Nothing from Botha about RS's empty bladder? I thought that was supposed to be significant.

Not really since the human body voids all its liquids at death, the small amount left (1 tsp) probably draining from the kidneys during transport.

B: If someone fires in rapid succession, unless you're a really skilled marksman, the gun moves around

N: Now we hear it's rapid fire; dufdufdufduf....so it's one two, so where's my head?

He said it was emptied shortly before death.

I don't believe we can ever know for sure what movement went on behind that door. There are so many possible reactions. No two people would react the same way.

I'm much more concerned about the length of time between first and last shot to indicate the potential time of screaming. No witness has yet clearly indicated this.

 

[MeeBee]

Wow, he's a sarcastic thing!

 

[katydid23]

Moo.......OP is looking nervous.....sitting on his hands.....sitting upright....mouth dry as heck.....no spit.....he barfed up all his liquids....with Nel now he is head down.....covering the back of his neck with his hand...fingers entwined

I think he is nervous about his upcoming testimony....

B says there was only 'slight rotation' to the right when Reeva fell back, Nel jumps in to say it must have been a big rotation with rapid shots, for her hip and arm to get down to D and C bullet marks on the door.

 

[Interested Bystander]

He's up!

 

[G.bng]

Crunch time!

 

[MeeBee]

OP called and my feed is frozen. Of course it is...

 

[zwiebel]

B: I would expect her right leg to collapse under her. She starts falling and then she's hit in the arm...

Nel: I think I've done enough. It just doesn't make sense at all.

B steps down and

OP is up!!!!!

 

[katydid23]

Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Really?]

Did the witness just walk in front of the cameras ?

Omg OP up !!!

 

[TrueDetective]

Prof Botha is done.
Oscar Pistorius is now called to the stand

 

[Interested Bystander]

Wow, he's a sarcastic thing!

No more than Roux who also accused witnesses of lying.

 

[kaos]

I honestly didn't think he'd making an appearance!

 

[zwiebel]

O: My name is Oscar Karl something Pistorius.

 

[zwiebel]

Sounds like he's breaking down already.

 

[katydid23]

Omg---an apology? Gmafb

 

[Really?]

Spit it out !!!
