Both.
A couple of times earlier than the time stamps you cite (and again afterwards IIRC), Oscar admits he remembers pulling the trigger. During this exchange, he never claims he accidently fired the gun. In fact just the opposite when Nel offers an "accidental discharge of the weapon" as one of OP's "versions", Oscar corrects him to clarify that he never claimed it was an accidental discharge.
.
Thank you , that was my reasoning too , just wanted to confirm , legally , whether Nel was just trying to clear OP's testimony from the day before "I never intended to shoot at Reeva , or anyone for that matter Mylady , it was an accident" or if in fact Nel also achieved a declaration of intent with that exchange .
The way i read it , to me , it looked both , like you said.
I was just wondering if , on a legal basis , Masipa will have to accept that as intent to shoot or if she can reject it.
I personally don't see how but again , like someone was rightly giggling about the other day : IANAL
