I'm glad I didn't see it. I'm no stenographer and have to look at my keyboard while I type. But I could 'hear' and 'feel' the shock in the courtroom - it was palpable.
I do think it's pretty hard on the family to have the photo flashed up without warning.
And I see what Nel was trying to do - OP's been very graphic about blood and injury in relation to the effect it had on HIM Reeva's shooting and his own accidents) Nel wanted to turn it back and ask, what about the effect on the other person, when it happens to them, and you're the cause of it? Because it has been downplayed into a sterile 'mistake' or 'incident', by defence.
But it all just felt wrong, wrong wrong somehow. And the judge didn't like it either.
