Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

I know all about Gerrie Nel and his days with the Scorpions. I mentioned earlier that it was his expertise that was instrumental in getting Selebi in spite of all the SA government had thrown at him to try quash Selebi's activities. Long story short (with very minimal details) a family member owned and operated an armed security company that was hired to protect Selebi and some of his comrades. When they knew what was going on, they wanted out of the contract and the government would not let them off. It is because of this gentleman they were finally able to walk away - alive. This case is a walk in the park by comparison. I wait to see how the judge deals with this. Gerrie does have a problem with the contaminated crime site but I repeat, this case is light weight by comparison to what he had to deal with. Shall be interesting to read the transcripts after the judge's ruling to see if the law was enforced correctly.

That's why Gerrie is focusing more on Pistorius's story than on the crime scene - and he did an excellent job of that yesterday.

So Nel has worked it from accidental to negligent. This guy is good.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Nel has helped Pistorius to ensnare himself with his own lies. There were moments yesterday where Pistorius clearly couldn't remember what story he'd spun.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

I got the feeling Pistorious was trying to second guess everything Nel was throwing at him and ended up getting himself confused. The detail of the incidents didnt change that much, but enough for Nel to accuse him of lying. Half the time I couldn't understand Nels questions. They weren't phrased very well, but then again that's his job .... Confuse the accused.

Riveting TV this.

I thought he was a she: Judge Thokozile Masipa.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

And he's a she!

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

I can't tell by the name, but the judge looks very much like a lady.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Did anyone read that book where the murderer shoved his wife off a fire watch forest platform then acted so cut up, vomiting and crying that he got away with it

I'm having flashbacks to that book watching Pistorius,
do you think he reads the same books :rofl:

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Dude looks like a lady.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

No I didn't. Any detail, or just your opinion?

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

You can only wail and produce drama for so long before it loses it's effect. Wonder how new squeeze feels watching his dramatically "broken" heart.:sneaky:

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Every time I see the bold bit I read Gerry and the Pacemakers. :lol:

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

I don't knnoooow if he's innocent or not! he sounds sorry but before you shot bullets surely you would think about where your partner was and get them out of the way before you shot bullets!! guess no-one knows the story apart from him, same as that balcony man!!!
