Oscar Pistorius, das Model, der Valentinstag und das war dann Notwehr

Evidence1 schrieb:"I have heard that it might be because he refused to amend his version," said Steve Naidoo, a Durban-based private forensic pathologist. "If so, and if Dr Perumal is not willing to twist the truth, then it's to his tremendous credit."

Der Mann hat Charakter!

Mauberzaus schrieb:Man kann selbst von den ausgewiesenen Experten der Verteidigung nicht unbedingt verlangen, dass sie sich auf ihr Fachgebiet stützen und dabei gleichzeitig die geänderte Story von Pistorius immer im Hinterkopf halten.

Luminarah schrieb:“That is my version, milady,” Dixon replied. “If Mr. Pistorius’ version is different, that is his version.”
“But you’re his witness,” an incredulous Nel replied.

Ahnungslose schrieb: Das war wirklich markant zu sehen, dass Dixon mit den letzten Aussagen von Pistorius nicht auf dem Laufenden war.

“the value of an expert is not to espouse and further the cause of a particular
party, but to assist the Court in coming to a proper decision on technical and
scientific matters. It should therefore at all times be remembered that an expert is
primarily there to assist the Court and not necessarily to further the cause of his
particular client to such an extent that he loses objectivity and in fact undermines
his client’s case.”26

The all South African forensic team includes forensic geologist Roger Dixon, private forensic pathologist Reggie Perumal, and gun experts Thomas Wolmarans and Jannie van der Westhuizen.

Pistorius has also hired The Evidence Room, an American forensic animation firm based in Cleveland, Ohio, to digitally recreate the crime scene using computer animation, a craft popularized in movies such as Toy Story and Shrek.
“It’s basically a virtual environment, it’s just such a great way of explaining things,” says Brian Brill, manager at Mountain Graphix, a forensic animation firm in Dillon, Colorado.

“I am hoping that it does not turn out to be a case of duelling experts. But all too often this is what happens.”
“You have the state expert who says categorically black, you have go the defence expert who says categorically white. It ends up as often highly technical duel.”
“What often happens unfortunately is the judge ends up weighing experts rather than experts’ testimony.”

- A star pathologist hired by Oscar Pistorius told AFP on Thursday he will not testify at the athlete's murder trial, another blow for his defence after a week of savage cross-examination.

Private forensic pathologist Reggie Perumal - who joined Pistorius's hand-picked team soon after Reeva Steenkamp was killed on Valentine's Day morning 2013 - will not take the stand, amid suggestions his post-mortem findings support key parts of the prosecution's case.

So sollte es zumindest sein........bis auf Vermeulen haben dies ja auch alle ganz gut hinbekommen, deshalb kann es durchaus vorkommen, dass ein Experte Schlüsse zieht, die für oder gegen die jeweilige Version der betreffenden Seite sprechen.......es dient aber dazu, dem Gericht zu helfen
