Roux asks about the person he saw walking from his balcony on the night. #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Roux: the first shots you heard was it like a volley of boom boom boom. Stipp: it was on top of each other. #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Stipp says he saw the lights were on when he heard the screaming. Using that as a time of reference #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014

— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Roux says it is not possible to make out if it's a man or woman through bathroom window. #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Roux is questioning how Stipp saw a person through the frosted bathroom window #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Stipp said Oscar look sincere and was trying to help her, with his one hand on her groin wound and the other opening her airway #OscarTrial
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Stipp says he was crying, praying to God? Pleading to God to let her live, actively trying to assist her. #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Roux now goes back to the emotional state Oscar was in when Stipp saw him. #oscartrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Roux tries to get Stipp to concede that he may have misheard and that it was Oscar's voice he heard albeit in a high pitch #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
On Oscar's version Roux says the doctor woke up from the shots fired. And there fore the screams could not have be the deceased #OscarTrial
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Roux: to you it sounded like a woman and a man respectively #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Stipp said the voices he heard sounded different #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Roux now puts it to Stipp on the version of Oscar. And puts emphasis on that it is Oscar's version #OscarTrial – ^AM

Nel says there were two sets of noises but the second was the shots that killed Reeva and she screamed before then. #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
The debate about the number of shots and sets of noises. Roux says the state can't say there was two sets of shots #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
The State argues that shots at 3:17 did kill Reeva. But that she screamed before that. #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Both defence and state are going at each other about what can and cannot be put to witness as fact. #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Nel: it is the state's case that the deceased did scream. #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Roux puts it to Stipp that the first shot killed Reeva is a fact. Where the state's case will argue the opposite #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Nel objects saying Roux can't put it as a fact that the first shot killed Reeva. It could be their version but not a fact #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Stipp says it is curious though as he heard a women screaming and a man's voice which were interlinked. #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
And Roux puts it to Stipp, the screams he heard was that of Oscar in a high pitch. #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
It is medically impossible for the deceased to have screamed. Stipp said it sounded like a woman to him #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Nel objects saying that this is the accused's version and there are others. #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
The screams Stipp heard could have therefore not been deceased. And must have been someone else says Roux. #OscarTrial – ^AM
— The_Citizen_Reporter (@CitiReporter) March 6, 2014
Roux says after those shots and those injuries, a person would not be able to shout or make a noise #OscarTrial – ^AM
