The Oscar Pistorius case continues to captivate the nation as we approach the end of the first week we’ve brought in one of South Africa’s most influential socialites to give us her view on the matter. She’s a radio personality, an avid Twitter freak and a lady with as much opinion as she has brains (Plenty, in both instances!) She is: The girl with the last word.

By day 3 of the Oscar Pistorius Trial I had observed moments that were otherwise peculiar. Some of the testimonies really stood out for me but not necessarily because of the facts that were brought to the table.

For the first time since the Oscar Pistorius Trial began, we saw a witness on screen this week.  Mr. Kevin Lerena didn’t object to his being filmed during his testimony. Kevin told the North Gauteng High Court about the incident when Oscar Pistorius fired a shot accidentally underneath a table at the Tasha’s in Melrose Arch.

He testified that it was passed underneath the table to Oscar who then he cocked it and that’s when the gun went off. He also revealed Oscar was quite shocked and very apologetic about the incident.

The one thing that everyone found interesting was that Oscar didn’t want anyone to know it was him and his gun! So, he suggested that his other friend Darren take the blame for him.

Kevin had a look of superstardom about himself. He was camera ready, sharply dressed and even slightly charming; maybe that is the confidence you get when you are a boxer. He could easily double as a model if he wanted to (Because who really wants to punch a face like that?) And his name is already fit enough to be a stage name!

Back to the actual trial though; the other testimony that caught the eye was that of Michelle Burger (1^st witness) a neighbour  who said she woke up because of blood curdling screams coming from SilverWoods Estate.

She heard a woman screaming for help then a man shouting for help 3 times. Shots were fired then there was a fading scream.

The most talked about man this week, Adv. Barry Roux said that the door being bashed by the cricket bat could be mistaken for a gunshot and that Oscar screams like a “Girl” when anxious. Erm.

A GIRL!!!!

Honestly, I strongly believe that we must investigate what juice is given to our runners because Oscar “screams like a woman” and Caster speaks like a man- There has to be some kind of connection.

But the case has been interesting and tense, it can definitely go either way. So far we know:

1.     Oscar did shoot his girlfriend, Reeva. What we need to establish is why he shot her.

2.     Neighbours maintain they heard squabbling/quarrelling; some say screams for help from that house before shots were fired.

3.     The gun did go off at Tasha’s Melrose Arch while Oscar was handling it but Darren, his friend covered for him.

Watch this space and we’ll be back next week with another recap from The Girl With the Last Word.
