PE asked to read the affidavit, in which he says he examined the firearm and components. Findings that the cartridge was fired from that firearm.
But Serfontein's positively linked the cartridge with a 38 Special revolver. PB: Where did this revolver come from? PE: I wonder if he did not make a mistake and rectify it again.
PB: If there was a mistake. That mistake would only have been picked up after the day the original affidavit was made.

PE consider that hand not necessarily against chest when shot went off. PB: Are you contesting evidence of Dr Verster?

Ballistics expert took pics yesterday, measured Mngeni day before he died. How could they be so unprepared? #DewaniTrial
PE concedes that the defence's measurements of Mngeni's arm could be correct and accepts the measurements.

PE: I did not realise the arm measurement of Mngeni would be that critical.
