PistoriusBalls 9

Day 10, and the tension is mounting. Not least amongst the press peeps:

Some jerk tells me I can’t sit where I like in #Pistorius court bc the empty row is “reserved” for news agencies that aren’t here yet.

Welcome to #OscarPistorius day 10: now with twice the inconsequential detail to lose yourself in.

These murder trials are so irritating in that way, hey? We should just toss a coin.

Meanwhile – PROSECUTE ALL THE THINGS!

Rens says #OscarPistorius asked him to help prosecute a Smith and Wesson 500 revolver for him. @eNCAnews

I genuinely do not understand how anyone can have a “great love for guns”, as witness says of #Pistorius.

Or cars. Or radio-controlled planes. Or iPhones. Or shoes (or is that sexist?).

Tea break! Whispers of “yessss” from the press bench. And it’s only Monday….

Like schoolkids in a maths lesson.

I case you were wondering where Mum was over the lunch break:

#OscarPistorius Reeva’s mother June Steenkamp spent lunch eating out at the tented cafe which has sprung up next to the media ‘village’

I know, you’ve been at it for 5 and a half hours. (If you forget the the tea break) (and the adjournments) (and lunch).
IT MUST BE HELL!
