First do you have any answer as to why Reeva at 3:00 am chose not to turn on the only switch at the entrance of the passage to the bathroom that turned on all the lights in that area ie passage, bathroom, toilet and shower.She then went on to place her vanity bag on the bathtub, left her phone on the rug in front of the shower then entered the toilet with a broken light locked the door and took a pee in total darkness.OP testified that Reeva opened one sliding window in the bathroom, why would she undertake this meaningless exercise in total darkness?This is when OP came howling and screaming at the intruder to get out of his house.
If you have any logical explanation for her behavior, then we are in business.
I just had the strangest thought reading this - and forgive me if anyone else has already put this in this thread or on the forum.
What if Reeva had a really awful night with OP, was deflated that he hadn't even thought of her for VD, they had argued, etc. and got up to sneak to the bathroom to put her clothes on and get out of there without waking OP and getting into another argument?
She opened the bathroom window and threw her jeans out of them knowing that putting them on might make too much noise (yes, putting denim on skin is noisy in the dead of night.) Perhaps, she even did this before OP got up to play cha-cha with the fans. Maybe she purposely bunched the duvet up to make it appear as if she might be beneath it.
Then dipwit OP went commando and shot through the door knowing full well there was a person behind it but maybe, in some parallel universe, far, far away in a distant galaxy, he is somehow on some level telling a tiny bit of truth (he is a rather paranoid, twitchy type, and way too reckless with his gun).
I don't really believe anything I've written and please don't discredit me for it. I do whole-heartedly believe the opposite and that he killed her in a fit of rage.
But sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction and if something liked that happened, it would explain some of his inconsistencies. I mean, if they were arguing but he didn't mean to shoot her (per his version), he still would not even want to admit the arguing at all. See what I mean? He may feel he must lie about all of it in order to be found not guilty. When, in fact (per his version), the devil really is in the details.
So, just musings is all. But what if that poor girl really did get shot being mistaken as a burglar by a very disturbed man while trying to sneak out in the middle of the night.
- didn't turn lights on
- didn't immediately yell out to him or try to tell him where she was
- jeans thrown out window (presumably)
- didn't turn cell light on (possible she could have felt her way to the bathroom just as OP claimed he did)
- bag packed
- snack eaten
- no gift for her and she really didn't want to spend the night there anyway
- hot/muggy night with no AC - who's to say she couldn't sleep that night and was literally wide awake thinking of how she'd made a mistake with OP
Again, I don't believe this, but it did just pop into my head. (And to be very, very clear - this is not in any way blaming Reeva. She did nothing at any point to deserve the horrible fate she suffered.)
