He's claimed the ammunition held illegally in his safe was his fathers (who he also said he doesn't communicate with).

Strangely his father has refused to make a statement to state the same.

His credibility has been destroyed today, but he's stayed rock solid on the key facts of the night.

True. Except the facts in his version of events don't add up.
Everyone seems to think not guilty is coming. His defence is literally unbelievable.

Nice pay off to the judge is it?

Shouldn't he at least be done for manslaughter?

I wonder if he will end up car jacked and shot? I know if somebody had shot my daughter and walked free he would probably have an accident.

Adjourned til Monday. Their court times seem a bit odd - finishing at 2pm?!

No question that he is culpable for manslaughter seeing as he readily admitted to firing the gun 4 times through the door. I'd be very surprised if he escapes any sentence.

How a man even in that position can act consistently all the way through like a little baby, it's nauseating to listen too.

Compare that to his actual voice in this BBC interview from a years back. There's definitely a difference, because even when he's answering questions calmly in court he has a whine to his voice that a clearly not there in that clip.

Reeva's sister has argued that they shouldn't keep having these adjournments whenever OP gets emotional because "surely that's the best time for the prosecution to do their work". Which I kind of agree with.

He's more guilty than John McGuilty of Guilty Town, Guiltyshire! If he walks away from this....... oh wait, he can't can he? :thinking about:

I don't know how Mrs. Steenkamp manages to sit through this. I can barely take a few minutes of his insincere, feeble wheedling.

wingy · Apr 15, 2014

so telling that he can't maintain any eye contact ,with the Camera and the prosecution Barrister .

Houchens Head · Apr 15, 2014

I don't get why they won't show him giving evidence. He's shown throughout the rest of the proceedings. What's the difference? We should be allowed if this is the future of televised court proceedings.

After all his ridiculous defence, people still think he's gonna get off. Is it just cynicism?
I guess time will tell.

We are used to seeing celeb trials and they tend to go their way -- OJ, Michael Jackson -- this is a judge not a jury and I am not sure what the public feeling is for him. Either way his career is finished -- sponsors wouldn't touch him now.

So if he gets found not guilty.......he is still guilty and it was a fix?
hope you lot aren't together on jury duty ha ha !!

Dixon referred to the forensic report without reading the full report according to Nel who has pointed out parts of the document that Dixon is not familiar with.

Nel - "You are trying to be an expert in an area that you are not"

I always like the give people the benefit of the doubt to start off with without judging, however it isn't looking good for him is it?

Does anyone else find it seriously hard to take the South African accent seriously? I can't help but take the piss!

SlowerThanPlatt · Apr 16, 2014

There's a complex analysis of 'proof' and 'reasonable doubt' in the context of the trial here.

Worth reading if you want to understand the context and process better.

Dixon being carefully dismantled this morning. Some of this is almost comical. Especially with regard to the photos allegedly showing that the neighbour couldn't have seen OP at window. Nel making Dixon look like a fool.

It is more or less impossible to have 100% proof of something. With all these things an acceptably low level of error or uncertainty is the best you can expect.
