Just highlighted the two lines in the middle - very stop start there, wonder if there was a problem with the witness

 

[Tortoise]

I'm hoping it means prosecutor finished and defence started her cross-examination.

We have a report!

Btw I still think all this timing of the toilet visit evidence - 2 minutes or 5-10 minutes - is pointless, unless she had a stopwatch on him. Why did he take her parachute to the loo at all? That's the crucial and undisputed peculiarity of his behaviour. As we have probably said before!

Not too much evidence from VC today ( presume, as you said Tortoise that this is all cross exam now )
Can only see 27 minutes this morning and she is now finished.

Went back through the thread as I wanted to remind myself what answer EC gave - at his first trial - to the all important question of why he felt the need to take VCs parachute to the toilets with him.

Here it is

Giving evidence on Monday, Cilliers said he did not give much thought as to how he came to take the parachute pack into the toilet with him the day before the ill-fated jump.

The jury in the case of Wiltshire Army sergeant Emile Cilliers accused of trying to kill his wife by sabortaging her parachute has been shown how it could've been done. Mr Cilliers denies two counts of attempted murder and one of recklessly endangering life. The trial continues.

This article was from Wednesday

The wife of an Army sergeant accused of trying to kill her by tampering with her parachute "was in good spirits" moments before jumping, a court heard.

Winchester Crown Court heard she "fist-bumped" a fellow skydiver just before her jump at Netheravon airfield.

Mrs Cilliers, an experienced skydiver, previously told the jury she was in tears and felt "hideous" moments before the jump.

But Robert Camps, assistant secretary of the Army Parachute Association at Netheravon, who has known Mrs Cilliers "since the early nineties", said "if anything, she seemed excited before the jump".

[...]

A fellow skydiver, Michael Lyons, told the court he was the last person to jump before Mrs Cilliers.

He said that Mrs Cilliers was "quiet" but "seemed fine" and did not seem reluctant to "fist bump".


Anne Bayada, a receptionist at Netheravon, told the court she spoke with Mrs Cilliers on the morning of the jump and they chatted about the recent birth of Mrs Cilliers's baby.

"She was in good spirits", Mrs Bayada said.

Rebecca Dickens, another skydiver, said Mrs Cilliers "seemed extremely happy" on the day of the jump, and "was looking forward to jumping".

[...]


Michael Bowes QC, for the prosecution, asked about Mr Cilliers's reaction when the news was broken to him.

Mr Camps said: "He didn't really say anything. And then I quite forcefully said: 'Emile, you need to get to the hospital. Is there anyone who can look after the kids?'

"And he said: 'No, not really'."
