You will recall that Mr.Tongo,on what we know, there was already talk of him handing himself over in terms of a plea agreement

 

[JudgeJudi]

The state does get to argue after, why the case should continue, doesn't it?

Yes, it will present its argument.

#DewaniTrial VZ now reminds the court about contradictions between Tongo's statement to police and his testimony. RE

His attorney is with him when that statement was made. He made it to Col. Barkhuizen. He's an old hand. He must've made sure that the affidavit was correct. This is not your average police station, made quickly at a police station

Yes, it will present its argument.

Good! Am keeping my fingers crossed that they argue their case well.

It's clear Barkhuizen took his time to condense what Tongo told him.

#DewaniTrial Shrien Dewani has packed up his room confident he will be free. Family wearing photos of Annie on lapels. #anotherbeautygone

Early indications are that the application to dismiss in the #DewaniTrial will fail @PeerNazia @wagamat

That's arrogance. Hopefully he'll have to swallow a bitter pill.

This is our approach - discrepancies in the witness's statement & what was said in court. It is clear that a lot of time & energy was spent, even with his attorney, on this statement.

 

[JudgeJudi]

I want Traverso to say she wants SD on the stand.

I want Traverso say she wants SD on the stand.

Me too! I know that's what the Hindocha's want. I hope they get their wish.

Tongo said Barkhuizen put things in there that he never said. That cannot be true

#DewaniTrial VZ: his explanations for his contradictions is that its a mistake, his explanations are laughable & destroyed his credibility

Tongo as a witness: He proved himself to be a completely unreliable witness.

I know, at this juncture, improbabilities do not play a role. Mr. Tongo was not just a taxi driver. (you said it!)

VZ, Tongo, is an extremely unreliable witness, so is Qwabe and Mbolombo #DewaniTrial @ANN7tv

This case begs for the accused to testify to hear another side to the story.
