Now they have him in the recon toilet, sitting on it, then standing in the corner. It was so tiny. Reeva really had nowhere to go....

 

[Plumeria5]

When she was shot in the back was she trying to figure out how to climb out the window?

 

[LaLaw2000]

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

I do not like this and cannot see why it is allowed.

 

[Cher352]

Is that the actual door?

Yes, the state put it back together except for the pieces that were lost somewhere.

 

[jay-jay]

I'm finding this bit with Dixon v. interesting!

 

[LaLaw2000]

Wouldn't most of this part be for the ME to determine? This guy seems to think he knows all, IMO.

 

[AlexUK]

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

It is very annoying....wasn't like this last week! If it's not whispers...erm sorry speaking softly it's papers rustling!

Yet another person too who isn't representative of either Reeva or OP.

 

[nastasya]

This is like the Twilight Zone.

The defense expert is discrediting the ricochet, which means the marks had to be caused by the magazine rack, which means OP is full of **** when he says she didn't land on the magazine rack.

It is the real door, to answer a previous post of yours, but Reeva was never shot in the back; sufficient she was shot in the pelvis/hip, mid to upper arm and head.

 

[Really?]

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

I am wondering if those are true to size wounds....they are larger than I first thought.

Me too after listening to Nel and OP for so many days.

This man's voice is so pleasant almost soothing.

 

[zwiebel]

D is explaining with the photo, how Reeva's spine altered the course of the object that hit her and it goes upwards. It would be horizontal if the bullet had come from the right.

Finally we get to defence point. I think.

D: There was no fabric covering area that was struck.

She wasn't shot in the back. The state are saying the marks on her back are richochet marks and the defence are saying they're from the magazine rack.

 

[G.bng]

Didn't Mangena say it was bullet B that hit her hip ?

 

[zwiebel]

I am wondering if those are true to size wounds....they are larger than I first thought.

Exactly what I thought. They look huge.

 

[shane13]

How long do you guys think the verdict will take after trial is over?

I recall reading taht it could be as long as 2 weeks

 

[zwiebel]

D: Sometimes numbers are not my best friend....


???????

 

[Freya1977]

Here are a few pics I found showing the trajectory

 

[LaLaw2000]

OP's head is down with his hands clasped behind his head.
