But that's how expert witnesses with such long reports do it... i.e., using their notes as they can't be expected to learn it all off pat
The difference for me is family member versus accused. Defendants are advised to not speak to State's witnesses so they can't be accused of witness tampering or intimidation. It's a pretty standard admonition. So, if the rules are 'bent' and this accused isn't admonished for saying what was perceived as sinister and disturbing, what's really to stop a future defendant from whispering to a witness 'You're next.' in another trial?
MOO
I think he said between 4-20 cm from the door.
So much for going til 4:30. The pussy.
Oh, I finally get back to the livestream and now the court's adjourned! The amount of breaks in this case makes it feel soooooo long.
Thanks Zwiebel for all the transcribing, much appreciated.
They always close at 3pm on the dot. No later. But often earlier, much earlier :-\
But she is not a witness. She was on the witness list but has not and will not be called. Hence the lawyers saying the Judge can do nothing.
If she were still a witness I would be all for him be hauled over the coals for it. Unless Miss Myers wishes to open a case herself nothing more will be heard of it within this trial.
I think with adjournments and tea breaks, the court sits for about 3.5 hours a day. No wonder it's taking so long!So they start at 9:30, end at 3:00 and get an hour lunch break? That means that on a perfect day court is in session for 4.5 hours. Minus tea breaks and requested adjournments as well I suppose.

From Pistorius Bail Affidavit Statement:
Nonetheless, I undertake not to communicate with any witness, whoever he or she may be, and any other persons whose names may appear on a list of State witnesses, to be provided by the State.

Ah - I can help you there - up on the right-hand side is a live feed of comments - you can click to turn it off, or mute I guess. I close it.I get the knocking sound of a ping pong ball every few seconds. Dunno what that is, it's been doing it all day.
