Does Pistorius Deserve An Oscar Nomination For His Performance In Court Yesterday?

[sandyRoe]

Listening to him brought to mind this, 'Sincerity is everything. If you can fake that you've got it made.'

^^^

You seem to infer that we believe him to be guilty of murder because of his disability!! I think he's guilty because his story just not add up - no matter how afraid he says he was. I also believe that his tears are genuine - perhaps he really did love her and regrets what he did. Doesn't mean he's not guilty.

[nannybooby]

Ken did not mean we believe him guilty because he 's disabled , I was commenting on his behaviour both in and out of court.

court finished for today.................no matter what question OP is asked he continues to give a very long possible rehearsed reply. very frustrating for the prosecutor,

[sandyRoe]

It's very dangerous to start engaging in a verbal duel with the prosecuting QC. You could easily shoot yourself in the foot.

[anneasquith]

sandy,,,,,naughty!...........did you watch it live ?compulsive viewing IMO

[murraymints]

Crocodile tears !!! No sincerity in him...diva hoping he can fool everyone....I'd toss the key away !!

[anneasquith]

no tears or tantrums today....but if I were on trial for anything, the last person id like prosecuting me is nel. he was relentless in his questioning today !

[Peter Pedant]

well he was taking the view that he didnt mean to kill....

what really ? surely some mistake ? did I hear right ?

so he has his work cut out....

one of the commentators said it was like watching the clubbing of a baby seal

[ladybirder]

Well whoever said that is wrong IMO. He's not helpless like a baby seal. He's a controlling unpleasant piece of work as far as I can make out. Gerrie Nel is brilliant.

[anneasquith]

finished early today 12md..............only one short break for emotional OC...........Nel at his best or worse, depending how you look at it.
