BIB .. absolutely, and I cannot BELIEVE that the judge accepted at face value that OP was trying to resuscitate Reeva at the scene, and was genuinely distressed, when Dr Stipp turned up .. it's common knowledge that perpetrators of domestic violence can put on these sorts of displays for others, or can lie ('I thought she was an intruder') at the drop of a hat! I know mine could! JM's ignorance about domestic violence and abuse, and the way it works, is absolutely JAW DROPPING.
How it has been deemed there was not enough evidence is beyond me, too .. all the blood trail along the carpet, up onto the duvet on the floor with the jeans on, which meant the fan could not have been where OP said it was .. what happened to all of that? Along with heaps of other stuff, and ear witness accounts (which should NOT have been thrown out, just because they were not identical .. you would never expect them to be). It's the 'MOSAIC' that Nel kept talking about, that was the important thing .. and Masipa has totally disregarded the lot of it. Disgraceful! .. and yet, she kept using various statements provided by OP and deemed them to be the truth, even though there were no other witnesses other than Reeva? She even took the toilet door as being locked as gospel truth .. well where is the judge's evidence for that toilet door being locked? Why is it that she can throw out various bits of evidence because she thinks it's unreliable, but then add in various bits of 'evidence' (because it suits a CH verdict) but for which there is also no actual hard evidence to support it. It's like a 'pick and mix' and if she is going to say that the evidence to convict him of knowingly murdering Reeva was unreliable, then equally her own evidence for convicting him of CH is also just as unreliable, if you are going to work on her basis.
