Hi all. I've been following this in the news some days, only just now following on WS. It's killing me that these two gorgeous young hotties had so little of life; that their young lives ended so brutally, so unnecessarily, just as they were starting out on the great adventure of life. I...

Thank you!

Thanks, JJ. It's good to know he's not going anywhere anytime soon. And yes, I'll be looking forward to the SCA appeal too, if it happens. I missed pretty much all of the Pistorius case; it had already been going several months by the time I joined WS and I didn't feel equal to diving in at...

It's enough, though. Henri stays where he belongs. What I'd like to know is, if he had been granted the appeal, would he also have been granted bail?

Well that's just crazy. How on earth could a different judge, hearing the same evidence, come to a different conclusion? And there's Desai apparently "at fault" for saying it was an inescapable conclusion. :rolleyes: I think Kelly Phelps is off on another planet ... o_O

Thanks, T! They're in the ground and yes, it was hard work. Now get to look forward to late spring and vases of super fresh roses, all chosen to be pink, peach, cream, thornless, fragrant, and long lasting cut flowers. Yesss! :D;):)

Great post, JJ - thank you!

Thanks for your reply, IB, that's very insightful of you. I guess that perceptiveness is the payoff from all your interested bystanding! So given Desai has put it out there that he's looking for mitigating circumstances, that sounds like he's saying he'll do all he can for HvB short of accept...

rsbm Oh ack JJ, what rotten timing for you. Did wonder where you'd got to. Sorry to hear it.

rsbm Hey, IB: if you should have the time or inclination to elaborate on why you feel Desai would rather not have imposed the mandatory sentences, I'd be very interested to hear your train of thought. But please don't feel obliged to respond if you'd rather not. I agree Henri's lack of grief...

I read somewhere that it's actually going to be next Monday, so ... I dunno. :confused:

I have no idea how to do the Twitterer thing, but this: - says to me Judge Desai is not going to allow Henri's appeal.

WATCH LIVE: Henri van Breda's application for leave to appeal

:eek:o_O:confused:

Sleep well y'all. Nice to find this little guy again.

Be interesting to know what those additional 8000 pages relate to, wouldn’t it? I imagine finances will be a large part of it; because if Vic Pol believe they have sufficient evidence to put him away for murder, then they have to be able to show motive, and I imagine his desperate financial...

Thanks, Prime! I had no idea it was coming up because I don't normally watch tv - but I'll make an exception in this case!

Oh heck yes. Remember when the botanist gave his evidence at the Gerard Baden-Clay trial about the leaf litter in Allison's hair that matched the plant foliage from their backyard, but was no match to the foliage found along Kholo Creek or even upstream - that was just sensational. I really...
