Actually Annemarie's ex- husband was scheduled to be the first witness today. Weird coincidence! Barry Bateman @barrybateman #OscarTrial Roux’s next witness is Oscar’s orthopaedic surgeon Dr Gerry Versfeld, the ex-husband of Annemarie [no-last-name]. BB

Interesting! I once saw interview with him from when he was in his late teens (on YouTube) in which he says he really loves to draw and he has also said he might be an architect if he wasn't running. Maybe he really does have some talent for drawing.

I am quite intrigued by this phone on the charger in the kitchen. That's the elusive 5th phone, right? The one Carise and perhaps others used to call Carl P., Piet, Justin etc. It is also the one OP used to call Stander and Netcare. So when did he go put it on the charger? Or did he run...

The problem is, it is just not clear he did say this. We have no autopsy report to read. No full transcripts of Saayman's testimony. No audio. We are all just trying to interpret reported speech. I do understand your interpretation of the situation. But when I read: "After being shot...

I don't think the IT witness mentioned syncing one way or another in his testimony. My point was more that with smartphones, one can't necessarily assume that the data is uniquely "in" a particular phone. For example, if I receive a text on the native iphone message app on my iphone when I am...

The missing phone mystery is something very odd and intriguing. However, for the sake of the integrity of this trial, I think it is important to note that none of the data submitted as evidence, is data that could have been tampered with. What was submitted related to the 5th phone? Phone...

Every report I have seen on "OP's new girlfriend" is still referring back to that single initial report in The Sun tabloid. Doesn't give me much confidence in the truth of this. JMO (And she has not appeared at the trial court, contrary to some rumors. I have seen no credible link for that.)

No, there is no indication he did. The discussion was just about bail conditions and whether lifting bail conditions was the right judgement.

According to the blood spatter expert van Nest there appeared to be: "Spatter in the downstairs lounge was caused by an arterial spurt. The stairs are above the lounge." He said there was a distinctive pattern in the the shape of the letter "S" which indicated an arterial spurt. "The blood...

Three fans! (1 lent to a house guest)

Agreed! I expect the Twitter nutter knows none of the people in this case but just enjoys the notoriety of being a troll. Ignore.

Looks like even Roux has been made a bit emotional by today too. Karyn Maughan ‏@karynmaughan 2m Roux tells ballistic expert Mangena:"if the state incorrectly prosecuted an innocent young men, then you have ruined him forever" @eNCAnews

Tom Peck ‏@tompeck 1m The lawyers and the family are crowding the witness box. Oscar is wailing, wailing, loudly. The judge has left. This is a mess.

Yeah, i think we'll need to relisten! What I got was that he said he had bought her a designer bracelet earlier in the year and was going to meet her at a jewelry shop the next day to pick out some charms for it. Gia Nicolaides ‏@GiaNicolaides 1h #OscarPistorius says he bought Reeva...

He did say Reeva's jeans. David Smith ‏@SmithInAfrica 48m #Pistorius: "I could see a pair of jeans on the floor, Reeva's jeans. I picked them up and was going to place them over the light."

Ooooh, the jeans outside on the grass have been a big mystery here on WS. I am sure someone has a photo of them. They were among the photos submitted by the prosecution.

Yes, by the next day (meaning he probably had to fly that night). There is nothing here that implies she is lying about taking a ride with Fresco and OP. However, I think Roux was implying that ST could not have stayed at his house that night...and emphasizing maybe her memory in general of...

No Roux didn't say that. When ST couldn't remember if OP had dropped her off that night after the sunroof shooting or if she went to his house or what, Roux asked her if she remembered that OP had to be in Scotland by the next day to play golf...

Yes, but I think most of what we heard today was material he has told a thousand times before for magazines and TV interviews. Sometimes I felt I had heard it word for word before. His childhood, his mother, his sports accomplishments, overcoming his disability...even the boat accident It is...

"Urban" is often used as a euphemism for hip-hop/black/minority culture . This is nothing new. It is only racist if the context is racist. If you have never heard it used this way, no worries. Check out the Urban Music Awards (hip hop and soul awards). The term "urban music" has even made it...
