LOL the conspiracy theory is that Nel has kept the professor on the stand deliberately until Monday because he knew this video was coming out WTH?
Yes it was made clear the uncle hired this team not the DT
Interesting read. A few extra "tid bits" of info. Thank you for the link.
It mentions that his sister is the person used for the reenactment.
Roux has got one hell of a battle on his hands to keep the video out but it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't get in. Judge Masipa may also be concerned about the timing of it's release.
I can't help but wonder at what point the state saw 'murder' rather than it being the tragedy that OP wants us to believe? There must have been things heard and seen from that crime scene that we'll never get to know about because of Botha but somebody suspected there was more to Reeva's killing.
For those who actually saw the full video, do you think it helps the PT or the DT case or just serves to add to massive confusion?
Just hearing about this this morning and i have not seen video. My thought is that this was used for a focus group by the defense. This is been done before in high profile cases privately for groups in a confidential focus group to see what the strengths and weaknesses are of the case and how the jurors would vote (augh bringing back memories of when Vinniee politan did his after dark series during the arias trial)

What about the fact that OP did not have his prosthesis on when he pulled 'RS' out of the cubicle? What are we to make of that?What they attempted to do was give both sides & let the audience decide which one they believed, but it lent more on the OP version of events.
That's the bit that worries me… something is afoot legally speaking… don't know what
Will have to wait for Monday to see what develops… would NOT be surprised that Roux has an application for Masipa on Monday morning.

A few more pics from re-enactment that shows doubt whether, or not OP using prosthesis when lifting sister out of toilet.

Good morning AJ! Well here we are. I have not been able to watch the video of course, but the kind Aussies here have painted the picture. It seems like a puff piece for the DT, and a very short one at that. So it looks more and more like you were right about this, I'm glad I didn't bet against you! But on the other hand it is still a dumb move as Dr. D will be on the stand tomorrow and the short clip that I did see shows OP has much greater mobility than Dr. D and Dr. V, the psychiatrist, would lead the court to believe.
I have not read any reports of the DT filing any court documents seeking an injunction against the airing of the video, so it must have been a fruitless endeavor to even try. Uncle Arnold sold the tapes, most likely. But Roux, did he know and approve it? I doubt it. Too risky with too much downside, which hopefully we will see unfold tomorrow!
But if Nel uses portions of the video, I wonder if Roux will request that the court watch the whole biased thing with hopes that it influences the court's opinions about what happened. Hmm... Still risky, I'm sure Nel will be ready to pick it apart if that should happen.

How convenient for Oscar that Aimee did not have a shattered upper right arm, and did not have a lifeless left arm dangling.
Thanks for posting. It seemed incredibly unlikely that they would shoot footage of him lifting someone WITHOUT his prosthesis on. In the footage from the trailer it was unclear, but this clears things up. Thanks again.Toilet photo from video......View attachment 54214
