Könnt ihr euch hier im Strang an das Video erinnern, wo Roux so aufgeregt war, weil er bevor Dr. Vorster den Zeugenstand betrat nicht mehr mit ihr sprechen konnte?
Sie kam ja zu einer anderen Türe rein.
Merkwürdigerweise gibt es dieses Video nicht mehr.
Exactly. Love the fact that we can all connect to get to the bottom of this. Interestingly there was a VERY telling video on youtube of the day Dr. Voster testified showing the utter anger of Roux when he couldn't talk to her before she got on the stand (she went into court using a different door). Before Dr. Foster took the stand for Oscar's team, Roux was clearly wanting to talk to her before she took the stand (to possibly guide her) - he sends both Brian Webber and Roxanne Adams to go and find Dr. Foster, but then Dr Foster comes in the OTHER SIDE OF THE COURT. You can see Roux tries to get an adjournment, judge Masipa says no, that someone has arrived. Roux then turns to Roxanne Adams who has returned to sit behind Roux, and asks her: "Did he get to talk to her?" She looks like a deer in headlights: she says: "Not Yet." Roux then freaks out at her and she says defensively: "She went round the other side!" Then Brian Webber returns (having not completed his assigned task of chatting to Dr. Foster). Roux lays into them both further and the whole team looks... well..... TOAST.
The rest as we know is history. In a weird turn of events, it is no longer viewable at the link:

"Hi There
My take: the defense screwed up. They expected this to be another avenue or grasp at a last straw, Roux tried to downplay it - but it was too late and 'blood was in the water' for Nel to then run with it.

It's important for OP to be assessed, so that the Prosecution can shut down that avenue for a possible appeal after the verdict. In my opinion, OP will not be able to hide the fact that he is an egotist and pathological liar. This is a good thing - as if it is ruled that he is in full faculty of his senses, and was so on that night, then there is no leeway later on. Furthermore, Judge Masipa has to be vigilant to give him a FAIR trial (hence she stated that she would like outpatient status) BUT it's the State's decision - if they want him to be at in institution for the duration, they may ask for it. Also out patient only means he sleeps elsewhere - he still would have to be in assessment from 7am - 7pm. Plus the prosecution, the court itself and the defense elect their own psychiatrists. In my view this whole thing of GAD is nonsense. I have been diagnosed with GAD - I was in an armed robbery and tried to run 3 times! I dare anyone to find a GAD sufferer who runs towards a danger. This whole ploy by the defense backfired, now it's purely procedure, then back on track for the trial. Interestingly, Mr. Dewani is also here under observation for his wife Annie's murder, so one way or another, hoping a message gets through to the men out there that South Africa is not a place to kill your women.
Also, a full evaluation will look back into all his past history - the psychiatrists can call ANYONE they see fit for an interview - including Reeva's friends that could not testify due to character witness limitations. I think the psychologists could really open Pandora's Box - and list characteristics that would have the world seeing him in a new light - he's manipulative and self-serving etc. So the defense didn't want this at all.
Consensus:
Most people don't buy the GAD theory - and most are worried that due to the high amount of people on the waiting list for evaluation that OP will not get evaluated properly (the court will not stand for someone else being bumped off to give OP a spot.) Here in SA many lawyers and people in the know have posted that this is common procedure and once mental state comes into mind it has to run it's due course through evaluation... as Nel pointed out, the mere statement of "I can't remember" (at the point of the actual killing) has to be investigated (he made reference in court to past cases).
