'Contamination, disturbance, tampering'. Rinse, repeat. Look, I'm trying really hard to remain respectful of differing opinions here but you said yourself just a day or two into the State's case that witnesses who didn't allow for concessions that there could be a different version of the truth were making themselves look like fools. Not verbatim, of course, but that it made their testimony suspect because they were so dogged.
Anytime he was asked about those fans he kept repeating defence memo talking points instead of actually stating what he'd done. Then he became agitated because he refused to actually answer. If it didn't hurt him, it sure as hell didn't help either because it made him seem evasive even if he isn't - it made him look like he's persecuting investigators even if he isn't - it made him appear as though he's trying to obfuscate even if he isn't.
MOO
ETA: Eventually Oscar did concede but I believe the damage was already done by that point. Or non damage, as some will have it.
Ok, I thought there was some big point made about the fans or where they were plugged in. That's what I was asking about ...
