Two fans? That's news to me. I remember OP originally stated one fan.

Is there a murder charge? So far all firearms charges?

Attacking Det Botha's credibility, saying scene contaminated.

Yes, 2 fans now AND he says he KNEW Reeva was in bed when he went to collect the fans. How stupid can this man make himself look.

Trying to get character evidence thrown out.

One question I really hope they ask him: if he was so worried about intruders why were the balcony doors open, especially if he knew that workmen had left a ladder nearby? Wouldn't an intruder come in through the open balcony doors rather than through a tiny ensuite window?

 

[zwiebel]

Defence:
State has 'no evidence' of argument. 'Assassination attempt of my character'.

Absolutely. The ladder apparently was not tall enough to reach the bathroom window, the dogs were in the yard and did not bark. They were guard dogs but also pets too.

Prosecution outlining case /charges now.

 

[zwiebel]

Clerk just noticed Oscar standing all this time, asks judge if he can be seated.

Poor Mrs. Steenkamp - she's crying. My heart breaks for her. Reeva was so beloved by her parents.

 

[zwiebel]

Judge Masipa is a former crime reporter.

First mistake by PT - worrying. They had no opening statement and had to think something up on the spur of the moment. I am gobsmacked!
