General Discussion Thread #1 -Bail Hearing

[Lola]

Botha says the fact the shots hit Steenkamp on her right-hand side indicates she was not sitting on the toilet but was hiding in a different position.

 

[Lola]

Nel asks Botha if shots were fired directly and toilet basin and he agrees. "If you fire straight at the door, you miss the toilet."

 

[Carol70]

Why were both iPhones in the bathroom? Was he holding an iPhone as he fired? Did Reeva have both phones in bathroom with her? That's odd.

"Barry Bateman‏@barrybateman

#OscarPistorius Botha: two cellphones were found in the bathroom."

I would imagine she MAY have had a phone with her in the loo, and his phone used to call for help...

This is not looking good so far!!!

 

[Lola]

Nel says objective facts can't prejudice the state. We'll adjourn for a few minutes.

Roux says he wants the plans to be projected. Nair makes it clear that he doesn't want to prejudice the state's case.

Nair asks if there is a diagram to illustrate this evidence. Roux says he's given one to Nel. BB

 

[Lola]

Wow!..oh and Oscar is sobbing again.

[Angelonline]

Thanks Lola, great job so far of keeping us updated.

 

[Angelonline]

but he managed to call friends, brother...who called the lawyer??

Sure because that's who you would normally call as your lover lay dying from accidential gun shot wounds. To repeat what Carol70 said, this is not looking good.

Finally:
Barry Bateman‏@barrybateman

[wfgodot]

Goodnight Angelonline.

BarryBateman - recap from the session -

Oscar faces additional charges for having unlicenced ammunition...
he didn't disclose foreign property or bank accounts in statement - IO believes he's a flight risk.
the phones seized show no record of calling the police or paramedics.
what to expect - the state is going through details of where Oscar was when he fired the shots to counter his version

I would guess this is fairly danming.

No record of calling the police or paramedics! This is simply not what he testified to. Did he not realize this was easy to prove?.

If he was taking a lot of steroids then he would have been out of control, and not thinking things through.

I feel sorry for the guy that sent her the Happy Valentines Day message---I bet he feels terrible about what happened now. :cry:

 

[Carol70]

[Patticake]

I'll go back and look RHG. My recollection w/o verification was there were calls to security and to get someone to take her for medical treatment. I may be wrong.

Don't quote me, I'll go back and look.
