I hope that this comment will be further pursued. It seems striking that the shooter must have known the exact movements and timing of BT that morning. I have not heard this mentioned in media reports either.

According to previous posts, he was reported to have been sleeping more, and also distracted/inattentive in meetings.

If this is a voluntary disappearance, then what would have been his logic for disposing of the laptop in the river as opposed to just taking it with him to someplace far away?

Did you mean to say "hypothetically possible" that the at hits were inteneded to scare Reeva?

The witnesses Burger/Johnson reported intermingled screams and gunshots with screams fading out right after last gun shot. There is no testimony that new screams were initiated after the last gunshot. Gunshot sounds and screams may travel differently and Burger/Johnson were a ways away.

I recall sometime back on WS, someone saying that it was testified that these tiles were taken off in process of removing door. However, I myself did not read or hear that item of testimony.

Agreed! Occam's razor.

Maybe he wasn't taking into consideration at that point that the door panels could have been pried out instead of batted out.

I was just about to post the same observation. Door cracks and bat marks are two different things. Plausible that one bat crack created the small opening that made it possible to pull and crack door panels later.

I am convinced that this is what the judge is thinking.

bingo!

I went back to the testimony and read that they were unable to identify an object that would make the scratchs and indentations in the steel plate. So that is likely why they did not pursue it.

All this cricket bat discussion reminded me about the bashed up metal bath panel. I do not recall it being mentioned in Nel's cross of Oscar. What do you think? Was it an oversight?

Futile (due to her condition) or not, a gut reaction in this case, as Oscar described it, would have been to seek immediate "emergency responders."
