#OscarPistorius arrived in court accompanied by a man. I"ve not seen him before - he’s not one of the brothers-in-law. BB

ENCA saying proceedings now expected to start at 10am SA time which is 8am UK time.

eNCA YouTube page countdown clock now indicates 9:30 start time!

Here's the man BB was referring to:

Says live stream is starting soon!

 

[Giles]

We're live!

 

[JudgeJudi]

Here we go.

 

[Interested Bystander]

So much for ENCA!

 

[JudgeJudi]

An onus on the ACCUSED!!!

 

[JudgeJudi]

Stop say "the accused". He's a convicted murderer ... and you know it.

 

[JudgeJudi]

OP will agree to electronic monitoring.

 

[soozieqtips]

Lol. The accused has 'offered' to proceed with house arrest but with stricter conditions. How every big of him.

 

[Interested Bystander]

I wonder where they will tag him?

Roux: #OscarPistorius has agreed to continue with house arrest condition - but on stricter terms @eNCA

Roux: #OscarPistorius has agreed that he will only leave his uncle's home with permission from the police @eNCA

Judge questions why bail conditions so much stricter than those of house arrest. Roux: state insisted @eNCA

 

[soozieqtips]

He's known not to have posed a risk during other bail applications.

Yes. But he wasn't a convicted murderer then!!!

 

[soozieqtips]

Oh God. Judge saying for OP to stay in house all day amounts to punishment?

 

[KarenUK]

I wish I hadn't started watching this... I've got to leave for work in five minutes and I'm not going to get out of the door

 

[DexterMorgan]

The judge seems lenient already. Especially asking why should the conditions be more strict.

Omg.

 

[soozieqtips]

Nel doesn't want him to be allowed to leave the house at any time. Stressing that he's now a convicted murderer looking at 15 years.

 

[JudgeJudi]

Nel feels strongly that OP should not leave the house at any time.
