[atthelake]

and why is she referring to him, Roux, as ma lady?

She is addressing the judge in her answers as there is no jury.

Looks like it was a still picture from the uni website.

Dear Judge,

Dear media... stop photographs.. love Judge

 

[sorrell skye]

I have a hard time following Roux's long-winded questions. IMO, most of his questions sound more like statements than questions.

 

[sorrell skye]

Does anyone remember when the media reported there was no intruder?

Was it the very next morning when the news of the shooting broke?

I remember initially reading OP had shot Reeva because he had mistaken her for an intruder.

Yep, when the police gave their statement on the morning of the 14th. No signs of break in and one individual arrested..something along those lines ( hehe, its been awhile)

State objects, this is a rehashing of paragraph #6 from yesterday, I objected yesterday and I object once again.

 

[Really?]

I object too!

I'm always astonished how these lawyers can take 3 questions and stretch them in to an 8 hour conversation. :facepalm:

 

[TigerBalm]

This trial is going to last 4 yrs at this rate...

:waiting:

 

[sorrell skye]

Every time he doesn't get the answer he wants, Roux says: "My question was different."

OMG - did the Judge just say that Roux is allowed to put words in the mouth of the witness???

American courtroom this is not! :facepalm:

 

[TigerBalm]

Defense should just give up... he is not going to trip the witness up on the female voice screaming and the four shots.

 

[whiterum]

Poor witness, first the image her face is plastered on the TV Screen as she is speaking, then the Judge is allowing this badgering over and over again of a prosecution witness in order for Roux to get her to say what he wants to hear. This witness is a brilliant witness , I am sure he is raging since she is now interrogating him almost as much now as he is her LOL.

No he won't shake her but he will testify the way he wants it to be heard.

objection - argumentative

Yes. Scary!

 

[TigerBalm]

Oh shut up Roux, unless you are going to have a person with their life threatened scream, then how are you going to replicate the screams from the night the victim Reeva was shot and killed.
