To me as well ;)

RoadKillBunny · 13/05/2014 10:58

So we were right about or thought about appeal loop holes.

StackALee · 13/05/2014 11:00

Do you think they will ask for her evidence to be thrown out?

Roussette · 13/05/2014 11:01

Nel is summing it up well. Defence chose to call the psychiatrist at this late stage when there was no indication whatsoever of any problem before. And now there is a psychiatric diagnosis presented to the Court, Nel is basing the application on this. Makes sense to me. Nel's playing a blinder.

At the moment, they're just asking whether he should be assessed properly.

LookingThroughTheFog · 13/05/2014 11:02

It makes sense to me too, Roussette. Let's see.

RoadKillBunny · 13/05/2014 11:03

Nel now has me convinced that this should be granted. God he is persuasive.
He really has hammered it home why the assessment hold is necessary.
I luff you Mr Nel!

AnyaKnowIt · 13/05/2014 11:03

Reading case law now

Bet Roux is kicking himself

Roussette · 13/05/2014 11:03

Ahhhh... yes. Nel is now saying that if OP is sentenced, it will go to the Court of Appeal if he doesn't request this assessment.

Did anyone just see Roux throw the highlighter to the back of the desk, very unhappy bunny!

LookingThroughTheFog · 13/05/2014 11:05

I luff you Mr Nel!

What's alarming me recently, is that some of my bias over the case MIGHT be based on the fact that I luff Mr Nel a bit too.

Roussette · 13/05/2014 11:06

AND Nel is saying this consulation with the psychiatrist has taken place after OP has given evidence and after other defence witnesses have taken the stand. I wonder whose idea it was to bring this psychiatrist in. What choice has the Judge I wonder. Nel is asking 'why' and I am wondering that too, as is any layman possibly.

Nel is rather loveble Looking gruff but rather sexual Blush

He does believe that a guilty verdict is inevitable, so does Roux by brining in the psychiatrist so late.

AnyaKnowIt · 13/05/2014 11:09

Nel: We will argue that the accused was not the most impressive witness. Isn't that why the doctor has been called now.

I luffs Nel too

Roussette · 13/05/2014 11:10

Oh Lordy. Nel is saying that because OP was possibly not an impressive witness, that is why the Defence has called this psychiatrist.

I didn't notice this. I have noticed that a high proportion of male legal people chew the arms of their glasses.

Also the person sitting with Pistorius' family who appears to be listening via a translator, reminds me quite a lot of Abraham Lincoln. Not least because he's holding his hand to his chest.

It may be that my mind hasn't been fully on the evidence for the whole of the time of each day.

Roussette · 13/05/2014 11:11

Yes, Nel definitely has something!

Are you referring to his legal argument at this current time, or his gruff sexuality?

Roussette · 13/05/2014 11:14

Looking gruff sexuality especially when he puts his leg up on the chair lol

OP posts:
LookingThroughTheFog · 13/05/2014 11:15

'The court has the right to know what the defence is.'

Yep. Love Nel.

AnyaKnowIt · 13/05/2014 11:16

Gruff sexuality? Shock

RoadKillBunny · 13/05/2014 11:19

Looking, I have the same alarm re bias and the luff for Mr Nel!
Yes there is a gruff sexuality, he glasses chewing before he asks a cleaver question and his leg up on the chair as he goes in for the kill. I mainly luff him for his shrewd intellect. I luff people who I can have a great debate with!

LookingThroughTheFog · 13/05/2014 11:19

Yes, yes, it's his intellect that I'm attracted to too.

RoadKillBunny · 13/05/2014 11:22

The amount of research that must have been done to put together this referral makes me see that nobody in team Nel got much if any sleep last night!
