Trial Discussion Thread #20 - 14.04.08, Day 18

[K.T]

The gentleman next to June Steenkamp looks like he has fallen asleep. I'm feeling the same. Oh, he just woke up, poor thing.

RS: You're the most amazing

24th of January

RS: Booby I miss you more than anything
OP: I replied with seven or eight smiley faces and some kisses

 

[Melanie]

wow - you can sure see the depth of this relationship.....not.

 

[G.bng]

OP talking about msg where he didn't want Reeva driving alone at night.

Somewhat controlling reply OP's... "In our family the women are not allowed to drive at night", or something to that effect.

 

[zwiebel]

AAaaaaaahhh. Did ya'll hear Roux say 'mwouh' and make a little kissy mouth?

 

[zwiebel]

We are up to Jan 26 now. OP still sniffing loudly.

 

[AlexUK]

I'm ready for tea

Tea! I'm ready for a stiff gin and it isn't" even 10 am yet here in the UK.

Leopard dress mentioned now but OP doesn't explain why Reeva was asking him if she could wear the dress, just that she did ask.

That particular one I think was more to do with not wanting to be seen in the same dress on more than one occasion .. you know what people in the limelight are like .. and she appeared to be asking if it was ok on that front, not if it was ok by OP. I think ... !

Sky's lost the feed now.

Roux seems to be hurrying through some of these messages which he's either doing to get to the tea break quickly or he really thinks the judge needs to know how many kisses and smiley faces they exchanged.

Very Simon Gittany haha. Just saying.

I find it interesting that OP sent several text messages to Reeva over a period of time asking her if she was safe, but on the night he shot & killed her, in his version he didn't make sure of her whereabouts nor did he ensure that she was safe before he fired 4 bullets through the toilet door.

Precisely .. doesn't add up, does it.

my feed just cut out and they are showing somebody vacuuming the floor. Random.

Hearing Roux say the word "kiss" totally skeeves me out.

I know. That was just wrong on sooo many levels. :notgood:

 

[Interested Bystander]

The one thing I note so far is that this relationship did not really start proper until January. After that it seemed to go down hill with a number of niggling disagreements interspersed with some more serious arguments. To me that discounts most of the 1700 whatsapp messages as being before the relationship became serious. OP would be hardly likely to be difficult before the relationship got underway proper. It will be interesting to hear what Nel makes of all this. We are obviously only hearing some of the messages. Nel already sounds a bit needled when he interjected about the end of the argument.

 

[zwiebel]

My feeds have gone onto news stories now.

 

[gajonka]

This is going to drag on forever... no end in sight...

 

[Carol70]

I find all of this rather immature, considering their ages, this is the kind of chat stuff my kids went through with their gf's when they were in their early teens.

Arg, I agree. My 17yr old doesn't even send that much lovey-dovey to his "girl of the month" ..I mean really..

 

[Really?]

Are we on break ? I lost my feed

I agree with you. She was going to an event with him and wanted to make sure it was acceptable. I don't see that one as being a big deal.
