Leisser says he noticed Dewani deleted his gaydar account in December, so he sent him text message.

Leisser: I saw breaking news that he was accused of being involved in the murder of his wife.

Leisser: I didn't think anything bad. I then talked to friends. I know a bit more (Botha objects) (I agree, I don't know where this is headed jmo)

Mopp: I asked the witness not to go into the nature. I'll rephrase.

Leisser: I contacted the police again on the 10th. They invited me to an interview the following Monday.

Leisser: Also made contact with the media. I asked a friend for advice. He put me in touch with a media agency.

It's such a shame not to be supported by friends and family for your choice of sexuality. If my children were gay I would not give a care in the world as long as they were happy, and contributed to society as well balanced and caring human beings. A little off topic - working in the aviation industry for decades I have met my fair share of gay/bi work mates - all of whom I have adored. To go one step further I offered a home to one of our Captains who decided that he wanted to be a women - and was going through the transition process. So, so hard in this particular industry. I offered him a place to stay for several months while he was going through these procedures. He/she was amazing and resumed a stellar flying career, and respected by the majority. My children were early teens at that stage and also adopted great respect for him/her.

Pity isn't it - I am sure there would be less murders, assault, honour killings if we could accept others for their own choices.

Leisser: I had to shut down my business and needed an income. I know 18000 Pounds, in your country, is a lot of money.

Leisser: But my expenses can run into 4 to 5000 Pounds a month.

Leisser: The first two stories were merely that I had met Shrien Dewani. No details.

Leisser: On 14 December, I received a letter showing that everything I said was a lie, he had never met me or anything.

Leisser: On 17 December, I sought legal advice.

Leisser says he received a letter from Dewani's lawyer, he took legal advice to make sure he was in the clear.

Shrien Dewani clicking a pen in the dock, seems to be shifting uncomfortably as Leisser testifies.

Leisser steps down


EWN Reporter ‏@ewnreporter 4m4 minutes ago

Botha says he has no questions for the witness, Leisser. Tongo is recalled to the stand.

Lessier looks at the Hindochas and grins as he leaves the courtroom.

And no further questions for Leisser, not sure what the point of that was. Court adjourns while Xhosa translator located.

beauty is that Lessier confirms the intentional disappearance of the online gaydar a/c
 
  • #437
Well, that was a waste of time lol. He just wanted to make it clear he did the interviews for the money as his business was shut down and that Dewani lied, saying he never met Lessier. :sigh:

if the judge said wouldn't allow testimony why was he allowed to take the stand?? am I missing something?

Back to your post em, just wanted to say a bit more. It is a shame that sexuality can be such an issue, but I wonder if it's even a bigger issue in Dewani's mind. He's been described as a 'nazi', a perfectionist by Anni, probably has a severe form of OCD, very controlling, yet his fetish is to be humiliated and downgraded. I don't know, must mean something. jmo

IMO just to prove that he lied to police so why was he covering up his connection with Leisser? If he had been openly bisexual, he had nothing to hide.
