Before the break:

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.

Euphemism, right?

😐

Probably her most incisive comment yet.

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

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

Here we go again:

It’s ok, Mrs Annette Stipp, your secret is safe with Karyn Maughan.

 

And then got back in their time machine and went home.

 

Well, maybe I suppose, but generally, I make mine in the kitchen.

 

Hmm. Why would a murder suspect need TWO pens?
And will his clumsiness be his downfall?

And then a quick reminder that this whole thing is nothing more than a media circus:

Won’t someone PLEASE think of the journalists?

 

Those are the only two we’ve got left.
 

BREAKING NEWS! Hanky still white (maybe washed since day one?)

Juvenile sniggering at bowl/bowel error:

Cue Sky News Exclusive: WAS OSCAR ON DRUGS?

And then there was adjournment, because for the prosecution, the long weekend simply wasn’t long enough.

Day 10, and the tension is mounting. Not least amongst the press peeps:


 


These murder trials are so irritating in that way, hey? We should just toss a coin.

Meanwhile – PROSECUTE ALL THE THINGS!


Or cars. Or radio-controlled planes. Or iPhones. Or shoes (or is that sexist?).


Like schoolkids in a maths lesson.

I case you were wondering where Mum was over the lunch break:


I know, you’ve been at it for 5 and a half hours. (If you forget the the tea break) (and the adjournments) (and lunch).
IT MUST BE HELL!

Real culprit named

Not much time to blog today, but I did catch this and thought I should share.

It turns out that – perhaps unsurprisingly, given their apparent monumental incompetence – the SAPS picked up the wrong guy when they arrested Oscar Pistorius. It wasn’t his fault.

Much like wrong-doing South African sportsmen before him, “it was the Devil what made him do it”, according to a local pastor, anyway.

“Oscar did not kill her [Steenkamp], Satan made him do it. I pray to God to help him,” reverend Isaac Malaza said.

This is the latest in a very long line of naughty things which Satan has made people do, and quite frankly, I think he should be brought in to face some questioning now. It does all appear to be circumstantial evidence pointing in his direction, but there’s no smoke without the Eternal Fires of Hades.

However, not only does Isaac come to the party with this radical new accusation, he also comes with reassurance:

“I came today to pray for Oscar. He shouldn’t do something like this again that breaks the hearts of his family.”

Which is, and I think I speak for all of us here in saying this, probably a really good idea.

But wait, there’s more – Isaac has this astounding insight for us as well:

He said Steenkamp’s parents and family were also left heartbroken.

Who knew? Maybe there’s something in this whole religion thing after all. I would have never guessed that this was the case were it not for the keen mind of Isaac Malaza and the ace reporting skills of the South African Press Association.

Thanks for the heads up, guys.
