You're wrong on the OJ case. Most blacks before the trial, and even more when the verdict came, thought OJ was innocent. See http://articles.philly.com/1995-10-01/news/25697504_1_simpson-trial-whites-nicole-brown-simpson Also, comparing the Pistorius case to the JFK case seems wildly off the...

We know OP was a terrible witness and that he lied at times. The Tasha's incident is the most obvious example to me. Let's assume that OP lied about the fans, duvet, and all that. Does that prove OP is guilty of directus? No. Accused but innocent people lie all the time on the stand. Masipa...

If Dr. Stipp, with his military/gun training, could not distinguish between gun and bat sounds - and we know he couldn't because he said he heard 6 or more gunshots, and that's impossible - then Burger, who insisted she knew what a gun sounded like (she was always insisting) - because she had...

Please explain how only CH flows from this to the exclusion of DE.

Please remind me, where did I defend the verdict?

I don't see how you can say "very highly likely", but it's definitely a possibility. Your second point is of course correct and OP's four shots with that close grouping are, along with everything else we know (e.g. "I couldn't fire a warning shot because it might ricochet"), damning. Note...

No one? http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Man-who-shot-wife-in-error-can-sympathise-with-Oscar-20140407

No I didn't say "Gerrie Nel hardly used Reeva's name". turaj had claimed Nel ALWAYS used "Reeva" in referring to RS. I responded to turaj by saying "hardly". Meaning the claim was hardly true. Remember, the claim was ALWAYS, a claim that you heartily seconded, adding a slightly insulting "I...

Yes you are right: I should have said "milliliters" instead of "milligrams". In the HOA, "millimeters" occurs 3 times. I think that is a pretty bad mistake. You and I think differently about Nel. I thought he was unimpressive. I wrote so here...

Oh please. Your comment is everything that's wrong with the "lynch OP" mob.

In post #1480 in Trial Discussion Thread #53 PrimeSuspect wrote, in response to me, "I don't know what trial you listened too but that isn't true. In fact Nel ALWAYS used Reeva's name." That's quite a claim. Always? That's setting the bar at audacious Pistorian levels. I mean, all you had to...

A much worse mistake is in the state's HOA, where "millimeters" is written place of "milligrams" over and over. That is a conceptual mistake, not just a typo, and it's so glaring that it boggles the mind that no one on the PT caught it. ETA: "Over and over" may be overstating it. I just...

Gerry Nel always used her name? Hardly.

The judge did not say that. That was OP's testimony: If I intended to kill I would have aimed higher (or words to that effect). In fact, Masipa suggested this testimony worked against OP in that it showed that he was doing more conscious thinking in firing the gun than he wanted the court to...

partial quote: May I ask: What makes you say that? What does "in fact" mean? Do you mean to imply a professor of law is automatically lower in legal ability than a judge? Masipa is a cipher as far as I can see. Quiet, reserved, polite, inscrutable. During the entirety of the trial prior to...
