PistoriusBalls 12

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!

A serious point for a moment. Regular readers will have noticed that there was no PistoriusBalls yesterday. That’s simply because there was a dearth of suitable material. It does seem that when the “professional witnesses” are in court, the journos present have facts to report, rather than opinion. And that gives them very little opportunity to add their personal touch to things. Which is good, because I don’t really want their personal touch, but it’s a double-edged sword when you’re trying to collate a PistoriousBalls post.

Anyway, we’ve salvaged some stuff for you.

 

 


Now he’s blurred (more of that later).

 

Bdum-tish!

Meanwhile, Andrew Harding (he of “We’ve just had an adjounment, now I need a coffee” fame, falls into the old “We’ve just had an adjournment, now I need some biscuits” trap:

 


Welcome to Gauteng.

 


Every bit as professional as the Boschkop SAPS.
