Scratches (fingernail) or when OP claims he was trying to kick the door down? Were there splinters in RS' fingers or wood under her nails?

In response to Estelle's original question about the length of the trial, I agree with Pisto_lius that it is likely to take longer than two months. I imagine that the DT will file many 'administrative justice' motions that could delay the start of evidence being led and once evidence starts to...

I've been away from WS for a while, but am back as things start to heat up. Thanks again for (all of) your intelligent posts and discussions. I think the judge has a credible background and hope she is above the 'usual suspects' of fear, favour and (political) influence - especially since OP...

All I can say is that if SAPS purposefully wanted to make evidence inadmissible they couldn't be doing a better job! http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Top-Oscar-Pistorius-cop-quits-20131215 "Johannesburg - The head of police who took charge of the crime scene after Oscar Pistorius...

According to the City Press online news, An indictment was served on murder-accused athlete Oscar Pistorius on Wednesday (November 20 2013). Full indictment document on Scribd There are Four Counts: 1 count for murder and 3 counts related to Contravening the Firearms Control Act...

Breaking news: OP fails in bid to block extra gun charges http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Oscar-Pistorius-to-face-gun-charges-20131029 http://www.enca.com/south-africa/oscar

There is a poll I've seen on twitter about the trial outcome: http://t.co/6u2BWdxwk2 ...but a Websleuths poll about what OP may be charged with is a good idea - didn't know Websleuths offers polls.

OP's stumps extend quite far into his blades, so I think OP may be ~20cm taller (165cm) if he is standing on the tip of his stumps, but if he's standing on his knees then 145cm is more likely.

IMO, OP will say: "I can't really remember, but it wasn't a usual sound."

Forgive my ignorance, but I don't know how threads like this are started. Is it possible to change the thread title, when the next one is started, to include Reeva's name: "Oscar Pistorius charged with murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp #5"? Too often, the victims fade and the...

Magistrate Nair noted, during the last day of OP's bail hearing re: Hilton Botha: "He then agreed there was a second urine sample taken. What happened to the first?", in reference to the urine sample that was taken from OP the morning of RS' killing...

Some time back I checked how far back OP's and RS's Twitter accounts went, but now it seems that OP's only goes back to 17 August 2012 and RS's to 11 November 2012 whereas previously they went further back. Does anyone know how one can legally access deleted/ archived Tweets for OP & RS...

Shane13 - You are correct, OP states in the BH Affidavit that the bedroom was "pitch dark". The lighting in the bathroom is indirectly referred to by OP saying "I think I must then have turned on the lights." Based on my very amateur astronomy and the position of OP's bathroom, it would have...

I've been following this thread with great interest over the past months. Thank you for you thought-provoking and interesting observations and analysis. You have provided much food for thought. Here is my first contribution... This has worried me for some time now: How could OP have fired so...
