No problem -- I appreciate Teacher researching some of the television protocols and you and others posting articles and testimony snippets.
I'm following the trial as much as I can anyway -- really interesting to watch/hear and then read the comments here.
I wish that I felt this was a slam-dunk "guilty as charged" verdict. But, I'm worried that Pistorius may only be convicted of the lesser "culpable homicide" -- if he and the defense team can put enough doubt around the reported female screaming and there's nothing in the phone records to indicate the couple was fighting before Reeva was shot to death.
