.. back to the fans now .. and then covering the LED light with the jeans ..

 

[Lyra500]

Who's prints were on the bathroom window. OP or RS or both?

That is what i was wondering. But since the 'window sliding open' element of his story was only produced during this trial,i wonder whether the police would even have thought to dust for prints over a year ago........

Change in topic being discussed and OP voice changes almost immediately.

Dang... missed a bit about the burglary. Did Nel ask OP exactly what was stolen the time he was burgled and didn't report it to the police, and whether he reported it to his insurance whether to make a claim or to advise them his house had been entered safe for when they renewed his insurance?

OP mentioned a tv being stolen and that he never bothered putting a claim in for it. Didn't hear anything about renewal though.

What's this got to do with the ultimate charge??

Blokes brawling. . .

Nothing at all. It's just character stuff, and it's also Nel's way of taking him as far away as possible from the crime scene before going back to the scene and re-questioning.

:smile:

O says light only bothered him when he drew the curtains and it was pitch black.

And now he's saying he doesn't remember if he covered the light, but recalls picking up the jeans to do so.

 

[katydid23]

If he woke up because he was hot, why did he close the heavy blackout curtains?

 

[jay-jay]

He's said he could see the jeans from the light given off by the LED light .. and that they were Reeva's jeans.

 

[zwiebel]

Nel jumped from the club fight to fans v quickly then! I could hardly keep up!

 

[jay-jay]

OMG he nearly tripped up on his story there where he said about closing the curtains .. he had to check himself to make sure he was following the script!

 

[zwiebel]

O: Amplifier...they're two big (and now explains it's a Pioneer brand)

Finally points to the light and where he draped the jeans.

OP mentioned a tv being stolen and that he never bothered putting a claim in for it. Didn't hear anything about renewal though.

Didn't he say he didn't have insurance at the time? Strange if he felt so vulnerable to crime and burglary.

 

[zwiebel]

Okay, they are talking about the duvet but all I can see is a desk with the stereo?

 

[Gbtaketwo]

Your doing a great job

 

[jay-jay]

He is going to give away in a minute that he couldn't possibly not have seen Reeva get out of bed and go to the toilet .. Nel is going to keep going back and forth between all the different incidents like this so as to trip him up!

 

[jay-jay]

Didn't he say he didn't have insurance at the time? Strange if he felt so vulnerable to crime and burglary.

Good point.

 

[zwiebel]

OP insisiting he put smll fan to the right of the big fan. Nel makes him point.

N: Isn't that to the left?

O: I didn't put it to the right, it was already there...

 

[shane13]

got his right and left confused now.

 

[jay-jay]

OP mentioned a tv being stolen and that he never bothered putting a claim in for it. Didn't hear anything about renewal though.

He said he didn't have contents insurance, that's one of his reasons given for not bothering to report it.

 

[zwiebel]

O says the jeans were about 1m away from amplifier.

O: I then heard the window sliding open.

N: You never heard the deceased getting up?

O: No

N: Fans were still on but you could still hear a window slide?

O says it's correct. He could.
