The UnderWhelming

Roux continues leading Wolmarans' evidence before handing over to Nel for cross examination. 

Nel asks for adjournment so State can set up replica of OP's toilet complete with bullet riddled door.

Mangena's laser gadgets are set up and Nel invites judge and assessors to walk down and inspect it. Let the cross examination begin! 

For all the hype around Wolmarans, we're completely underwhelmed by his performance.

He seems to have frequent 'memory lapses', claims to have no files of reports and comes across as dodgy and evasive. This is embarrassing! 

We learn that his evidence has been disallowed in another case and at one point he gets so worked up we think he's going to come down and punch Nel. 

As expected Nel goes for the jugular and shows the evidence as being suspect and tailored. Roux looks like he'd like to hide under a chair. Even judge Masipa's not looking too impressed with the frequent 'memory lapses'. 

Several times Wolmarans contradicts Dixon's evidence and declares he'd never take Dixon's advice as Dixon not a ballistic expert. Nel pounces and asks why then the court should accept Dixon's advice if he thinks so little of it?

The rest of the day was spent with Wolmarans ducking and diving but Nel's clearly not going to let him off easily.
