Trial Discussion Thread #35 - 14.05.08 Day 28

Going back to Reeva's top will the holes through .
I had previously thought she was wearing it back to front ( and yes I know I am in the minority here which is fine ) but then dismissed that idea because I made the mistake of thinking the hole right through the top was a bullet hole and it would have been on the wrong side if she had it on back to front ,so accepted that the top must just have been ruched up
If it is not a bullet hole then maybe she could have had the top on back to front after all .
Mmmmm don't know what to make of this now .
The damage right through the top is interesting though, wonder how it got there.

I post on another forum talking about OP's trial as well & I tried several times on there to point this out to them but nobody was interested in even discussing it so I thought I'd try on here...it makes no sense whatsoever that a witness wakes upon hearing loud crying, states catagorically that all she heard that night was loud crying but her immediate thought was that a security guard had been shot.

She absolutely must surely have heard a bang or a shot or something prior to the crying.

I was amazed when Nel didn't pick up on what she had actually said, as imo it was one of those moments where a witness says something without realizing the significance of what they've actually given up with their testimony.

You make a very good point. Why would you associate loud crying with something you did not hear? So logic tells us she must have heard shots and she's contradicting herself.

Nel started his cross by getting the witness to say she followed the whole trial and she knows all the contentious issues. This means the witness herself testified that her testimony about that night can not be trusted.

But Nel can't have his cake and eat it too. So once he's established her memory is tainted by what she's heard, he can't very well ask her to testify about shots.

Morning peeps! Warren Levine in the last thread mentioned that some of the live streaming sites have a virus that looks like a java update icon. I was just mentioning to someone that my computer seems to want me to update java a LOT in the last 3 weeks by what appears to be a legitimate popup. What is the virus Warren? or anyone? that I could search it out as my AVG isn't catching anything.

TIA and sorry for the OT just that I have seen that Icon too, but didn't RECALL clicking it...but hey, late night viewing here.

Just wanted to say thanks so much for all your updates through each day - I also follow a few twitters and nine times out of ten you and Trooper beat them all for speed and accuracy. Now, can I have a piece of that poppy seed cake?

Hi Everyone!

Looks like I just in time!

 

[zwiebel]

They're back.

Wildabout's asleep?

I wonder if Nel just didn't bother picking up on these points because he just regards it as evidence after the fact and has previously said he doesn't dispute much after the shooting ?
I am quite sure Nel will have picked up on it if we did ?

ITA. Nel is not interested in events after the shooting. jmo

Today I've brought Mohn Streuselkuchen (poppy seed crumble cake) with me. I took the photo outside where the light's good and was mobbed by birds.
