Morning!!!

Someone probably posted this writing but I only just read this academic, post-colonial, fem/gender studies take on Pistorius, gender, race and class. Quite interesting.

While we're anxiously waiting....! People in the court room are buzzing around, putting books on the judges table, getting into the seating gallery - you can can amost see the nervous anticipation and energy

Morning all

 

[soozieqtips]

Leach has come in.

 

[mhiforme]

Why wouldn't Nel or Roux attend today? Seems they have invested so much in this trial, not to be there on this day.

 

[soozieqtips]

The appeal is dismissed with costs??

 

[mrjitty]

don't like the sound of this!

 

[Suthrnqt]

#OscarPistorius Leach confirms that Seekoei no longer applies here and is not good law. @JamesGrantZA the Hippo is indeed dead.

#OscarPistorius Leach: says he will refer to Pistorius as accused, but at times will refer to deceased by her name to give identity. BB

 

[mrjitty]

He really does.

I am too!
