Trial Discussion Thread #27 - 14.04.16, Day 24

[Freya1977]

I'm getting pics now, but the screen in court is extremely hard to see. Unless it's my eyes.

No it was very hard to see, I thought so too

D: What we are seeing here is a bullet hitting with sufficient energy to crush the stone..

But says it was a glancing blow, not head on.

Oscar looking self contained and calm this morning, on bench.

Does anyone know if there is a saved copy of that new overhead toilet shot anywhere that was shown recently.....finding this hard to follow already!

Here's the link for Oscar Radio for vansleuths.

[Really?]

Why so much testimony on the one shot that missed Reeva ?

 

[Suthrnqt]

Marking my spot......

 

[whiterum]

There are two people on either side of Mi Lady. One lady, yesterday, asked Oscar if the light in the toilet was broken. Why does she get to ask Oscar a question? And does she help Mi Lady determine guilty/not guilty.

She should have asked were the actual electrics defective or was it a bulb that had blown, big difference .

The magazine rack, dear Watson ?

 

[Really?]

Oy vey.....talk about dragging this out time wise,,,.,,.,gees

 

[zwiebel]

He is talking about speed of bullets, 'each time it passes thru something, it loses energy'

So he seems to be saying mark in corner of tiles is a ricochet that's passed thru one object but not two? Not sure what defence is trying to say here. They are talking about bullet hole F but I am not sure if that's first shot or what.

 

[Really?]

The magazine rack, dear Watson ?

Ah......ok. I see now, thanks

 

[kaos]

Maybe to discredit Mangena's testimony.

I noticed a website page yesterday that said Mr Dixon used 'novel methods of crime detection'. Which to me, means untested in the wider world of forensics.

Very longwinded; too much so, IMO. Just wait until Nel gets a whack at him.

 

[zwiebel]

Ah. He saying how much force would still have been needed for bits of tile to hit Reeva in the back: 'I cannot see how a projectile like that could change direction after hitting a soft surface (Reeva).

He says he would expect jagged edges and is saying those wounds on Reeva's back couldn't have been caused by them, I think.

 

[G.bng]

Thought again... maybe to draw doubt to Mangena's testimony, more especially about the bang...bangbangbang. OP going for automata (or whatever it's called) defence... involuntary shooting for a try at acquital ?

 

[patCee]

Wow! look at the big crack in the door, I can see something moving behind it. Very telling.

 

[supernovaNic]

When I hear those whispers out of the blue, it startles me. eek. lol

 

[zwiebel]

Oh, dreadful. An assistant standing in box and they are pinning pics of Reeva's back wounds to his back. Ugh.

 

[Plumeria5]

Is that the actual door?

 

[patCee]

Wow! look at the big crack in the door, I can see something moving behind it. Very telling.

I can't believe it, it's easy to see something behind the crack. I suppose the light behind will make a difference though.
