gotten there pretty darn quick.
Something is wrong here. There is no way in the world he could have done all of that in less than 2 minutes before calling Stander, especially since part of it was without his legs.
So it begs the question... at what point in the event did he actually call Stander? Was if pretty much right after the shots? Did he do all the running around and bashing in with the cricket bat after calling Stander?
I think this is a very crucial part in the story to figure out.
