Trial Discussion Thread #6 - 14.03.13-14, Day 9-10

[Trooper]

now.. the panel of the toilet door.. is completely out.. the panel itself is away from the door..

last photo of the day. thankyou Lord.. the magazine rack in the toilet.. not to be confused with a GUN magazine thingy..

 

[Really?]

OP is now looking more like Jodi Arias with those glasses.

:moo:

Von confirms that bath panel was 'so bended' (translator version) when he first saw it.

Nel asks for adjournment till tomorrow. Clever man. Timed that perfectly.

9am tomorrow

 

[canny]

Hurray, the bashed up plate appears.

 

[Trooper]

court has adjourned.. resumes at 9.30 SAST tomorrow.

 

[Trooper]

whoa. that bathroom window.. either he left it open AND WENT TO SLEEP, or he opened it when he darted back upstairs, or the window is a red herring.

 

[james83]

so virtually the whole of the top panel of the door was missing?, how does that fit with the photos that were leaked which showed just a small portion missing?

very confused.

 

[zwiebel]

I suppose OP could have reached inside the toilet, got the key out of the lock, unlocked the door on his (bathroom side), then pulled it out and dropped it on the floor.

If he was in such a rush to reach his dying girlfriend though, it seems like a waste of time. Why not just turn the key and open the door? Why take it out?

Unless it flew out, because he was bashing the door after he had unlocked it?

He will no doubt claim Reeva must have opened it, but why the hell would she do that?, to cry for help maybe?.

In oscar's affadavit he said he picked the key up from the floor.

Erin Conway-Smith@ejcs#OscarPistorius seems chipper as he leaves the dock and chats with his lawyers. Smiling as they flip through printouts of photos.

I think the photos were of the panels themselves, once they had been REINSERTED into the door..

this to show the trajectory of the bullets I suppose..

OP is going to have to account for the broken phone, dented bath panel and key out of the lock and on the floor in bathroom, not toilet, imo.

Also the blood smeared watch in his room.

Uh? If he picked it up, why's it on the floor in the photo?

Ummm, shouldn't that be retching?

 

[james83]

Something i've never considered before, could Oscar have locked her in the toilet from the outside, fired the shots, then a few minutes after bashed the door with the cricket bat to cover his backside?.

 

[zwiebel]

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide in that toilet...

Hi James, those pics were of the door as they found it, these pics have only been shown today, all pics from yesterday were reconstructed door being forensically examined. Yesterdays pics showed a sliver of wood missing therefore there was a small gap, I think Roux stated the missing sliver was found on Reeva, Col Vermeulen didn't know where it was. The pics today show the door panel as found at crime scene, panel completely out.

 

[canny]

Doesn't Oscar have a couple of Tigers?? why didn't he have them in his back yard??

His guard dogs were housed just below the window in the bathroom.The intruder managed to slip by his dogs, used the ladder being used by his civil Contractor to climb up into his bathroom then slipped into his luxurious toilet for a pee or to ogle at his girlie magazines.
