This is a farce. They turn off the cameras and then tweet every word anyway.

Even Botha said the SOPs can be found online.

What does it all mean? Why the secrecy, is about patenting?

No idea. SOP = Standard Operating Procedures. 'Standard' doesn't sound like top secret to me.

 

[JudgeJudi]

Is there live stream?

Yes, but not this witness.

 

[PrimeSuspect]

We think things can't get any weirder and then, they do. :crazy:

The people of S.A must be scratching their heads like we are!

We're back (court is still chilly) Judge Desai is now allowing the live stream of Otto's testimony.

Otto continues her testimony."I can tell the court our analysis and findings are reliable and a 'true result'."

 

[Tortoise]

Funny how HvB cut his hair short when they were covering the hair evidence, and let it grow long again.

Oh come on, "Poirot", and get this thing up and running or I'm going back to my knitting!

 

[JudgeJudi]

Judge Desai has revisited earlier ruling and decided Lt Col Otto's testimony will be recorded and streamed.
Watch it below.

The sound kicks in at 27 minutes

JDesai returns he has read the SCA judgment and he doesnt think there is prejudice and wishes to revisit the issue

Judge Desai now permits this witnesses evidence to be televised

Ok guys I believe news24 is streaming the evidence now

Otto continues with her evidence on DNA analysis

Otto:because we due have these guidelines and processes in place. This is a true result it is reliable and true

Otto:that brings me to my affidavit I have before court, all 4 reports have same layout

Otto:this document forms part of requested documentation

The profiles of the different references and with all the "complicated" results

The reference samples we received was marked with a post mortem number can she rather refer to names of persons

Otto: refers to report reference sample of Teresa Van Breda (Mother)

[Really?]

Sorry, good morning everyone.

And thank you for the reports.

Good morning tortoise.........I was hoping to hear some South African accent.

 

[Tortoise]

Rudi's blood was on the knife if I'm understanding correctly

 

[Tortoise]

Good morning tortoise.........I was hoping to hear some South African accent.

Morning Really?! Your wish has been granted!

 

[JudgeJudi]

Lt Col Otto resumes her testimony.

Reference samples received were marked according to the victim or a post mortem number. Complicated during comparisons.

Watch live here

cigarette butts, socks = Henri

Marli now.

 

[JudgeJudi]

Refers to first report. Rudi's profile is XY - male - DNA result on swab on knife; headboard, wall. Wall above headrest, carpet, swab on floor in room, spatter on wall, wall by stairs, numerous stains, duvet matches Rudi's reference samples

Match probability indicates how easy or difficult to find another person in SA who will leave the same DNA stain on the scene. Rudi's is 1 person in every 70bn people.

Henri: XY - male. DNA on 3 cigarette butts, socks, matches his reference sample. Match probability 1 in every 261bn
