I can't imagine she will just be handed back her other children though. I am sure there will be months of supervised contact (if any at all), and if the children (who will probably have been told in terms they can understand what happened) are at all uncomfortable at the thought of going back...

Not every pedophile abuses children, some of them keep their urges under control. I wish you would change that to "every child abuser needs to be locked up forever" so that non-offending pedophiles are not scared off from admitting their issue and seeking help.

The jury has to find the witnesses presenting the evidence believable and unbiased.

Looks like more than two flats to me, there are more than two floors. Or do you know of this layout from somewhere reliable?

Because they charge as soon as they have a minimum of evidence, but they like to go on gathering more evidence and more witnesses right up to the time of the actual trial as then the jury (if they use one) or the judge panel are more likely to be convinced. If there is a chance that witnesses...

And another further year before he can watch on a movie things like he would have been enjoying with his wife for two years. Yes I don't understand the ages thing at all either.

I think they use "in connection with" because it's not always clear at this stage whether the charge might shift slightly - from murder to manslaughter or vice versa, or some additional charges like driving underage etc. It just means they have decided they have enough evidence that he's...

Daily Mail seems to be saying it's a boy from one of the other households in that building - remember it's a house divided into flats. <snipped>

Not sure I like all this bargaining.... plea bargaining, immunity negotiating. Surely sometimes people with guilt go free just so as long as *one* of the participants is convicted, and closes the case. I don't know if this is normal globally?

Blegh! I had finally carved out some time from my life to sit and watch another live trial and now it's not going to be on :( I will probably be too busy in September or something.

And... is there even strong evidence the gun was the murder weapon? The jury aren't going to wear "Well years later we stumbled over a gun lying around somewhere" as proof of anything.

Has the accused been in jail all this time? If so he must be really fed up at all the delays too ( that is if he is innocent or if he thinks there is a good chance he can get off)

July 10th it's meant to start

Doesn't seem right that they're showing the jurors, blurrred or not.

I am not getting anything from the WAT stream apart from a still picture saying "Please stand by". Been like that for over half an hour. Are they on a break?

If there was an argument it was probably one of those weird spur of the moment tiffs lovers sometimes have, but as we have been told by Reeva's family that she was rather assertive, and we know OP hates to retreat, I can imagine their arguments would get very heated very quickly. Quite a bad...

I had been wondering this myself all along, until this Friday when OP said he used her jeans to cover up the hifi LED, which presumably she had taken off to get ready for bed. I then realised her shorts were possibly pyjama or underwear shorts.

Well maybe they can sell their story now they've been in the news, and that can help them get their new house. I wish them well. Everyone deserves a break if they can get one.

Though wouldn't most of us try to avoid 35yrs in jail, no matter how guilty we knew ourselves to be? I would anyway lol.

Sorry I am very late to this thread. Was watching the trial so hard I forgot to read the forums :) Anyway I just wanted to say that I was hard pressed to find any decisive evidence one way or the other until OP himself took the stand. Then, even during his *defence* direct, it became rather...
