François Moller's testimony in chief-examination (the cellphone expert) :
Moller is being led by Nel to explain exhibit ZZ-3 : Reeva's phone detailed billing chart of 13 February
NEL :
" Now, if one would use application like Whatsapp and/or Facebook how would that be indicated on the detailed billing ? "
MOLLER :
" MLady all the social media communications will take place by means of the GPRS connections. "
Moller goes on explaining various incoming and outgoing calls featured in ZZ-3
Moller skips ahead and explains the very last GPRS connection which started at
20:04:17 on 13 February and was uninterrupted until 7:28:06 on 14 February.
Nel asks Moller to skip back and explain the GPRS connection immediately before that last one.
Moller explains that the second to last GPRS connection started at
20:04:00 and lasted
17 seconds.
NEL :
" Now to establish if this was a Whatsapp or what this was, one could refer back to the download report of her handset ? "
MOLLER :
" That is correct MLady, one would have to go back and have a look in the download report if one can actually find any application that made use of the internet for communication and mostly, in this case that she was a regular user on Whatsapp, one will have to go and look at the Whatsapp messages. "
NEL :
" So if theres a Whatsapp message at the same time that would indicate this connection with the internet ? "
MOLLER :
" That is correct MLady. "
Reference :
Oscar Pistorius Trial: Tuesday, 25 March 2014, Session 1 starting at 17:53
Nel was very insistent on
this particular and very brief GPRS connection
he basically invited Judge Masipa to look in the download report, in the Whatsapp messages, at the specific time of 20:04:00.
I may be wrong but
I just can't imagine Nel would say all this if nothing relevant or useful to his case was to be found there.
