Trial Discussion Thread #50 - 14.08.8, Day 40 ~final arguments continue~

'Two Oscars' .. yes, I agree with that .. I believe he has a dual/Jekyll and Hyde personality.

 

[zwiebel]

R: It's common cause she was behind locked toilet door. You can't see where she was. We simply don't know what happened.

 

[zwiebel]

R: Dooofdoofdooofdooof

 

[zwiebel]

R: All these factors are inconsistent with an intention to kill.

 

[jassy writer]

Mourning??

You can't be serious, Roux! He was off on holiday, out and about clubbing, back in training, AND had a new girlfriend!

 

[JudgeJudi]

Yes, his ears were ringing. And that's why he can't say Reeva wasn't screaming.

 

[zwiebel]

R: His statement at the time counters all that (state say).

 

[PrimeSuspect]

So Roux wants J Masipa to give OP a free pass, he was heavily traumatized so basically forget about his testimony on the stand.
Okay, so what about the sun-roof incident? The shooting in restaurant when handling loaded gun? A life time of free passes.

 

[zwiebel]

Roux says at the time of his statement, it was ot possible for OP to have time to create the version he's supposed to have done.

 

[jay-jay]

R: Why would he want help for her if he wanted to kill his girlfriend?

.. errr, to cover up?

 

[zwiebel]

R: We KNOW the deceased voided her bladder....it's all consistent with the accused's version.

 

[zwiebel]

R: It's never been in dispute, the window was open. It's objective proof....it all makes sense.

 

[jay-jay]

R: Dooofdoofdooofdooof

He keeps reminding me of the beginning of EastEnders! (anyone here in the UK will get that ;-) )

 

[zwiebel]

R: Milady, I want to go para 52 of tate Heads of argument...putative self-defence. They said it cannot be....She voided her bladder, that's an objective fact.

2: She opened the bathroom window. It was hot.

3: You walk with your cell phone...It's not strange

4: She could have though I must hide, keep quiet

5: They said she was dressed. If that means pulling up her pants, that makes sense.

 

[Susza]

Roux goes back to duvet evidence. He's going to turn Nel's baker's dozen into 24......

BBM - Into 26

Roux: his style of conflict resolution is to talk through things. And we have CCTV footage showing them as loving couple.

The_Citizen_Reporter ‏@CitiReporter 1m
Roux reading from psychiatric report. "there were no sings of an abusive relationship"

So 5 or 10 seconds of CCTV footage proves a loving couple? There are plenty of ladies here who'll have a lot to say about that I should think. Does Roux think we're all complete idiots, not to mention the Judge?

 

[zwiebel]

6: Did she stand in front of the door, thinking someone was going to shoot her?

Listing lots of Latin terms that he says 'are all nonsense'

 

[zwiebel]

R: When you charge offence requiring intent, it's subjective.

 

[zwiebel]

R: His version is consistent. He thought she was in the bedroom...he was focused on the bathroom. If he was wrong, think about culpable homicide and we'll deal with that.

 

[zwiebel]

R: On his version, did he at all foresee she was in there, on the toilet?
