Are we sure that video is for real, not photoshopped or something?
I think they're only going to edit out the points of contention, I.e. The stuff about his family.
If the case is reopened and OP did come back to the stand, one question I'd like answered is the 'breathing' contradiction.
If you guys had one more question or statement to put to OP that Nel didn't, what would it be?

#OscarTrial Footage of OP re-enacting the shooting created by a US company for the Defence but never shown in court to be shown in Australia
I agree, but it seems too crazy to be true!It sure doesn't look like it's photoshopped, but you never know. :dunno: :fence:
I wonder if this was the company that was going to make an animation?, animation was probably never shown because of his contradictions on the stand.
The article at the top of the video states "... that convinced a top forensic expert that he is innocent". If Professor Derman is the one in the video and he's the forensic expert the article refers to then that surely stands as evidence of bias as an expert is not supposed to establish guilt or innocence and is there to present findings to assist the court. Proclaiming innocence of the accused isn't objective. If it is him then perhaps he's thought he was getting one over on Nel by releasing it as Professor Derman would probably have finished his testimony if it wasn't for Nel wanting to speak to the psychiatrist over the weekend but that would be absolutely stupid of the man do to that!
It wouldn't surprise me if it was Uncle Arnold as his family would have believed OP's stories about how the world was against him and they probably thought they'd be helping him if they could prove it must have happened the way OP described it - only to realise something just wasn't quite right so they knew they couldn't put the video out there.
Nel had a hurdle with the zombie stopper video though. Roux objected to it because it wasn't included in the case file as evidence. The only way Nel was able to show it was because he got OP to say under oath that he didn't recall ever making that statement but if he were shown a video of it that would refresh his memory.
This video is unbelievable. Boy would I like to know when and why it was re-enacted. Looks to me like he was creating his defense and was originally going to claim he was on his stumps the whole time.
Derman isn't even a forensic expert, let alone a 'top' one. He's not claimed to be one either.
Hard to see how this video would persuade anyone that OP is innocent, but I guess we've only seen a clip of it so far. And assuming it's not some big hoax.
Found this, written just before the trial began.
"Pistorius has also hired The Evidence Room, an American forensic animation firm based in Cleveland, Ohio, to digitally recreate the crime scene using computer animation, a craft popularized in movies such as Toy Story and Shrek."
