''Reviews&Updates- This Week...

I wanted him to see me.  I'm the mother of Reeva.  I can't explain that to you why, that's what I WANTED to do today.  He just walked into the courtroom and looked straight ahead.  And then he sat down and never looked my way.  I've got to depend on the Justice System that we get justice and we get answers.  I've got confidence in that....''- June Steenkamp, Reeva's mother.

Meanwhile, last week- Pistorius's Ex-girlfriend Samantha Taylor testified in court.  Overwhelmed by emotions, court had to adjourn twice.  ''Oscar and friend only laughed after Oscar fired the shot out of sunroof'', said Samantha Taylor on Friday 07.  Then the defence probed incident in which a car followed Oscar and Samantha to his Estate entrance.  He then held a gun at driver's window of the car which sped off after that.

Version Of Lies

At the beginning of questioning, it seem as though Fresco was covering for his friend-  Who's lying between Taylor and Fresco?

On Tuesday 11, Darren Fresco-Oscar's friend was on stand.   He testified that when stopped by Metro police; ''Pistorius rudely addressed metro policeman to call him Mr 'Pistorius' with a good pronunciation'', said Fresco.  Pistorius's character revealed in court, which includes rude and arrogance.  Now, the damning question is ''why would Taylor implicate or lie.  Is Darren Fresco a reliable witness?  Obvious someone is lying, and he knows himself.

Pathologist Gert Saayman completed his testimony on Tuesday 11, but arguments over when did Reeva ate- approximately 2hours before her death and over how bullets affect body. -sources by ANN7.COM, SABC channel, timeslive.co.za and eNCA..com

''I don't remember my Lady'', said Darren Fresco, who had no answers in most questions.  He had no explanation in providing evidence...  ''I cant remember, I don't remember, I can't explain that- If I could and If I should remember, I would do that'' famous words used by Fresco!!!! What a moment*
 

                                                  Vermeulen demonstrate

Day 8&9, Forensic Expert/Analyst  Col. Gerhard Vermeulen was the 12th witness on stand.  He have 29 experience and 21 years of those are practical ones.  Bathroom door was displayed in court, Vermeulen said Pistorius was on stumps when he shot and killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp not on his prosthetic legs.  There are two marks on the door, with different angles and gunshots marks.  The third mark was difficult to determine because of harsh marks, looks like a heavy metal was used in vain of trying to open the door.  Evidence revealed in court are as follows:


  • Cricket Bat was produced as evidence
  • Cricket Bat matches the marks on the door
  • Bat used to strike at the bathroom door
