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.
Yes, they are the same jeans.
I do not believe there is an issue. Van Staden testified that they documented the scene exactly as it was found, and then for all subsequent photos, they noted what was changed as they investigated and documented.
We know that they opened the duvet, after the initial photographs. That is not a surprise. I'm sure for the jeans, if there was blood spatter in the area, they examined both the inside and the outside.
I do not see this as an issue. The defense wants to keep saying that the scene was changed but there has been no hard evidence to prove that there were intentional changes made to mess up the scene.
I'm not saying that the police did a 100% bang up great job. I do think they made some missteps. But the majority of the testimony, coupled with the photos, has been pretty solid. IMO
