Trial Discussion Thread #20 - 14.04.08, Day 18

[atthelake]

Oscar is reading a message about the “rabbit things” around his house

Oh, what was said? That was timed to exactly when I was in another room

 

[zwiebel]

O: A msg from me to to Reeva saying 'Do you want to go to my friend's 50th?'

(So shows the argument was resolved, that was the same day.)

Oh, what was said? That was timed to exactly when I was in another room

Oscar said that they were little hand carved wooden rabbits that he purchased as gifts for friends.

 

[Really?]

Poetic he has to read these messages out loud in court

 

[kaos]

OP reading out the lengthy message where she mentions being inccessantly picked on etc. OP's getting emotional as he's reading it.

 

[Forensics]

Here comes Reeva's ' scared of you sometimes' explanation....

 

[zwiebel]

O is reading the msg where Reeva denied flirting, said OP was nasty and had made a scene while they were out, and spoke about how OP wouldn't let her mention an ex, and how she was scared of him sometimes, the way 'you snap at me'.

OP sound's like he's crying. He is....

Oscar said that they were little hand carved wooden rabbits that he purchased as gifts for friends.

He said they had little hearts on. I think maybe he sent the pic or brought one for another woman? Hence Reeva being upset.

 

[Forensics]

Oscar voice is breaking when reading how Reeva “fell in love with you”… BB

a tear can be seen dripping off the tip of his nose, he wipes it away with his hand. BB

Explaining it as being "a bad day in our relationship". Had an enjoyable morning but went to get food but couldn't eat the food that was there because of his strict diet.

They were walking across the venue, Reeva was speaking to a guy, she never introduced OP to him, he was upset by it.

 

[screecher]

Ah....he was being a bit sensitive...poor freakin'lying blo

boo hoo.
ke.

 

[zwiebel]

O: I think it was just a bad day in our relationship.....Darren asked me to bring something so I was running late. I was on strict diet, so I told Reeva 'I can't eat this'.....Reeva started talking to a gentleman and didn't introduce me.....I was upset. Maybe I was being insecure and jealous...when she tried to touch my neck I wasn't as kind as I should have been. Reeva was so short with me, I dropped her off at home.

 

[zwiebel]

Now O is reading msgs that followed the big one from Reeva, as they reconcile, where Reeva says "I'm here" and OP says 'the fact I was tired and sick isn't an excuse' (for his behaviour. And he talks of how R 'touched the guy's arm'.

Does anyone know who the girl is about 4-5 along to the right from Reeva's mother? .. dark hair in a pony tail .. she is looking really angry while OP was explaining the engagement party and she's shaking her head at him .. she looks fit to burst just now. I guess she is a friend of Reeva? Oh, she is Gina .. I didn't realise. I think her body language is rather telling in relation to what she knew about him and the state of his relationship with Reeva

I think Sky is a few seconds ahead of the live streams on the internet so don't want to confuse the order of things so won't post what he's saying unless zwiebel's feed goes down.

I'm not as fast as zwiebel though

 

[zwiebel]

He is still reading his msg to Reeva with the huge list of reasons why he behaved badly; sick/headache/starving etc....

 

[zwiebel]

An hour later:

O: Myself to Reeva, a msg saying 'Baby'....just to let her know I was thinking of her

Roux and OP are getting confuddled over what msg was sent when. Very odd.

 

[sorrell skye]

Gina is in the gallery today. Every time the camera shows her, she looks disgusted - she even shook her head during part of OP's testimony. Gina was present at the event discussed in these texts. She knows exactly what happened that day.

OP is clearly trying to downplay/minimize his behavior at the engagement party - and Gina knows it.
