Why is the state squeaking, for heaven's sake? What a disaster.

But Judge points out that Dewani still hadn’t paid them (and might not if they got greedy). #DewaniTrial Mopp says the money owed was in car

#DewaniTrial Page 53, paragraph 143: Identities of the co-conspirators

#DewaniTrial The impression was created that Tongo lied to the court about Spra on his phone's contact list. It was Mngeni using the phone

#DewaniTrial on that day. Tongo didn't have the phone anymore. (The phone was in Mngeni's possession) Judge accepts that argument

What the heck does this tweet mean? Who's the Mr T of the gang?

Anni #Dewani's murderers were "not the A-team of contract killers", the prosecutor conceded. Despite having their own Mr T #DewaniTrial

State spells Mngeni's name wrong on p52 of heads of argument - raises certain questions about this document. #DewaniTrial

Prosecution in #Dewani trial now on page 45 of 62-page application, trying to persuade judge NOT to throw case out due to lack of evidence.

(Me: Almost like state's racing thru the evidence to get the painful business over and done with as quick as poss. Maybe they feel the case has failed?)

Now the #DewaniTrial really is becoming an episode of the A-team. The judge just referenced the killers' failure to "rock up"


????? Surreal.

#DewaniTrial Child locks: Judge: Here's a man who's going to pay him R15k - then creates situation where this man will be locked in car?

#DewaniTrial The issue with the child lock is just a level of detail Tongo doesn't disclose to the accused

#DewaniTrial Just like the exact hijack location in Gugulethu

#DewaniTrial Tongo knows no serious harm will come to Mr. Dewani. Traverso: But he locks him in! Mopp: He doesn't know where the person who will be killed will be sitting. It's not so improbable. He knows that Mr. Dewani will get out unharmed. It's not so hard, My Lady

#DewaniTrial On his evidence, the door would be opened for Mr. Dewani

#DewaniTrial Watching the Judge tackle the State's Adrian Mopp is a bit like watching a tiger toss a mouse around

#DewaniTrial Mopp: We're dealing with an amateurish attempt, if the deceased wasn't killed, it would have been comical.

#DewaniTrial Judge:how was Dewani going to get out with child lock engaged?Mopp: on the evidence the door was opened for him. RE

Me: Aaarghh! Surely their only thought would have been to stop Anni escaping? Can't the judge see it's possible they just might not have considered in advance, how Dewani would get out of the car?

#DewaniTrial Dewani is leanly forward with a smile playing on his lips as the Judge repeatedly asks q's which the State struggles with

#DewaniTrial Mopp: It's not in dispute that the accused asked the cleaner to leave. If one takes regard of the nature, it's not suprising

#DewaniTrial CORRECTS: surprising why the accused asked the individual to leave (referring to the private Cape Grace meeting between ZT & SD

Hindocha family look pretty glum as Mopp says this would all have been comical if it wasn't for tragic consequences #DewaniTrial

#DewaniTrial Mopp refers to the court records of Tongo's evidence. (Tongo explaining the purpose of the money exchange at Cape Grace)

#DewaniTrial AM: Tongo does not want police to see him there. Why if he was receving legitimate payment or fare. #sabcnews
