I once did a project for almost 15 days and then I simply had to give up, so fair play to the journalists sitting in the courtroom for a few hours each day and being paid to tell people about it. Sterkte.

Kenny Oldwage offers an olive branch to the prosecution’s Andrea Johnson in the form of some of his lunchtime banana. Sweet. — Aislinn Laing (@Simmoa) March 25, 2014

Judge confirms postponement. A fog of anticlimax settles over courtroom D.. #OscarPistorius

That’s a rather thick anticlimax. Much worse than a mist of disappointment or a haze of letdown.

#OscarPistorius walks to side door of the courtroom, jaw twitching, very red, looks broken. Pauses at toilet door to let Reeva’s mum pass

To be fair, I think he could have chosen just about anywhere better than to meet her than there. Amirite?
