Hi Cape - loving your posts!
Okay, couple of questions. Please bear with me :smile:
1. One of the Standers (Johann) has been in court listening to evidence as far as I recall. I thought witnesses weren't allowed to be in court before giving evidence?
2. The missing phone. The DT handed it in a couple of weeks later. Since OP's house was a crime scene and someone deliberately removed the phone, can the Judge at least ask how the DT came to be in possession of it, ie; who gave it to them?
3. Do you have any idea what loose ends Nel might tie up in his closing argument? There seemed to be many things that he didn't pursue that several of us thought he would pursue. Is that part of his master plan to weave it all together right at the end? Can he imply that whoever removed the phone must have been someone of authority?
4. Is it at all possible that the Judge could be influenced/intimidated by people in higher places to let him walk free? If the scene was disturbed intentionally and included stealing a watch to make it look like the police were bumbling thieves, then certain people have gone to great lengths to protect OP. Bearing that in mind, do you think the Judge is immune to pressure from external sources?
Thank you!
