Tracey has made a walkthrough video of the crime scene. This link is below.

I havent watched it yet (am about to) so I have no other comment to make at the moment.
Tracey made a couple of good points to remember early in the video, the
handbag and laptop on dining table was untouched, the intruders would have walked/run past these at least twice and didn't take them, why?
Two luxurious vehicles in the garage not taken by the intruders, why not? Drawers left open, nothing taken.
Tracey repeats Joubert's assertion that Henri's
close proximity to the intruder on the stairs which he measured with tape should have enabled Henri to make direct contact without throwing the axe, the state/we 'know' he planted the axe for staging purposes, but even in his own statement he threw the axe after the intruder was even standing there, why?
Tracey states Joubert's findings that
Teresa and Marli's legs were facing Henri's bedroom doorway, in Henri's statement the
'intruder' left his bedroom to attack them which we 'know' was HvB, so no need to argue that one.
No blood trace of Marli on HvB isn't a given because Judge Desai asked whether all the blood samples taken were tested and Joubert replied, no. So Tracey didn't mention this but the Judge is on the ball.
Teresa's blood spatter was found on Henri's shorts and a drop on his socks.
Tracey pointed out where Henri allegedly
fainted at the top of the stairs after the fight with the intruder/throwing the axe, but failed to mention Joubert's findings that the
direction of the dried blood trickles from Henri's wounds didn't support this.
The
two blood spatters on the neighbour's wall was explained by Joubert, while Rudi was violently attacked in the bedroom above blood sprayed out the window against the wall.
Tracey said the defence believes it was transferred by the
bloodied intruder's clothing or an object like an axe while fleeing the scene.
She didn't mention the assessor asking Joubert would there be a
trail of blood droplets from the object/gloves/clothing onto the ground/grass
leading away from the house, Joubert replied, possibly.
Obviously, I have time on my hands to write this out but just couldn't help having the last word.
