I wish I was from Oz, I'm from sunny UK unfortunately
You're correct. I have pruned - specifically because I believe that things happened a lot quicker than have been imagined.
A while ago I demonstrated how the distance from the bedroom to the bathroom was that short it would take no more than approx. 7 seconds at normal walking pace. I added a few seconds on for OP's stumps and slower movement down the corridor though. I also remember people mentioning screaming during the shots could have continued for a considerable while. Once you realise that the shooting from start to finish was over in less that 4 seconds it puts an entirely different perspective on things. How many screams can you possibly squeeze into 4 seconds?
Every tiny detail is analyzed during trial and questioned time and time again. What happened in 20 seconds sounds more like it took 10 minutes.
With regard to OP's 'version' it's been detailed step by step because Nel wants it that way. A prosecutor hasn't got much chance of catching anybody out if he/she just accepts that they got from A to B in 10 seconds. OP's statement says exactly what happened from start to finish in a few paragraphs.
I agree with your suggestion regarding OP's testimony. He knows what Nel is trying to do without a doubt, and he's changed some things to avoid being proven wrong. This usually does more harm than good. I can sort of understand why he's doing this, but I don't agree with it. He won't just come out and say 'I didn't see Reeva leave the bedroom - you either believe me or you don't'.
You're being asked to prove that you
didn't see someone. Which isn't as easy as it sounds.
