A thought just rocketed through my tiny pea brain like a Star Trek tribble at warp speed.
The BALCONY LIGHT.
* OP claims he woke up because it was hot and humid.
* OP claims he got up to retrieve the fan(s) and close the balcony doors and curtains.
* The bedroom balcony light was ON.
* OP claims he wanted to cover the small blue LED light on the amplifier because the light bothered him.
Each of these facts alone is not earth-shaking or damning.
But ... put all the rather mundane, seemingly insignificant case pieces together and like Nel said in closing, you’ve got a mosaic.
Why didn’t OP get up to close the doors and curtains because of the glaring BALCONY LIGHT?!!
No, OP thought it was a grand idea to CLOSE the doors and curtains, cut off all air circulation precisely because it was HOT and HUMID! :lol: This is bizarre and totally illogical on its face (especially as many neighbors also slept with their bedroom balcony doors open that night).
While he never, ever mentions that the BRIGHT BALCONY LIGHT bothered him - that teeny-tiny blue LED light on his amplifier suddenly annoyed the everlovin’ crap out of him. But handy-dandy Reeva’s jeans on the floor would fix that devilish little blue light and keep him occupied while Reeva silently, invisibly disappeared off to the toilet.
A Mosaic of 24K Deceit.
[IMHO the (open) balcony doors, (open) curtains, fans, duvet and jeans were EXACTLY as police first photographed them that morning - there was no police “tampering”.
I believe the balcony doors and bathroom window both were ALWAYS open that hot night (air circulation) - that’s why five ear witnesses heard as much as they did. All of OP’s closing/moving/opening was pure fiction.]
Poor Oscar. He thinks he’s so brilliant with his “intruder” story - “ducking and diving” to constantly tailor his story when hit with dead ends, one-way streets ... and Nel.
He’s arrogant enough to actually believe that he’ll skate out of court back to his old life.
Unfortunately, he’s not half as brilliant as even half the members of Websleuths.
Let’s just say I wouldn’t want to commit murder and have a bunch of Websleuthers hot on my trail! LOL
