Trial Discussion Thread #36 - 14.05.09 Day 29

W says he did not do any tests with bat and gun? But there were some decibel tests 'about two months ago', at OP's house.

W: A cricket bat was used to hit the door but unfortunately it didn't work out. The whole door moved, it was not stable. The whole exercise was a mishap.

 

[DebinGA]

I cannot believe that someone dealing with such important information would keep such documents in such a chaotic manner.

I can, because Wollie's expertise re "sound tests" isn't any better than Dixon's. He just said, "I'm not a sound expert". Wow.

" And NEVER did I change any thing in my reports for the defense..."



[ Nel didn't even ask that question...he just offered that denial}

[ when my kids used to do that, I knew they were fibbing...lol]

 

[Interested Bystander]

I'm finding this so painful, so embarrassing. Surely, Wolly wouldn't have got away with testifying like this in his police career?

In his time Wollie was said to be very good but he is now well past his best. He will know everything there is to know but is no longer able to satisfactorily deal with being an expert witness or be cross examined. Time to retire methinks.

Sound tests were done about two months ago in OP's house re decibels. A cricket bat was used to hit the door. It didn't work out because the door was fitted into a frame, the door moved. It was not stable. The whole exercise was a ? mishap. He was only present.

 

[Trooper]

nel who was with you at this test??

Woll. I cant remember.. might have been a mr Malaan... I cant recall. he tried to fit the door into the frame.. mr Arnold Pistorius was there (!!!_.)))....

 

[supernovaNic]

Oscar went back to the house for the sound test?

 

[zwiebel]

Nel says he won't ask him about sounds as he is not a sound expert, but wants to know who was present?

W: I think it was a Mr Malon...the accused himself was there...I think Arnold Pistorius was there...I'm trying to think

N: Was Mr Dixon there?

W: No.

N: Who hit the door with the bat?

W: The accused himself.

In his time Wollie was said to be very good but he is now well past his best. He will know everything there is to know but is no longer able to satisfactorily deal with being an expert witness or be cross examined. Time to retire methinks.

In his high school yearbook, he was voted Most Likely to Have His Expert Testimony Impeached.

 

[zwiebel]

W says they could not fire a shot there 'because it's an urban area'.

 

[JudgeJudi]

Nel wants to know who was present.
W says OP was present. Dixon wasn't there and a couple of others. I couldn't catch the names. OP hit the door with the bat himself. Shots weren't fired.

Yeah, ITA......Parenting 101

 

[Viper]

Just another crappy defense "expert" witness. I believe that I have the hang of this now, I am definitely following the trend.

 

[Freya1977]

Oscar went back to the house for the sound test?

And he hit the door with the bat. Wow!

 

[Val1]

Oscar went back to the house for the sound test?

Hmm, I could have sworn that OP had said that he hadn't been back to the scene of the crime since that day...

 

[Really?]

Are you kidding? I'm having the time of my life! I can't believe this guy is leaving skidmarks, and Nel's not even warmed up yet!

:floorlaugh:

 

[katydid23]

well, this expert is single handedly invalidating any future presentation of the sound test...lol

 

[zwiebel]

W: Milady I can just say-know this isn't a question by Mr Nel-I'm not a sound expert. I just organized it....this was only done due to a thing that came onto youtube. As far as I know, I was requested by the legal team to do it. But I'm not a sound expert...

N: Let us in future just answer the question. Please just answer the questions.

 

[Trooper]

now.. Woll says.. he organised all this range stuff, all the cricket bat stuff.

They actually did it in relation to some YOUTUBE VID CLIP. oh the idiots. the idiots. .

but, says woll. I couldn't make head nor tails of the results, if any. I am not a sound expert,
