Trial Discussion Thread #8 - 14.03.17, Day 11

[soozieqtips]

When asked to explain the importance of target ID, the accused said:

"Know your target and what lies beyond."

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/oscar-pistorius-trial-live-updates-3251220

So he either knew his target and what lay beyond, and deliberately killed Reeva, or... he should never have been allowed to own guns since he wasn't able to apply the law to ownership.

 

[Really?]

Without having to go look them up, does anyone know how the time of the photographer's picture taking lines up with Van Rensberg's tour of the scene?

 

[zwiebel]

OP said he rushed back into the bedroom and put on his legs, yelled out of the balcony and then went back, broke down the door, got Reeva out of the toilet and took her downstairs. Nowhere does he say he went back into the bedroom near the bedside table, after he had got Reeva (and so had blood on him).

He may have wriggle room by saying he put those blood spatters on the bedroom wall somehow when he disappeared upstairs to wash his hands, after Reeva was laid at the bottom of the stairs. On the duvet too.....

Oh - that term that Nel pronounces as 'meter data' is meta-data.

[zwiebel]

There is a fragment near the cricket bat handle. Cartridge?

 

[BritsKate]

Bloody cricket bat certainly appears to have blood smears rather than droplets. Droplets all around cricket bat though.

 

[zwiebel]

They are saying 'This' is a photo of the cell phone, but all I can see is a gun on a towel.

 

[zwiebel]

Cell not visible when photgrapher entered room.

'I picked up the towels duing my investigation, that's when I saw the cell'.

 

[Trooper]

Nein mi lady.. it was under the towel.. Ipicked up the towel. after photographing it ..

109.... 6.19.... why did you pick up the towel???

just to make sure there was nothing underneath it..

 

[zwiebel]

Nel: Why did you pick up the towel?

SR: Just to make sure...I didn't miss anything important.

 

[salberg7]

I remember seeing an article that theorized RS was shot in the hip first in the bedroom, then ran to the bathroom. While the hip wound would have been immobilizing, maybe with an adrenaline rush, RS had enough strength to flee to bathroom. This testimony of blood above the headboard is not good for OP. Let's see how Roux spins this. Very interesting.

 

[zwiebel]

He also turned the cricket bat over to take pics of both sides.

 

[zwiebel]

The sig side of bat has a thick bloodstain, not spatter. As though it was dropped in pool of blood.

And for some reason photo man put the towel in the tub??
