Two or four bullets fired through the toilet door?
The indictment makes it clear: OP fired FOUR shots through the closed [toilet] door at Reeva. Two bullet holes are seen (marked) at the door on the crime scene pictures - the other two bullet holes should therefore have been found on the broken panel.
Is it important for the PT's indictment of "premeditated murder" whether OP was on his prosthetic legs or not?
No, because alone the fact that "he fired unlawfully and intentionally FOUR shots [not one, not two, not three - but FOUR] with the direct intension to kill a person" justified "premeditation" - whether he was on his prosthetic legs or not.
The testimony of some witnesses (not only one witness): a woman screamed..... followed of moments of silence..... then gunshots..... then more screaming - additionally underscore this and proves once and for all that he knew AND heard it was Reeva in the toilet and NOT an intruder.
Was the bullet found by the DT (Perumal) inside the toilet bowl the same bullet that crushed Reeva's skull?
No! As we know so far, the bullet that crushed Reeva's skull (and all the other bullets) only caused an entrance wound.
No exit wounds were mentioned.
So, the bullet found inside the toilet door was another one, the fourth fired through the door but missed Reeva's body. And this fourth bullet caused a mark at the wall in the toilet.
In the skull, gunshot wounds often produce numerous fractures due to rapidly increasing pressure as the bullet travels through the skull.
For all:
8.35am Reeva Steenkamp's post mortem showed three entrance wounds, on the right side of the head above the ear.
She also had another gunshot wound in the arm which broke her elbow and another in her hip.

I cannot figure this out so need your help. If OP fired four shots, three of which entered her head on the right side, and the fourth one missed her body causing a mark on the wall, how do you account for the two other gunshot wounds - one in the arm which broke her body and another in her hip? Did they first enter her head?
Also was this fourth spent bullet projectile the one found in the toilet bowl after it ricocheted off the wall so it had no body tissue on it?
