Trial Discussion Thread #38 - 14.05.13 Day 31

[Budgie]

I just caught the last few minutes of the trial, did Nel change his request for a Chapter 78 Referral to a simple evaluation request?

No...he went full court press with the application.

What is "the second element" Roux says the next witness will address?

i think it was part of his hypothetical argument. saying that the 30 day assessment could be re-introduced each time a witness mentions a 'disorder'.

but it was a bit difficult to follow... he was getting emotional...

I'm not getting any radio feeds right now? I would think that they would have MUCH to comment on but they don't appear to be following up?

This is the link I'm using and it's working fine.

The guy whose being interviewed says Dr Vorster was the State's "go to" person and she knows Nel well. He's saying you'll notice how he was nicer to her than he's been to other witnesses.

(It would have been more helpful if I provided the correct link )

 

[Freya1977]

I have posted a number of times in y'days thread - Nel misspoke on 3 days.
In SA it is 30 days!

Someone linked to it earlier and it actually states. "up to 30 days".

Scratching my head about this too.

Anyone know?

An attorney on whoopwhoop radio is predicting that the DT will bring on an expert who will talk about the Fight vs Flight syndrome, and how it would affect OP's decisions and behavior...

I doubt it happens but this could be Oscars last night as a free man for awhile. I'd be having myself a good meal tonight.

although... testimony-wise, she was quite nice to him too.

Oscar radio expert believes Milady will deny

Yes, very generous to him!

 

[patCee]

Legal person on WhoopWhoop saying that he doesn't think that Judge will refer.

Also saying that he knows Nel, and says a referral would give him so much, unknown info on OP, in subsequent reports. He says Nel would love to have all this a factor that probably motives the application.

Every time they mention Woolie's name on Oscar Radio it sounds like volleyball volmerans

13:01 - "Despite the b1tchiness in their arguments, Nel and Roux now chatting amicable, laughing and smiling," tweets Aislinn Laing. Lawyers eh...

They are likely friends in real life, certainly part of the same social circle, this is not personal for them, they both have a job to do and both, I expect respect each other.

I'm always knowing less than you all, but I try:

fight/flight
vulnerability

Pfft. I'd be behind the wheel of my car heading to Mozambique. LOL!

 

[katydid23]

Dr V. described him as hypervigilant about home security, slept with his bedroom door locked, was afraid of being home alone, was distrustful and guarded, and he felt his fame made him a target...

[ yet Roux said she did not label him as paranoid ? ]

Which was just another desperate attempt to get the court to deny the application. He really made himself look foolish when he said that. A court ordered psych evaluation would be comprehensive.
