Just remembered, J Masipa was sold on OP's claim he thought it was an intruder, he said it from the start so it must be true. ![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Its not over until it is over. Personally, I am willing to wait until tomorrow and I'm willing to wait until the actual sentences are handed down; Masipa may yet surprise everyone here. I doubt that OP is resting as easy right now as some of his Internet supporters seem to be, he is still up for 30 years in prison for all of his crimes.
I am also anxious to see if the State will appeal any of the verdicts or the sentences, as I know that they have a right and responsibility to do if either or both are unjust. But at this point, today, we really don't know how hard Masipa will come down on OP, she certainly has not set him free, as many here seem to mistakenly believe, at this moment.
Interestingly enough, IIRC neither Roux nor Oldwage were seen taking notes… as if they knew what the outcome would be !!
Did she disregard the fact that Reeva has eaten around two hours earlier and not the eight hours earlier as
stated by OP?

I'm not suggesting that Masipa will set OP free… not at all
If she gives OP a maximum sentence on all charges (i.e. 30 years)… Defence will have a very nice case for Appeal… which will be heard in more than a year or so… by that time people will have stopped caring… media focus will have shifted… and it will be an easy thing for a higher court judge to reduce the sentence to something OP and the Pistorians can live with.
… I very much doubt that OP would get 15 years for the gun charges… with any judge… with Masipa, probably a slap on the wrist
IMO

I don't believe double jeopardy applies to an appeal whose result may be a murder conviction or a new trial

Yep, don't anyone hold your breathe about any jail time for the gun charges...looking at fine and/or sentence that will be suspended. Gun licence revoked.I am hoping he will get at least 10 years for CH but I think he may only be fined for the gun charges. If there is an appeal and his charge is upgraded that is all to the good. How on earth could Masipa not properly have taken into account what a known compulsive liar he is.

Can anyone tell me where does 3:12AM time for the gunshots comes from ?
From what evidence was this time derived from ?
Cannot be Jonhson or Burger… because they never heard the first set of bangs… they only heard the second set.
Anybody else have an idea ????
Yes very suspicious . that 3:12AM is nowhere to be found it was invented out of thin air and used in a material way to discredit key credible, reliable and corroborated witnesses.
Shame on you Masipa !!!!!!!!!
