IS HE GUILTY?

Funnily I don't think she has been a great witness. She and her husband differ on number of shots. Why would Oscar shout for help before shooting her? Could it have been the bat she heard? All he has to do is sow doubt in the courts mind.

She has had music training(so her hearing is superior I think to his) so I'd be with her and she is unfailing in her testimony-

Maybe I watch too much US cases but I was amazed at how she could be cross examined on other witness statements(other neighbours) that haven't even been entered into evidence yet??

The most amazing sight that I've seen on Ch 199 is Leigh Bennie - hell she has lost a great deal of weight - Well Done

Hi CnC, met him and he was a charming guy. He was Thandolwami's celebrity when he ran 2nd in the Charity mile. If he is guilty of anything he must face the consequences. Defence knows a lot more than me about the case and maybe they building up to it but I just thought( I am at stables so might have missed something) that there were holes in her statement that had not been questioned yet. I have a top advocate in my yard who was also a Judge for a few years so I am going to ask him what he thinks.

We have not heard her husbands statement/testimony so unfair to compare. Each statement is entitled to be different because : they never woke up at the same given time, one ventured outside the other remained inside, one panics more than the other etc . She was correct in saying " ask my husband what he heard, not me ". If the statements were exactly the same then they would say it was rehearsed or fabricated.

I sit with my fiance and we both watch the same program and often one of us has to ask the other what was said and we are both CONCENTRATING when watching - At 3am in the morning hell we both would have different recollections of the same program so I think a great deal of forensic evidence will be the crux here as will the reasonable man theory

Barry Roux has now questioned Dr. Burgers for hours doesn't seem that he is getting anywhere and she is not budging on her story
he repeatedly are trying to get her to admit that that what she heard was the cricket bat against the door but she is not falling for that
good on her, he asked her if she knows what it sounds like when a willow hit a meranti door so she says no but she is sure she heard gun shots and the sound of the bat it can not sound the same as a gunshot, so when he asked her how she knows that she says to him he must ask experts about the sound of a bat against a door not her
I think he know the importance of her testimony, if the judge accept it that she heard screams and shots, the defense will be in trouble as described in one of my earlier posts

Just heard burger broke down in tears
StOod down and 2nd witness called in.

Estelle van de merwe called to the stand.

Same questions over and over. Wonder if this trial will ever end.?
