Apropos OP's friends and associates. Lisa's blog (Juror13) has some interesting posts by people who seem to know the circles he moves in. This cannot be proved, of course, but worthy of a few minutes of your time to read what they had to say.
These are the relevant dates and posting times:

Thank you Lisa for your help.
Thanks Bystander
interesting allegations from Miktal - 8/26/14 @ 2:30pm, so I'll post part in case anyone else is interested :
......"Just want to pass on a little bit of knowledge I`ve learned about the trial. From a very reliable source but will still refer to their comments as alleged.
The defence allegedly offered a plea of Culpable Homicide before the trial started, but Nel rejected it. No doubt this “plea” involved a gentle slap on the wrists for OP.
Allegedly, those who move in OP circles, all believe he lost his temper with Reeva and shot her, no one buys his intruder story as they are well aware of his temper. Possibly the reason why only family are there to support him.
The VIP room incident is allegedly true, he did instigate the argument while drunk. The owner does have the security tapes,but doesn’t want to give them up. Possible gold dust after the trial methinks?
Also, the reason OP called Divaris the night he shot Reeva, was to allegedly ask for certain “help” dealing with the situation using his “connections”, but JD refused. He was not happy at all that OP even called him and got him involved....." Miktal
Just on the JGreenland audio, he confirms what we have already heard from legal experts, particularly important parts about inevitable appeal but Court of Appeal can't interfere with the sentence:
Basically he says it won't change the sentence Masipa gives him on Oct 13th. Only way that can happen is .." in the unlikely event JM gives a meaningful sentence " and thus OP "on the horns of a dilemma" appeals that given sentence, State cross-appeals on basis of corrected verdict of dolus eventualis and then Appeal court could increase sentence
Apologies for somewhat garbled summary by me ! It's approx 42.20 mins into audio 1
