Oscar Pistorius trial: Gerrie Nel and Barry Roux set for final court showdown

As Oscar Pistorius’s once bright star has fallen in such ugly and harrowing fashion over the last five months, two have risen. Barry Roux and Gerrie Nel are now, much to their dislike in at least one case, globally recognised figures.

After months of evidence, and a month’s adjournment, today and tomorrow the two men will present their closing arguments.

However, recent developments have thrown the judge’s decision into question. As TimesSelect reports, AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel says the group will fund the defendants’ legal fees.

It almost solely boils down to the testimony of star witness Bonakele Pakisi. His eyewitness account concluded that he saw the two convicted killers throw Mosweu from a moving bakkie, causing the injuries that claimed his life. In a tense, knife-edge trial, it was this evidence which swung the case.
