[Really?]

Oh this will be sad.....I will cry...bless his heart

 

[JudgeJudi]

Oh, this is so sad.

Good morning everyone. This is O/T but is huge breaking news in SA, Henri van Breda has been arrested and charged with the axe murder of his parents and brother and the attempted murder of his sister who somehow miraculously survived. This is another extremely wealthy family.

FINALLY!!!!! So glad to hear this.

#OscarPistorius Steenkamp says he wanted to give evidence during previous proceedings, but had taken a bad turn. BB

 

[Really?]

Surely roux won't cross this man.......how could he

 

[JudgeJudi]

He's a very emotional man. He'll never get over this.

 

[mrjitty]

Heartbreaking

This is what a real victim looks like.

#OscarPistorius Steenkamp says he think of Reeva everyday of his life. Morning, noon, night, early morning. (He starts to sob). BB

 

[KarenUK]

Oh god, this is utterly heartbreaking

 

[JudgeJudi]

Aimee is totally unmoved, but there were lots of tears for her murderous brother. Even Sam Taylor was moved to tears when Kim testified.

 

[cottonweaver]

Can't watch this.

I wonder if Aimee is crying as she did so profusely during Oscar's testimony

Cross post Judi - clearly we are both too cynical!

 

[katydid23]

What a sincere and heartfelt witness.

 

[Marfa Lights]

Aimee is totally unmoved, but there were lots of tears for her murderous brother.

Yes, I noticed her expression of mild curiosity. I may have noticed a flash of resentment even.

Her stoney expression is really bothering me, even more than normal.....
I keep losing feed, but for once I'm quite relieved, it's really tough to watch Mr Steenkamps pain

No, not cynical. She's not crying at all. I am, it's devastating to see how much he's suffering.

 

[kaos]

As others have said, he's a real victim and I'd add he's also the broken man - not OP.

 

[JudgeJudi]

OMG, Barry Roux wanted it to be kept confidential and he told the whole world about it in court.

 

[cottonweaver]

Watching now

Nel asks did you know about her reln with OP
Barry - No I didn't ( yet she phoned him every Sunday)

Hope Masipa picks up an inference that RS did not perceive the reln as that important at the 3 month stage so that the point about this being a brief reln could have been clear. Nel didn't push it.

 

[JudgeJudi]

Yeah, OP does want more than to speak to Barry. He wants a get out of jail free card.
