I've invented nothing, and I'm not the one bending anything to fit a hypothesis. There is no reason to get angry because I'm not willing to consider speculation that has not even been alleged by the State, is not supported by any evidence, and is not the state's case.
Not one witness testified that they heard two separate cries for help from Oscar. So, yes, I do reject that Oscar yelled "help, help, help" before 3:17 and again after 3:17. That's why I say my opinion is based on the evidence we have actually heard and seen - and not some alternative theory that I have made up to fit a preconceived notion. Again, that's the evidence, and that is what I'm basing my opinion and discussion on.
We have five witnesses who heard Oscar yelling "help, help, help" before the final bangs at 3:17 - Burger, Johnson, Mrs Stipp, Carice Stander, and Mrs N. Dr Stipp is the only one who said the "help, help, help" was after the last sounds at 3:17 - he did not say he heard those yells both before and after the 3:17 bangs. To me this indicates that Dr Stipp was simply mistaken about the timing of those yells since it is contrary to what 5 other witnesses heard.
If Nel is now going to argue that the "help, help, help" was after the 3:17 bangs, then it goes against 3 of his own witnesses who heard it before 3:17.

In the latest you surpass yourself. You say:
Not one witness testified that they heard two separate cries for help from Oscar. So, yes, I do reject that Oscar yelled "help, help, help" before 3:17 and again after 3:17.
I.e. you reject what no one has claimed or suggested - that Oscar called for help twice.
Let's try again very slowly...in chronological order.
1. First set of bangs.
2. Reeva utters bloodcurdling screams and cries for help.
3. Second set of bangs.
4. Oscar yells and cries for help.
I am not asking you to accept that this is what happened. I am just pointing out that it is physically possible and maximizes the credence we can extend to all witnesses.
You have specifically stated that you believe that some of Dr Stipp's testimony is factually erroneous. You have also claimed that interpreting Mrs N's bang as belonging to the second set contradicts prosecution witnesses. You have also repeatedly stated (though not recently) that if a scream was heard after bangs this proves that Reeva did not scream before being shot.
All of these theories of yours are based on the assumption that witnesses recounting approximately similar events (bangs, cries) must all be recounting the same events even if we have to make major adjustments to their timelines and details (number of bangs) to harmonize them.
I have no abjection to your finding that the most credible interpretation. But I do object to pretending that it is not an interpretation at all. And I do object to your erroneous claim that there is no scenario capable of reconciling the substance of all witness statements and leaving intact the testimony of Dr Stipp who is by far the most credible witness on the spot, possessing all relevant competence and the only person who stayed calm, acted by the book and clearly has no axe to grind.
