OP says he has thought about how Reeva must have felt. #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
OP: I didn't hear Reeva shout when I shot. Nel: In your bail you said no one except you screamed #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel: can you say Reeva didn't scream? OP: I didn't hear the screams #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel: but you don't think it is possible that she shouted out even with a loud shot. OP admits no one could hear above shot #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
OP sits back after Nel asks "are you sure she didn't shout". OP close to tears. "She didn't shout out" #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
OP saying she has been in a similar situation before and "Reeva locked herself away and didn't speak to anyone for a day" #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel: "She was not afraid of anything except YOU" OP: In her mind she would have thought I was retreating #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel: in the state&defence she was facing the door. "She was talking to you" OP: That is not true, I don't know what she would do #OscarTrial
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
OP: I agree that she would have answered but I believe she thought the danger was coming closer to her and kept quiet #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel said the fact that OP "kept on shouting" is the the "most improbable of your version" she was 3m away from you #OscarTrial – ^CV

Nel: when you got to bathroom no one was there? OP: Yes #OscarTrial – ^CV

OP: I didn't want to give my position away (why kept quiet) #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel: Im testing your thought pattern…You thought it would be better to keep quiet when entered bathroom OP: That is correct #OscarTrial – ^C
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
OP: "I don't know whether it was consideration or instinct" #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel says OP considered walking slow, shouted, was quiet, and considered many things. Oldwage (defence) shakes his head #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel: It is so improbable that an intruder would hide in your toilet…#OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel: But you think it is reasonable for the intruder to go into the toilet? OP: I don't know what an intruder would do #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel suggesting OP is making mistakes because he is inventing a version #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel: "Your mistakes are as convincing as your evidence in the way you deliver it" #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel says it is not about the mistake but about him saying "never ever". "You are so convinced" #OscarTrial – ^CV

OP:"The bathroom was not as dark as the bedroom" #OscarTrial – ^CV

Nel: Now your thinking… OP: "Every moment was a split second decision." #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel: You approached the danger…no one would do that. OP: That's my personality, that's the way I am. I do that #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel: You wanted to confront the robbers OP: That is correct #OscarTrial – ^CV

— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
NEL: That wasn't in your bail application…Why? OP: I don't know why I didn't put that in. Nel: because you fabricated it #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014

OP: I am sure if might have been. #OscarTrial – ^CV

— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
OP: would have been very difficult for me to put on my legs if the fan was where mr Nel says. I have to extend my legs to put on #OscarTrial
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel asking about the position of the fans. “Where they not in your way” OP: I don’t remember but I assume they where #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
#OscarTrial. Nel’s list: according to Oscar police moved fans, curtains, duvet, Reeva’s jeans. – ^ID
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel seems to be suggesting OP could not have moved the fans as his iPad is in the way #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
#OscarTrial. Oscar admits jean on top of duvet is inconsistent with his version that duvet was on bed, didn’t interfere with moving fans. –

OP pages through album. Nel are you paging through the album? OP: Yes (stops). Nel: You’re allowed to page through the album…. #OscarTrial –
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
OP does agree that IF the jean was in fact on top of to the duvet his version does not make sense. #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
OP refers to police photographer who said jean was next to duvet #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
But if duvet was on floor he must have heard Reeva stand up. OP says duvet was on the bed, police moved it #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
If jean is on top of the duvet OP’s version is less likely. He said he had jeans in hand when heard noise. Duvet on floor then #OscarTrial –
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel showing a different angle. “A corner of the duvet is under the jean” #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
When looking at the photo it does seem like the jean could be next to the duvet #OscarTrial – ^CV

— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Judge: I’m very doubtful (that it is on the duvet) when we speak of angles. court adjourns for a close up of photo #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Roux objects and says it is not a fact that jean is on top of duvet. “It could be a the angle” It’s unfair to say it is on top #OscarTrial –
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
Nel: Why would the denim be on top of the duvet? OP: I don’t know #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014

Nel: why didn’t you say Reeva did you hear that? OP: I wasn’t confused about what I heard #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
OP: I turned around, got the gun and told Reeva to “get down”. Since the time I heard the noise I tried to keep eye on passage #OscarTrial –
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
OP: I didn’t hear her get up #OscarTrial – ^CV
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) April 11, 2014
