I see I'm a little late to the party. Thanks Cherwell. :blushing:

Hello Mr. Fossil. Incredible work! Thanks. I may have missed a few posts and some of the back and forth, and I may be misreading your chart, but looking at your Witness Testimony Analysis 2 it doesn't seem to make provision for Reeva to have screamed after she was hit by the first shot in the...

In my view, the only reliable outcome from the Weskoppies interlude was that Reeva's killer did not suffer from GAD at the time of her death. -- without constant 24-hour observation, he was free to go home every night and reflect on and discuss the process -- he had access to a...

Many of us are dismayed at the depersonalisation of Reeva Steenkamp throughout the trial. It was all about the bad guy; Reeva was "his girlfriend", "the love of his life", "the deceased", "a model" and her killing was "an accident", "a mistake", "an incident". Perhaps we could redress this...

Thanks for the clarification. Still found the venting therapeutic.

&%@*#$&! %@$#!*& *%^&@!#$ him and the horse he rode in on! How dare he even mention those two names in the same sentence. I visited Mandela's cell on Robben Island, spartan it was, and you didn't hear his lawyers whining about the lack of facilities and home comforts. An earlier post suggested...

Thanks, kittychi -- now at least I know one person might read it, but I'd give it to you free anyway! ;)

It may just be sloppy reporting. What I think he meant was that if the NPA was satisfied there were no errors in law by Masipa, they would not appeal the CH sentence (which many legal commentators suggest was expertly reasoned). Their focus seems to be on the danger of letting the judgement...

[BBM] BIB: At which point he'd shoot his girlfriend. Great post, Estelle, thanks!

There is also option 5). As suggested in an earlier post, it's very likely Oscar will become a regular and highly-paid speaker on the evangelical circuit. Here's my reasoning: -- his most vociferous and loyal followers are Christians (seemingly of the hardcore, born again variety) -- Robert...

Oh dear, Paul_1900 has been kidnapped by someone who writes perfect English. Can we open a thread?

Thank you, Saint Paul. From time to time I've thought there might be a book in me, but looks like it's not coming out without surgery. :o

Ah, Lux et Veritas. Light and truth. Both have been casualties in this case and therein, as you've so eloquently expressed, lies our bitter harvest. There can be no doubt that both Reeva and Oscar's lives ended that fateful night. Yes, but he can carry on living, is the popular refrain. Make no...

As Monty Python would say: "Come back and fight!" :tantrum:

Pandax and mrjitty, Reading your posts is like watching a tough six-setter between Federer and Nadal. Enthralling, grueling and exhausting. Just when one seems to have the perfect lob a volley shoots back across the court. I, for one, am enjoying it and hope neither of you retires frustrated...

Roxanne's inexperience may have let slip more than she intended. The consistency of the convict' demeanor, the crestfallen attitude of his family, the absence of perceptible reaction on the PT and DT benches, the deliberately crafted five-year sentence, the quickness to rule out appeal, and...

Goodnight/morning/afternoon all. See you at the appeal (a man can dream can't he?).

Any idea where we can send them our apologies? They have such a hungover sense of entitlement from the worst days of apartheid. As an ex South African I can pick it up all the way from Sydney.

Really does! Titian would have had to paint over the Myers though.

Both june and Barry have been shown saying they are "satisfied" -- classy family. Pistorius family members are ignoring questions.
