This guy is taking time off from the Keystone Cops right?
No, can't be, shirley?
Pic won't load for me - anyone care to explain what it is/was?
Screenshot of FB where Roger Dixon is malligning the mauling he's getting in court. I'm not convinced that this is genuine however.

Rumours that lip-reader claims OP mouthed "refund" to Barry Roux regarding this witness.

Hah!

But I have my doubts - how likely is it a man who has no use for a TV, a radio, or newspapers in his house would be using Facebook?

There have been times when Dixon has been bumbling most that you can see OP with his head in his hands or face-palming in the background - and not even during the grisly details.

My only real disappointment at the end of Dixon's extraordinary evidence is that he wasn't the person who apparently determined that Oscar screams like a big girl.

Oh my very dear.

Sky journalist just reporting that at the same time as Dixon was telling the court that he didn't have a TV or radio, journalists were looking him up and finding that he did indeed have both a Facebook and a twitter account and that he had made comments about the trial and retweeted stuff too. Come the teabreak he was then apparently deluged with journalists all wanting him to confirm that they were his accounts, while the defence tried to stop him speaking to them.

You could not make this stuff up. He is the gift that keeps on giving.

If it wasn't all so serious the Benny Hill chase tune would be playing.

Any truth in the rumour that the next witness is a florist? Being called as an "expert" on Valentines Day.

No wonder poor old Oscar keeps throwing up... he knows he might as well have appointed Groucho Marx in his defence. smile

My word, he is well connected if he can get help from the royal family.

Well they're song and dance royalty certainly. Equally, he could probably have called Lionel Blair, Morecambe and Wise or Prince Edward.

I'm a firearms dealer, run two shooting clubs and I employ ex-police tactical firearms instructors. I've been involved with firearms in one way or another for over 25 years.

Belive me - no one teaches anyone to shoot at anything from the hip. This is why firearms are fited with sights, after all.

Turns out Dixon confirmed to the South Africa correspondant for the Telegraph that those accounts WERE genuine. He had been retweeting comments about the trial before he gave evidence, too.

Here's a tweet from Dixon from some while ago
Roger Dixon in his famous last words said:
Roger Dixon@SunsetClivia · 14 Dec 2012
Can you please recommend my skills? Thank you!
I think on this occasion it's going to have to be a ''No'', Roger. Sorry about that

''Top pathologist hired by Oscar won't testify, report''

report says said:
Pretoria - 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.

Perumal has appeared in many high-profile cases in South Africa, where a private pathologist can cost upwards of R20 000 a day.

He was hired by Pistorius in time to attend the model's autopsy.

When asked if he would testify, the Durban-based pathologist told AFP "no, ma'am".

Happy Easter, Oscar......

Don't want to side track the thread with all this but Google Victor Marx.

Let's pretend OP is holding out his firearm aiming down the sights, all tactical-like because he's been on AJL's course. I'm by OP's side with my pistol my way. We turn the corner into the bathroom area and walk into Victor who's stopped by for a piss. Who's going to get disarmed and who's going to teach Victor not to drop by other people's toilets in the middle of the night?

There's clearing a room and there's clearing a room.

Uncle Tom demonstrates for us nicely here.
