BiB on that we are in agreement !!
On Nel appearing lost at times during cross-examination : Let us keep in mind that every single line of questioning that Nel put to OP was previously thought up by the Defence team which extensively prepped OP prior to him taking the stand this is where the aforementioned "intelligence/education" was instrumental : OP was able to assimilate all the evidence and rehearse his testimony over and over with the assistance of a whole team of high-priced attorneys.
When one thinks about the forensics reenactment of the scene that was conducted and "leaked" by the Evidence Room most people believe the primary purpose of that reenactment was to produce an Court exhibit to illustrate the Defence's version of events to the Judge I disagree I believe it was primarily made to create, test and refine OP's fabricated version of events :
1. By play acting a fabricated scene, OP could chronologically construct and tweak a plausible version of events.
2. By reenacting a fabricated scene, OP would engineer real memories of fictitious events this would help him to recount his version on the stand with far greater accuracy and far less hesitation or mistakes.
3. By having an audio/video medium of OP's version, the Defence team attorneys would have something concrete to visualize, analyze and scrutinize so as to find all possible holes in OP's version of events.
One gaping hole Defense fell through was OPs (alleged) deafness after the shots* vs Reevas screams.
Roux declared that Reeva never screamed, that his client screams like a woman, yet produced zero evidence of same.
OP declared she never screamed but then admitted he couldnt hear! What kind of stupid rebuttal evidence is that? It doesnt even rise to the level of ridiculous.
Four ear witnesses had NO hearing problems when they heard Reeva scream for her life, yet Masipa trashed them in favor of the (allegedly) deaf accused. This is judicial illogic (in bed with cherry-picking bias) at its very finest.
Its like asking a blind man to minutely describe the scenery, costumes and lighting in a stage play.
OP was stone-cold silent for 31 seconds (except for crybaby wailing) after Nel asked him if Reeva screamed after the first shot. That silence was wholly damning (giant red flag) - if for no other reason than OP himself introduced serious doubt into his version of Reevas 100% silence.
* How temporarily deaf does one actually become after shooting a gun?
