The wait for a bed in a mental institution is 6-12 months at least. OP is not a paranoid schizophrenic or suffering psychotic episodes, so this is quite a normal arrangement. The institution is also a prison type environment (you are locked up), and she does not see this as "fair" at the...

The lack of space in state institutions is going to allow OP to take his treatment at home.

I have posted a number of times in y'days thread - Nel misspoke on 3 days. In SA it is 30 days!

Just to help the understanding... It is most definitely 30 days, not 3. If he does go for observation, there will be 3 state employed psychiatrists (1 neutral, 1 PT, 1DT) who will interview him over the 30 days in Te institution. They then compile a joint report which goes to court. All of...

@ Viper - I can assure you that it is 30 days.

And I have just listened to Prof of Psych say exactly the opposite. That Anxiety can be a driver to success. The fear of failure pushes him further on the track. Just shows you what a guess so much of this all is. Reeva remains dead behind the locked door...

It is 30 days, not 3... Nel misspoke. I think he is calling his bluff.... You want to pretend you have a mental problem, FINE - go to the mental institution, get prodded and poked and listen to the inmates howling at the moon and lets find out for real. As Nel says to Roux - "this was...

Which is why he will not go. Nel is just beating OP up because he can! He has chewed up and spat out his DT witnesses one by one.

100% - although Nel had already done that with OP on the stand. I don't think Nel believes this was rage, it is just that by going that far with the charges, his fall back is still a murder conviction, not CH. The guy is living up to his reputation and it is remarkable to watch him in action.

Industrial Psyc specialises deals with work place issues / employee behaviors / organisational issues. It is a globally recognised profession.

Their input will be in the report.

Nel wants to cover his ass in appeal, which is where this is heading. He doesn't want things overturned on a technicality for not acting when he should have. He is also being allowed to flex his muscles because OP is in an impossible position. By not entertaining OP's version in the...

Correct. And he has a clear memory of events. This witness should have been called during the sentencing phase.

Yep, 30 days in SA. The trial stops dead until the report comes back. If shown that the accused is not fit, it all stays on hold until he is. It will be in a state hospital Witkoppies or Sterkfontein, which have good doctors, but have deteriorated badly over the last few years. Dewani is at...

He is saying that the windows and doors actually moved / made the noises. OP did not hear the noises only in his own head (the voices made me do it). This is a massive backfire for DT.
