#DewaniTrial #Citi Van Zyl stuck on this abrasion. Anni's CoD not in dispute, maybe he's trying to break intention at the outset? - ^AW (https://twitter.com/CitiReporter/status/519105055690350592)

Van Zyl's cross-examination style - so far - extravagantly polite

Zzzzzzzzzzzz Oh, sorry.

Perhaps i didn't make myself clear, says van Zyl calmly, as he probes the state witness's analysis of crime scene

9mm bullet too big for the barrel of the gun used, so caused fragmenting. Dr Verster experienced with 200 post mortems, and seen numerous execution style killings.

Defence describes gun being wedged between Ani's hand and chest as it was fired. Witness not convinced

Judge Traverso tries to take a boiled sweet out of its packet quietly, and fails. #DewaniTrial

Must have been a cough sweet. The judge, like an ANC member in public gallery, clearly has a cold. #DewaniTrial

(I think I’ll have to give AndrewH away soon. The Citizen Reporter is doing a much better job.

Tra-la-la-la-la. 11 minutes of nothing other that boiled sweets)

Witness confirms she's done post-mortems on victims of "execution-style" murders. Says no clear pattern to gunshots.

And that's all for pathologist Verster. State asks for adjournment, saying next witness not ready.

And with that, we adjourn until Wednesday. No court tomorrow apparently
