I'm also looking forward to seeing the evidence and listening to the witnesses.
I'm anxious to hear all of the evidence as well.
Really curious to find out whether US Apple experts were able to extract Pistorius' password-locked iPhone activity this week and what, if any, picture it paints of the goings-on between the couple prior to the shooting. If the lead detective and the phone experts left the US empty handed right on the heels of the trial, I think it's a big blow to the prosecution's case. Actually, even if they were able to retrieve the data, it's a big blow for the prosecution if it doesn't include anything incriminating other than Pistorius surfing graphic porn sites, IMO.
Pistorius claimed he couldn't remember the password to access his phone when police seized it as evidence (bullshit, IMO) and is standing by his story that it was a lovey-dovey non eventful evening.
Would he continue with such a story if it weren't true and the phone communications prove otherwise? I think he might if he thought he had the pull to get it permanently erased before it could be accessed, or if he didn't think it could be accessed at all.
P.s. you're right - a year from arraignment to trial is really quite speedy for a charge of premeditated murder.
