Trial Discussion Thread #5 - 14.03.11-12, Day 7-8

[zwiebel]

D took a photo of speedometer when OP was driving.

 

[minor4th]

There was a door but it doesn't look like THE door because there's no panel missing

 

[zwiebel]

Ummm. D sat with Sam in the witness room few days before. Don't know why Roux mentioned that....

 

[Really?]

Ouch! This judge does seem to favor Roux

:banghead:Saw that as well

 

[gajonka]

Roux has a photo.

Judge has no knowledge of it.

Dear Mega-Sleuths:
Am I correct - that this current witness ( Fresca?) that he USED to be OP's buddy, but now he is more or less testifying AGAINST Op's interests>>>>?????


Thanks so much!!!

Love ya,


THE GAJONKA

 

[zwiebel]

Photo shows speedo 260 mph. Taken at 16.40.

Roux says D was driving and 'You engineered false evidence this morning.'

ETA Judge corrected him. 16.41

 

[minor4th]

Roux goes for the jugular .Not quite following this yet

 

[minor4th]

Darren is caught lying or fabricating evidence. Told you!

 

[zwiebel]

Silence from D then "It must have been me. I do not remember"

Roux's destroying him.

Nel objects 'Nothing to gainsay that D drove to the Vaal'

:banghead:Saw that as well

I posted a comment yesterday that was deleted ( and I more or less agree with the decision to 86 it).

But it was something like this

HYPOTHETICAL

The Judge loves Roux, I wonder if something is going on there... hint-hint.

End of Hypothetical

xo

It's a no-no for witnesses to be comparing notes

 

[zwiebel]

R: 'I still put it to you...second part, taking of the photo when the accused was driving'

D admits it must have been him driving, but he doesn't remember photo being taken

R steps down. Photo is exhibit X

 

[minor4th]

Roux just gutted Darren and his testimony

 

[gajonka]

Photo shows speedo 260 mph. Taken at 16.40.

Roux says D was driving and 'You engineered false evidence this morning.'

ETA Judge corrected him. 16.41

I don't think it is MPH - it think it is KMH... right>?

I received a ticket for driving 102... I don't think cars can get to 260 mph.. so it is KpH... anyone have the moxy to offer an effective conversion rate> ? (smile)

[zwiebel]

That did not go well for D, I think.

*** So is Fresca and OP no longer mates>>>??? In your opinion, based upon this test? (thank you!)

Thanks so much!!!

[zwiebel]

There is a new witness on stand, number 60 on list but not named yet.

 

[Really?]

A photo album put into exhibit

 

[zwiebel]

Nel has a photo album submitted into evidence.

Witness wants to make a confirmed statement not a sworn statement? Col in SA Police.

 

[minor4th]

Wait - so a witness can choose to give a statement that's not a sworn statement?
