The fact that the hang-Oscar militia has to accept that he was on his stumps in the bathroom when he killed Reeva drives them into an absolute fuming frenzy. It all fits so nicely when he can be on his tirade without being on those damn stumps.

A six-pack ribbed super athlete with a temper that has been shown in public just went zongo and snapped. He would have easily had her frightened into feeling a need to retreat or find safety with his macho muscled physique and on-demand temper, but instead he has to considered as having the mobility of an amputee scuttling along on bowling pins.
Prosecution, how can you have it so wrong?

Well that's the way it is militia, that's the way it was and that's why you have it so wrong. The prosecution knows it after having been shamed into the facts that proved it and the sooner you fiction affectionados accept it, the better it will be for your blood pressure. It was not a raging Oscar, it was a
vulnerable Oscar to any able bodied person who wanted to exploit it, including Reeva. That's the fact. The only way Reeva would have had to resort to going to the absurd refuge of a toilet due to a fear of him is if Oscar was anatomically normal and
REEVA was the one on stumps. Then you might have had a scenario where the logic would have some reasonable merit worthy of consideration.
You can conjure up all the domestic violence whacked out theories you want and the ability for a man to spontaneously com-bust in violence against a woman for no reason or without any previous history of having done it, but you can't get around the factors of physics in this extraordinarily unique case. This is why the prosecution and your Pied Piper hero leading it-- trying to patch together this case of cow pies-- is floundering and resorting to ignoring witnesses who were told they would be called, twisting and contorting words of the defendant, hanging their hopes on witnesses who couldn't possibly have heard what they thought they heard and even attempting to make 4 texts showing a typical boyfriend-girlfriend spat counterbalance 1,700 which showed they were head over heels for each other. It may fly in a fiction novel but not in a real-world scenario where this is enough to send someone to prison for 25 years to life.
Oscar sends this text to Reeva:
"Thank you for being the most beautiful person to me. I'm crazy about you and when I look at you I smile inside."
Then after Reeva had walked out of a photo shoot, he asked if she wanted to come to his house. When she arrived she found sprinkled roses on the floor and chocolates and a heart waiting on the bed for her.
THERE and
THATis the real world reality of the relationship between Oscar and Reeva.
No matter how much logic is advanced on these message boards that show guilt is not only far from being proven, it flies blatantly in the face of true unbiased examination of known pertinent facts. I can assure anyone, for every reason you could give me that you are sure he murdered her, I can give you
five that will make you look foolish.
I believe you can take it to the bank that there are visuals that are riveted in the minds and memories of Judge Masipa and her assessors and are greatly going to influence their deliberations and verdict:
1. When he took off his stumps and stood precariously by the door
2. When he simulated the kick to the mark the prosecution didn't believe was possible.
3. When he simulated striking the door in a pattern quickly enough to replicate the 3 bangs. [

This was already evident to me when Judge Masipa was giving her order for the mental evaluation and repeating several times possible reasons that he may not be criminally responsible. She almost paraphrased and highlighted every element of Oscar's case. She may have had many defendants before her that were accused of murder but NONE had the elements of OP's physical limitation combined with his indisputable hyper vigilance backed by witness testimony. I predict these mitigating factors are going to be huge.
I don't have the slightest doubt that Nel was counting on the fact that Masipa would follow normal precedent after granting the mental observation referral and would commit Oscar to being a ward of the State as a "prisoner" in very unpleasant confinement while awaiting the availability of a bed and a mental eval team. He put all his chips on that likelihood that Oscar would spend up to a couple years and was gobsmacked when Judge Masipa wanted him as an outpatient. Of course he could never let be that known but there is no question in my mind that he was sleazy enough knowing the fate of his case was heading right into the toilet. How fortuitous that Ms Masipa was sitting on the bench and took the heat for thwarting that gutter level prick.
For those of us who aren't into the trumped up wholesale fantasy of Reeva being a deliberate murder victim, here a couple additional subliminal goodies that you might find interesting...
It would be unusual for Reeva to go to the toilet at 3 AM? Oh really? And listen also to what she said she didn't do....just again, coincidentally a giant issue in this case.

Another word..."onto" that Nel almost went orgasmic over and turned it into a "gotcha" mistake. But isn't it incredible that he uses it here which is not grammatically correct in its form as used at all.
