Oscar Pistorius: South Africa gears up for its 'trial of the century'

(CNN) -- He was one of South Africa's favorite sons, an amputee track star who defied all the odds and sprinted into the hearts of millions during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. She was a staggering beauty with the brains to match, a law graduate and model whose star was on the rise.

Gah. Left my breakfast on the old thread.

Nel reading VZ's words about OP's famous victory for competing in able-bodied events.
 
Sit down Barry and shut up. "It's unfair". He makes me sick. He can have his turn later.
 
So are all the posts from today's session going to be carried over?
 
Nel is talking about the honourary doctorate given to Pistorius for “what he has achieved…through sport. That’s why this is bestowed on him.”

Van Zyl stressed yesterday and today it was from visiting the labs and giving charitable work for research on his prosthetic, giving these prosthetics to landmine victims and other non0abled.

Nel trying to stress that what the honourary PhD is given for is not for research or charity, but purely for his history/biography of being a runner. Purely bestowed…from “celebrity.”
 
Roux: In all fairness, Mr Nel must read last paras as well

N: I will

R: You can't read out just half

And judge seems to be taking Roux's side. Nel says Roux can cross examine, but judge says no, she wld prefer he reads whole thing.
 
Nel's getting around it but breaking up what he's reading with questions to witness..:)
 
N: The point I'm making is, this isn't about his work with Uni of Strathclyde, it's about his achievements
 
No idea where Nel is going with this. I'm assuming he's trying to dismiss Van Zyl's testimony as basically a fabricated curriculum vitae for OP with all the work that he's stated OP done but never actually done.
 
I think Nel is failing to make a very clear point here, sadly....he's reading the letters at the speed of light and not getting much from witness

Talking about David Beckham and photo shoot now
 
N: This photo shoot was with David B?

VZ: There were lots of different athletes...

Is this the doctorate they are currently considering rescinding.
