Exactly, if I had been RS, if nothing else I would have opened the door to let him in to safety after having heard him screaming all the way down the hallway towards me, obviously in fear for his life(assuming you believe OP's version).
This is interesting. In the beginning, I didn't give much thought into this because I reasoned that it wasn't really implausible to assume Reeva would have kept quiet if/when she heard Oscar screaming
to the intruder to get out of the house. (And for her to lock the door at that point. - Although Oscar hasn't testified to hearing the door being locked, only closed shut, right? When did she lock the door then??) Because I reasoned that it would have been possible for her to be so scared at that point, because she would have assumed there were indeed intruders somewhere in the house, and wouldn't necessarily realize that Oscar was mistaking
her for the intruders - so she would have perhaps just kept quiet, and not reply anything to him (in that scenario).
But, after today's testimony, and after thinking about it a bit more, I also came to doubt if Reeva would have kept quiet (in this Oscar's version), if she had heard Oscar
approaching her. Because, if she had heard him approaching the cubicle, then she would have presumed that he is, at that point,
running away from the danger/intruders. And she would, in that case, also assume that Oscar is, at that point, closer to her than the intruders, and that he is actually running/escaping/retreating towards her? And would, in that case - in all probability - want to help him (to get further away from them)? If not by immediately opening the cubicle door for him to enter, than at least by shouting something back to him, or asking him something? For example, whether to unlock the door for him, or not?! Or something to that effect? (I'm just trying to imagine myself in that situation...)
Because I can imagine her wanting to keep quiet (in order to keep her location hidden), if she had just heard Oscar screaming to the intruders
somewhere else, or further away in the house. But if she heard him going
towards her (and screaming to the intruders to leave the house), then I don't see her slamming the door shut in front of him at that point! (As he testified today.)
But even if I accept his version to be the truth, then why hasn't she called the police, immediately after hearing him scream to her to do that? Why isn't there any record of that on her mobile phone? Ok, maybe she didn't have the time (like Oscar wants us to believe.) But, there are simply too many loose ends in this Oscar's story. Far too many for his version to be plausible.
