Trial Discussion Thread #43 - 14.06.30 Day 33

If there was enough light to see the duvet, why couldn't he see if Reeva was lying in bed, a foot or two above?

 

[zwiebel]

R: This was his evidence: He used his hands to balance against the cupboards. The firearm in one hand, elbow bent. Does that make sense?

Dr: That makes sense.

 

[zwiebel]

R: In the bedroom, that was dark but he knew where his bed was. Wld a person fall?

Dr: If he knows where the objects are, that wld help, yes.

Nels cross is being destroyed

 

[zwiebel]

R asking about andrenalin spurts, and if they would have helped OP. Dr agrees it could.

 

[zwiebel]

R asks 'wld he fall, as fact' when he stepped on duvet?

 

[zwiebel]

Dr: I haven't witnessed Mr P running (on stumps). I've witnessed him walking.

 

[Mr Fossil]

Roux asked about walking over duvet. I thought OP said duvet was never on the floor.

 

[JudgeJudi]

Dr hasn't witnessed OP running.
It would be a number of very short steps, quite cumbersome.
When he puts his leg down on the left side, the stump has to be in a specific position.

 

[zwiebel]

Dr explains how Op's walk on stumps is 'cumbersome'. He goes down on left side with each step.

And Roux is finished. wants break before next witness. 5mins.

#OscarTrial Defence will call it's next witness after a five minute break

:sigh:

 

[sicknote]

Very surprised Nel didn't question him about the cricket bat.

 

[JudgeJudi]

5 minute adjournment.

 

[zwiebel]

It is going to be a late lunch today.

:facepalm:

Another break! Roux is never fully prepared.

 

[Suthrnqt]

5 minute adjournment.

I am absolutely amazed that anything ever gets done in SA.

 

[Giles]

This witness really helped the Defense's case IMO. It seems unlikely that OP used the cricket bat while on his stumps.

We're adjourned as the defence arrange their next witness. Pistorius family seem v emotional today, sister Aimee and aunt Lois particularly.

That's a good point.
