CRICKET BAT OR GUNSHOT?

It's day 11 of the Oscar Pistorious Murder Trial, people everywhere are sitting glued to their TV's, laptops and social medias such as Twitter and Facebook. This is rivetting stuff and has all the makings of another Hollywood blockbuster, even the comedians are finding enough material to tweet a string of jokes about defence lawyer Barry Roux. When the Proteas cricket team played at Centurion on Friday, it was said that he notified ADT (a local security company) because he thought it was a gun battle going on! I am told that there are still over a hundred witnesses still to take the stand and that is not including the murder accused himself. Listening to the testimonies so far, I get the impression that Oscar was a "loose cannon" who liked guns. But the matter at hand asks the question: "Did he kill Reeva, intentionally or not"? The lady at the chemist believes that the two had an argument and that he hit her with the cricket bat and she ran to the bathroom bleeding and screaming. She locked the door and still screamed as Oscar attempted to break down the door with the bloodied cricket bat. (You will remember last year a bloodied cricket bat was found at the scene). The fatal shots followed because he wanted to keep her quiet. Photos of a bloodied duvet were shown in court which don't make sense. Oscar has a lot of explaining to do and by the way I see it (excuse the pun) he doesn't have a leg to stand on. Why would an intruder turn on the bathroom light? Why would an intruder lock themselves in the toilet? That night Reeva was scared of Oscar and feared for her life! Defence lawyer Barry Roux is trying his best to win the case for Oscar, by suggesting that he screams like a woman. And what about the sound of a cricket bat being struck against a maranti door? Does it sound like a gunshot? No wonder Twitter comics made fun of the fact by saying that Mr Roux took part in the Argus Cycle Race, and struggled to start peddling because he was waiting for the sound of a cricket bat being hit against a maranti door. And then what about the woman interpreter who couldn't speak English properly when she attempted to translate from Afrikaans to English. I believe she was shown the door later in the day. I wonder if we will have another entertaining day in court? Let me go switch the TV on..........
