As we head towards Season 2 of the Oscar Pistorius trial (starts May 5), a blogger’s interpretation of the timeline presented by Oscar Pistorius is being passed around. Here it is..

Quietly enjoy the Daily Maverick completely ripping to pieces Oscar Pistorius’ claims under oath, about that boating accident he had on ‘the Vaal.’
When Jani Allen alleged that murder-accused, Oscar Pistorius had taken acting classes before taking the stand in his defence, our interest piqued. When Oscar’s family denied the allegation, we believed them. It’s irrelevant whether Oscar took acting classes, or not. I mean, Brad Pitt never did. It turns out that loads of actors never did.

Oscar Pistorius read in court the Valentine’s Day card that Reeva Steenkamp gave to him before he shot her to death, containing the message “I think today is a good day to tell you that I love you.”
Gerrie Nel has been hammering away at Pistorius for days now, and talks are that Nel’s grilling may continue for the rest of the day.
