Trial Discussion Thread #20 - 14.04.08, Day 18

O: I checked the curtains, that she wasn't behind them. I made my way back to the bathroom...tried to grab hold of the handle and tried to push it open. It was locked.....went to the balcony then and screamed help, help help.

...because it's an opinion. You're entitled to determine what is credible and what isn't. We all are. You don't know what's true, and neither do I.

[modsnip]

I don't claim to be neutral. That's the difference.

 

[james83]

IMO June Steenkamp isnt buying it.

 

[zwiebel]

O: I put my prosth legs on, ran to the the door. I kicked it, nothing happened...ran back to the bedroom...cricket bat....I was screaming and shouting the whole time. I was screaming out for the Lord to help me, I was screaming, crying out for Reeva...

 

[Val1]

What ! I thought Reeva was doing yoga after they went to bed at 10pm
Big change here. I feel dizzy
Did I miss something about the porn did he admit to searching for it or are we to believe Reeva was watching porn whilst cooking ?

He had a bath and doesn't remember if he was using the ipad during that time. then went down for dinner and it was implied that during that time was when the porn came on.

"I saw the key"

He doesn't say/confirm where he found it .. either on the floor or in the door.

Interesting.

 

[zwiebel]

O:...I ran straight back to bathroom door....the light was on at the stage. I don't remember switching it on. Was on when I kicked the door.

I hit the door three times, first time, a small peice opened - at that time I just wanted to LOOK INSIDE and see if it was Reeva. I then hit the door I think three times...threw the plank in bthrm, leant over partition. There was no key on the door, it was on the floor.

I flung the door open. I sat over Reeva and I cried...I don't know how long I was there for. She wasn't breathing....

Breaks down. Adjourned. He is wailing.

 

[soozieqtips]

Another adjournment because he's crying again?????

 

[Melanie]

wow - just wow - that was some real pain right there. I don't think anyone could fake that kind of heartbreak. Almost made me cry.

 

[zwiebel]

I missed the start, thanks to my dog.

He says he found it on the floor.

Thanks
This is confusing then . He was upstairs between 6.10 to 7.00 .
Reeva was downstairs cooking ? I thought the time of the porn was 6.30 .
Maybe. I have misunderstood some timings here ?
Did he say where the iPad was at that point ?

 

[MsY]

Did any of the previous witnesses recalled hearing more than 6 shots.. e.g like 4 shots, screams and then 4 more shots? Or did they all recalled hearing only the screams and then 4 shots? (Not exact numbers, but trying to establish whether they heard the two sets of bangs)

 

[sorrell skye]

I think OP truly regrets his actions that night.

 

[Viper]

Crybaby break. Back in a few minutes.

 

[MeeBee]

Oh, wow...

 

[zwiebel]

What did he say about the moment he shot through the door anyone?

 

[canny]

Cry out with laughter :floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

The lawyers and the family are crowding the witness box. Oscar is wailing, wailing, loudly. The judge has left. This is a mess.

 

[Viper]

So if he grabbed the key from the floor using just his hands, then why does the cricket bat have blood all over the tip?
