Trial Discussion Thread #44 - 14.07.1-2, Day 34-35

Oh, I thought he was OP's manager, that must be public relations manager. What a load of ... He's making OP sound nuttier than a fruitcake.

:floorlaugh:

 

[katydid23]

I hope My Lady is as disgusted by this BS as I am...

 

[zwiebel]

It was in Tuscany. OP was so excited he video-called Reeva and asked VZ to break the news to her. Reeva was very happy and excited.

Roux steps down. Adjourned. Lunch?

 

[Val1]

So this one is just a character witness then? :facepalm:

Heck, not just a character witness, but a freaking billboard advertisement for all the pots he has his fingers in!

 

[PrimeSuspect]

So, what brave person is going to sum up this morning's testimony for us?

I can try z. I might cheat with live updates if that's okay.

 

[katydid23]

" I informed her that she would be going with us to Brazil..."


SERIOUSLY? No one asked her? She was ' informed' that she was going?

What if she had her own events going on?

 

[jassy writer]

VZ: There was also on 7th Feb, I received an email re Andre Bochelli concert in Italy. I suggested, why don't you take Reeva to it? He was very excited.

And why would it take him to suggest that? One would have thought OP might have brought that possibility up!

 

[zwiebel]

Er, wasn't that a little odd? OP called Reeva to tell her about the exciting travel treats, but then asked his manager to actually tell her, while he (presumably) stood back to watch her reaction?

 

[kaos]

I hope Nel asks him how safe he felt when he was in Italy. Brazil would have been a nightmare for him considering that even the World Cup football teams needed armed police escorts.

 

[jay-jay]

My god, poor Reeva must've felt like she didn't have a life of her own .. bad enough with OP hounding her all the time but his manager organising her life for her as well?? :scared:

Yes, that is just bluddy weird ..

^^^ .. this has come as a real shock to me for all this to be revealed .. I can't tell you how disgusted I am by it. 'Informed'??? .. the absolute bluddy cheek of it!

Did anybody catch the name of the band whose video he appeared in?

 

[G.bng]

Sorry but this is really hard to believe.:moo: He was just evaluated.

With respect you are getting things all mixed up. OP was only evaluated in respect of whether any psychological condition/s he may have, if any and whatever it or they may be, could have affected his ability to appreciate wrongfulness, and/or his ability to act in accordance with his appreciation of wrongfulness, the night of the offence as per Masipa's order.

The "Mental State at Time of Offence Evaluation" as often called, covered nothing more. Zilch. And all of which doesn't mean, and repeat, doesn't mean, that OP doesn't have personality and/or psychological issues, as many of us do and as he probably has, and all of which the defence will obviously use as best they can, and as is their right, to try to mitigate sentencing, simply that the psychological issues OP has, be these GAD, OCD, ACD, or whatever they or other psychologists found, don't affect and didn't affect his ability to appreciate right and wrong that night, the ONLY thing the panel had to evaluate for the court.

#OscarTrial Oscar appears quite emotional. Aimee has held him on a long embrace while seated in the dock. BB

Now that could be the basis for a good argument I'd suggest. Who the heck does he think he is? Talk about controlling. She had a nice life of her own, with plenty of real friends, before she met him.

Wow. I wondered if this testimony was going to tear OP up emotionally. Not the part about Reeva. The part where his mgr describes all of the huge global fame and fortune. " We stayed in 5 Star Hotels and dined with Kings."

That must have gutted him.

 

[kaos]

May not be relevant but I used to have a deaf dog who could actually hear loud bangs like fireworks. She wouldn't have been able to hear noise if it was of the same consistent volume as that given off by a firework but she could hear a loud, short and immediate bang.

She also brought some of her own contracts over that night. I wonder if the contracts had dates that conflicted with his upcoming events?
