#OscarTrial defense Roux finds hole in van Rensburg statement: Hilton Botha seems NOT to have been with him when he followed blood trail

#OscarPistorius Van rensburg disagrees, insists that Botha went upstairs with him. BB

#OscarPistorius Roux your first statement is correct, you went upstairs, to you and Botha. BB

by Barry Bateman via twitter 3/14/2014 10:22:29 AM

Van Rensburg: "That's not what happened. When he arrived, he and I went up together." #Pistorius

by David Smith via twitter 3/14/2014 10:22:22 AM

VRensburg testified that #OscarPistorius was in kitchen when he went upstairs. Only taken to garage later - when Botha says he arrives.

"Where's Hilton Botha", asks Roux. I'll tell you where: watching under a duvet from his couch while biting down hard on his fist #Pistorius

Roux: "When Mr Botha arrived, Mr #Pistorius was in the garage. That means only one thing." You went upstairs the first time without Botha.

by David Smith via twitter 3/14/2014 10:21:36 AM

#OscarPistorius Roux let me help you… you (alone) went upstairs, following the blood spatter, and came back down. BB

Roux says defence has copy of Botha statement - in which he says #OscarPistorius was in garage when he arrived @eNCAnews

by Karyn Maughan via twitter 3/14/2014 10:21:07 AM

#OscarPistorius Roux in your statement, who does it say went upstairs?
Van Rensburg says he and Botha went up. BB

by Barry Bateman via twitter 3/14/2014 10:20:19 AM

Roux: Where is Hilton Botha in your statement? Van Rensburg: Sometimes you write "I" meaning he was with. Roux: It's nowhere. #Pistorius

Roux quizzes VRensburg about why he failed to say that Hilton Botha was with him when he went upstairs. @eNCAnews #OscarTrial

by Karyn Maughan via twitter 3/14/2014 10:19:56 AM

Roux returns to the allegation that this witness is trying to "take the place" of Botha. He is trying to find inconsistencies.

by Rohit Kachroo via twitter 3/14/2014 10:19:55 AM

#OscarPistorius Roux remember at the beginning I said you were testifying to avoid the need to call Botha… BB

by Barry Bateman via twitter 3/14/2014 10:19:18 AM

#OscarPistorius When Roux looks at you, leans back and takes his glasses off- be very worried

by Kim Norgaard via twitter 3/14/2014 10:18:46 AM

Roux: You remember I said at the beginning you're trying to take the place of Hilton Botha to make him an unnecessary witness? #Pistorius
