Trial Discussion Thread #26 - 14.04.15, Day 23

I gave the link as it's certainly been the best for me.

Seems good and steady. The Telegraph one kept dropping out, very annoying. I do find that I need to use a different link every day or so as the best one seems to change. Fingers x'd for this one. Thanks.

That pic Roux showed of the jeans right side out on the floor, is that suppose to be the same pair of jeans that Nel was show inside out????

If so is that something big.

Smart by Roux

Little he could do to rehabilitate OP's evidence so keep the re-examination short

 

[jay-jay]

Wow, OP just read out that Valentine's card with hardly any emotion in his voice Reeva said (shortened/not verbatim .. I need to go back and check exact words later) "today is a good day to tell you I love you"

 

[lisasalinger]

Nel started today's cross-examination by saying that the focus of his questions would be to prove that Oscar's story is "so improbable that it cannot be reasonably possibly true"

I believe quite firmly that he has done that.

 

[benn25]

no further re-exam. whaaaat!! hwow:

Debora Patta @Debora_Patta #OscarTrial OP is finished - court adjourns til 12:15 SAST for Defence to call a new witness

[AlexUK]

Oh god more waiting grrr

I feel your pain!

Roux realised OP was a terrible witness and wanted to get him off as quickly as possible.

He will rely on his experts to undo as much damage as possible.

Agreed. Roux knew the best thing he could possibly do is to get him off the stand ASAP.

 

[benn25]

the denim photo that Roux pulled out looks completely different from the one Nel was using. Not only turned out the right way out but infact it was in a completely different place. Bit strange.

Reeva's Valentine card to OP.

"I think today is a good day to say I love you."

Did anyone see it? Sounds like a regular bought valentine's day card to me... with a signature.

 

[sleuth-d-]

lovely valentine sentiment from reeva.

and the card from op to her said? nothing

 

[patCee]

So I guess both PT and DT relying on the witnesses now. More to come out.

Whomever posted this link earlier, thanks! It's a great feed with feeding tweets and am enjoying it over WAT http://www.channel4.com/news/pistorius-trial-murder-watch-live-video

This is the best feed for me. It also has a twitter beneath the video screen.

Who was that lady with a cute voice who asked OP whether the lights were working in his toilet? Was it the assessor, if so she HIT THE NAIL ON OP's HEAD!!!

So do I ..

.. and I think they are well on the way to proving premeditated murder, not culpable homicide.

I'd love confirmation whether those were in fact RS's and not OP's. Surely they had a size on them or brand to help establish whether they were a ladies jean?

Good link I found to quickly check the SA time.
Keeps me from having to think which is hard to do at this time of morning here.
