Caught her in a barefaced LIE!!!


Zoomed in on hand holding curtain... got her to confess it is her hand (she agrees)

She was ADAMANT that she was not there for photos... and did not know why they would hold back curtain

12:14 pm
Nel asks Ms Stipp about the time lapse between when she heard the shots and when she heard the woman screaming.

She said it was "almost simultaneously".

With that she stands down.

12:11 pm
That's the end of Oldwadge's cross examination.

Gerrie Nel now back up and looking at photos with the witness.

He is trying to establish with Ms Stipp that she could see Pistorius' bathroom while she was lying in bed.

She did not have to get up.

12:08 pm
She admits she held the curtain for "this" photo.

This goes against her earlier evidence when she said she wasn't in the room.

Ms Stipp says she doesn't remember being there when the photos were taken.

12:06 pm
Oldwadge is asking Ms Stipp about the timing when she gave her statement and also when the photo was taken of the view from her window.

He now asks to see Ms Stipp's bracelet.

He then zooms in to the hand holding the curtain open.

There's no doubt about it - it is Ms Stipp's hand.

12:02 pm
We're back underway.

Oldwage will get one more try at unpicking Ms Stipp's evidence.

Cell phone dude

Police officer Captain Moller

12:30 pm
Moller is explaining how he extracted data from Pistorius' phone.

He also performed a 'jail break' on the phone which allowed him to reveal deleted information.

He said the full report would have ran to more than 35,000 pages.

Fortunately, we're not going to go through all of that.

12:27 pm
Moller establishes that Pistorius had two phones.

He thinks this is because he upgraded from a BlackBerry to an iPhone.

12:23 pm
Moller is talking about the technical devices seized from Pistorius' house.

They included two iPhones, two BlackBerries and two iPads.

He says he had to establish which phone belonged to Reeva and which to Pistorius.

The state is trying to prove and argument between the two on the night of the shooting.

12:42 pm
The rest of the message reads: "I can't afford for that to come out. The guys promised not to say a thing."

It was a WhatsApp message.

Reeva replied "I don't know what you're talking about "

"But thank you for telling me, I appreciate it."

12:40 pm
One of the messages from Pistorius said this.

"Angel please don't say a thing to any one, Darren told everyone it was his fault..."

It was received on 11 Jan 2013.

12:37 pm
In this instance, we're looking at Reeva's phone.

Now we're looking at messages on her phone.

12:36 pm
Captain Moller explains to the court what an IMEI number on an iPhone is.

Essentially, it's a serial number which identifies the phone.

No two devices have the same one.

12:32 pm
Captain Moller is now going to take us through data extracted from the phone which is "relevant" to the case.

Page One is a summary of what he found.

Feels like we're moving towards something really significant here.

This tedious..... I assume we are going to get to something important?

For me this dude and Nel come across as grubby little men looking at private messages... which are trivial as messages are when you look back on them.

The guy admits these tiffs are the exception... 90% of messages are "loving"

I do think that this is grubby... it proves little..... I think messages taken out of the context of the entire history of messages shows little.

We await the start of today's first session, Day 15.

IF Nel is a man of his word then today’s early tea break could be the last before he announces that the State rests?

"Early this week" should mean he has finished by Tuesday (Today) in my mind. Wednesday is NOT "early in the week" It is "mid-week"

7:54 am
Reeva made a phone call at 5.44pm on the 13th to Pistorius.

It lasted for two minutes 24 seconds but it was picked up by a different tower suggesting she had moved.

Following that phone call there are connections with the internet.

7:53 am
The next call was at 3.24pm from Pistorius to Reeva. That lasted for just under two minutes.

Again she was near the Silver Lakes 3G tower when the call was received.

Following that, also on the 13th at 5.12pm, there was another call from Pistorius that lasted for 63 seconds.

7:50 am
Reeva and Oscar spoke for four minutes and one second at 1.02pm on February 13th - the day before she was killed.

Their conversation was captured on a mobile phone tower just outside the estate where Pistorius lived.

7:48 am
The court is shown a chart with a timeline analysis of Reeva's phone.

It reveals the different mobile phone towers that were being used.

The data shows that messages were sent via the internet.

7:44 am
They are talking about the movements tracked through the phone.

Moller said the closest tower used will be shown on detailed billing records.

With WhatsApp, however, it is slightly different.

At 4.09am he called "Peet" who returned his call within a minute.

He received text messages and voice calls throughout the morning of February 14.

But the phone was switched off.

8:11 am
At 3.55am he called best friend Justin Divaris. The call lasted one minute and three seconds.

There was more internet activity.

At 4.01am there was a 34 second call to Heinrich Pistorius.

8:10 am
At 3.21am he made a voice call to estate security.

A short time later a seven-second call was made to his voicemail.

Then there was an incoming call at 3.22am from security.

8:08 am
At 3.20am Pistorius made a phone call to the ambulance services which lasted for 66 seconds.
8:07 am

The first call on February 14 - the day Reeva died - was at 1.48am which is when his phone connected to the internet.

At 3.18am, just after the shooting, there was a 75-second internet connection from his phone.

The first voice call was at 3.19am.

8:03 am
Now looking at Pistorius' phones, he was in Midrand to start with before moving towards Silverlakes.

He had no voice calls but had five connections to the internet.

Reeva was on her own at Oscar's house on February 13, which explains why her connections were from Silverlakes.

8:00 am
Reeva used Whatsapp regularly, explaining her long connection to the internet.
