One of the assessors several times interrupted the Judge with whispers, twice leading to a short adjournment : one must wonder what this was about. Its really unusual, and not explained. "
They left a lot of us scratching our heads.
- The judge took it as fact that the light in the toilet was out. Why were the police and others not asked about this?
Can you imagine how that would have blown OP's story to smithereens? Now that is a tragedy if it was overlooked.
- Oscar fell asleep with lights on, why did he suddenly want total darkness to the extreme extent of wanting to hide the tiny blue LED light?
Yes, I totally agree. In Roux's CA he said OP was bothered about the blue light once he was up?! What the hell, Roux just making that up on the spot I suspect, he probably couldn't get a reasonable answer from OP.
- Did she conclude that Oscar couldnt have known that firing four highly destructive bullets at someone would not be likely to kill them?
The most incredible comment, this is where I believe J Masipa is out of touch with reality.
- Was it not believable when considering a charge of murder, but obvious when considering Culpable Homicide?
As many have suggested before, J Masipa worked her way backwards. She believed it was CH, and set out to prove that's what it was disregarding evidence that conclude otherwise.
- Why was she quoting evidence of Oscars distress, as somehow establishing innocence?
This, personally got my goat the most. She doesn't understand people at all. I'm afraid religion has played a huge part here, and OP played her like a fiddle.
Great post 808, just giving my opinion about those puzzles. Nel tried to put them together, but obviously, J Masipa can't or won't look at the big picture. JMO
