Also we have this from the bail affidavit:"A panel or panels broke off and I found the key on the floor and unlocked and opened the door. Reeva was slumped over but alive." Slumped over but alive; he hasn't picked her up yet. Hmmm ...
Why did the DT persist in this "alive", "breathing" scenario? Maybe because it's in the bail affidavit and they couldn't later back away from it?
Perhaps Jake18 or others with medical knowledge could comment on this possibility. Remember, this would have been 10-15 minutes after the head shot according to the earwitnesses and the DT's "shots first" version.All of Oscar's stories about finding Reeva still breathing or not breathing seem so unnecesarily muddled or perhaps they represent desperate attempts to delay accepting the finality of her death at that moment. So you could chalk it up to wishful thinking on his part (after he suddenly realizes the consequences of his actions and clings to any hope that he can reverse reality) but perhaps when he first picked up Reeva in the toilet cubicle, or as he carried her down the stairs, this action compressed her lungs and he could hear her involuntarily exhale the remaining air in her lungs and mistook it for breathing.
