Trial Discussion Thread #19 - 14.04.07, Day 17

[Interested Bystander]

This is so inappropriate.

 

[Really?]

And the Oscar goes to........"..

 

[zwiebel]

O: Start by tendering an apology...would like to take this opp to apologise (pause) To Mr and Mrs Steenkamp, Reeeva's family, those of you who knew her....

Judge says she doesn't like doing this but he has to speak up

O: I wake up every mornng you're the first people I think of. I was simply trying to protect R. I promise when she went to bed that eveing, she felt loved...tried to put it on paper to you many times

Now R says he can't hear

OP has been on meds since last year.

 

[katydid23]

they are starting with the sympathy ploy...:frown:

 

[DebinGA]

This is so inappropriate.

... and self-serving.

 

[Really?]

If I ever stated on here that OP can't scream like a woman......I now retract that......he is falsetto .......wow

 

[04009margaret]

It's now all about him grrrrrr

 

[anagrammy]

Too bad OP's medication adjustment couldn't have included some suppositories for the nausea.

 

[Carol70]

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.

I agree, also..even if she gave a short scream, there is a good chance OP never heard it due to being temporarily deafened by the gunshots in the bathroom.

 

[Viper]

Poor OP is depressed and can't sleep because he murdered Reeva. Cry me a river! :crybaby:

 

[Interested Bystander]

Sorry, this is sooo not appropriate, he is discussing what happened AFTER the event.

We need to know what happened before.

 

[04009margaret]

So upset you got a new girlfriend less than 12 months later

 

[katydid23]

They are making this all about poor OP< and his new meds, and his fear of sleep and bad dreams...IS this really necessary? Poor OP, can't sleep. and he lost weight....:violin:

 

[anagrammy]

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

It helps to restart your computer just before important testimony and then use WildAboutTrial.....

 

[Carol70]

If I ever stated on here that OP can't scream like a woman......I now retract that......he is falsetto .......wow

arrhhhhhhhggg...wish I could hear too!! :banghead:

 

[Suthrnqt]

You beat me to it.

 

[zwiebel]

Supramol? Normason? Supralex, dormanok, molypaxon? How many's he on?

R: Do you have difficulty sleeping

O: I do. I'm scared to sleep...when I wake up I can smell the blood. If I hear a noise I wake up in a complete state of terror so I'd rather not sleep. March last year I'd lost significant amount of weight, so sought med advice for not sleeping.

R: Can you tell the court about getting in the cupboard?

O: Last year....I obviously don't ever want to handle firearm again so got a guard outside my door but I was terrified so climbed inside cupboard. Called my sis and she came to comfort me.....milady, pls may I sit?

 

[Really?]

So upset you got a new girlfriend less than 12 months later

lol.....I forgot about that

 

[katydid23]

awww, poor boy needed to hire security to sit outside his door....I sure hope that MiLady is as disgusted as I am by this opening....


who CARES if he has a close sibling relationship, or that his mom passed away....totally irrelevant...grrrrrrrr

This doesn't fit with his eagerness to start training again within days of her death.
