Trial Discussion Thread #28 - 14.04.17, Day 25

[Really?]

Now I am starting to fall asleep

Why would the socks on the leg not be blood-soaked?

Why wasn't the leg still caked in blood unless it's no longer in evidence? The sock is supposedly still in evidence, or at least in storage since Nel had said something about making it available if Dixon needed it.

D:...have you started shoooting? Because we are not allowed to start until the rangemaster says! ....He thought I'd already started shooting (when he hit bat on door).

Maybe they couldn't take OP's legs away as evidence at the time. I used to date a guy who had a prosthetic arm that had various attachments like a hook, hand, ball and socket joint (to enable him to drive) and he told me the hook wasn't allowed to be taken away from him if he was arrested as it's considered a replacement arm and you wouldn't take away an able bodied person's arm. That's why I was a bit surprised when Abu Hamza's hooks were taken away from him in the USA.

That's a load, Mangena measured OP, he's 1.55 metres without his prosthetics, that's in evidence, compared to the 1.1 metres of the kneeling model used at the window.

Dude,

You're an expert witness - you've been paid (i assume) quite handsomely. Enough with the "I don't have that many memory sticks". If you need 200 of the bloody things, go out and buy them.

Is this guy married? He obviously needs someone to sort his life out

MOO

Mel

R: You were asked about the difference in heights...did you take some photos?

D: Milady, I didn't take-I measured approx how high the head was. I had the measuremnts of Mr P...I was informed later about the problem with left leg, callous....so I don't know about approx 20cm higher than Mr VV....

 

[AlexUK]

You are not the only one.....interpreter lady had a nice snoozelet too!

Oh oh....she's going again. She needs to dig the fingernails of one hand into the palm of the other....tis soooo painful it keeps you awake!

D:...have you started shoooting? Because we are not allowed to start until the rangemaster says! ....He thought I'd already started shooting (when he hit bat on door).

Is Dixon trying to use the rangemaster's comment as some kind of proof/confirmation of his experiments? :scared:

.. was probably more like the sound of champagne corks popping anyway .. seeing as it sounded a bit like a party with all the wives there, an all .. :facepalm:

 

[Freya1977]

Thank god that's over.

 

[jay-jay]

At long flippin last ...!

 

[Freya1977]

Oh here we go. Adjourned.

 

[kaos]

Here we go, adjournment.

 

[zwiebel]

Roux asks complicated question about what the effect would be if you added 20cms to photos already taken.

D: Approx halfway up the illuminated area, without the prosthesis.

Witness says head would not reach the top part.

Big sigh from someone and now silence.

R: If the court would just bear with me....

R: Thank you milady. I have no further questions.

 

[jay-jay]

They want to shoot off early .. the fact there's a long break I'm sure has nothing to do with it

 

[zwiebel]

Roux saying it's unfair to take nxt witness halfway thru his evidence. Appli to adjourn today and make up by starting at 9am instead.


!!!!

 

[AlexUK]

Start half an hour earlier! Nooooooo...I would have to get up earlier.... Boo hoo!

 

[Freya1977]

They want to shoot off early .. the fact there's a long break I'm sure has nothing to do with it

No I'm sure!

 

[zwiebel]

N: I understand request to postpone....as far as extended day is concerned....if we could perhaps address you on that.....respectfully, postpone to may 5th, 9.30am?
