I don’t think English is his first language. I think it is an Afrikaans accent that has been blunted by years of private schooling and living abroad Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don't believe there is a pair of Converse All Stars in evidence. Unless I misunderstood your comment? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Apologies JudgeJudy, not sure how to properly quote and comment on snippets that are not consecutive. IS: They started to fight but Henri managed to take the axe from the attacker who then pulled a knife and stabbed him. Henri hit him with the blunt side of the axe at the back of his body at...

I think the ex-boyfriend testified as to the nature of the argument: http://ewn.co.za/2017/05/11/van-breda-trial-witness-told-marli-i-want-to-murder-the-people-around-you Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

To be honest, our news here is dominated by local politics at the moment. I have not heard people discuss this case much, even though it is covered in the national news every court day. Unlike the OP trial; because he is a celebrity almost everyone had an opinion. I never followed OP, as I...

I have caught up on this local-to-me case over the past week. It was highly disturbing to read of the post-mortems. How terrifying their last moments must have been. I was wondering if some of Rudi's and Henri's injuries relate to a physical fight earlier the evening. Damaged fists, swollen...

I keep thinking: if SP is too scared to tell the truth about her abductors, what is the easiest way to make up the facts? Maybe opposites? Not two women, but two men. Not Hispanic, but black or white. Not a dark coloured SUV; but a light coloured one... And then I keep thinking about a lone...

I just looked at famous kidnapping cases where the victim survived. Most are to do with ransom or sexual predators. The one that doesn't fit, is the Patty Hearst case. I am not clear on motive, but she was also locked up and battered, until she became brainwashed to help the terrorist group that...

I am also a bit or a lurker and almost never post. This is one of the cases I have studied in great detail. Like you, I also could not get my head around Darlie doing this in cold blood. But after reading the trial transcripts, I just don't see another possibility. And I believe she was driven...

How does that reflect on her guilt or innocence? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I read all the court transcripts and they're very insightful. Guilty for sure. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The difficulty I have with the sock is this : if Darlie , or anyone else for that matter, went out the back gate to plant or drop the sock, why did the police determine that no-one went out the back gate recently (gate closed, no blood, motion-triggered light off)? That is a contradiction...

Charles Ramsey's demeanor is very different on the GMA interview from his original interview at the scene. He looks uncomfortable IMO.

I understand what you are saying. But what if the motive was not robbery, but revenge? I agree, it is very unlikely that Darlie would be left alive then. Unless the perpetrator allowed himself a fixed period of time in the house and his time was up. Or maybe he was alerted by a partner to...
