Oscar said it was an accident on February 13th the night before Valentine's Day they went to sleep he
00:00:07
said he got out of bed on his Stomps I took the bigger tripod fan and I placed it in the bedroom he didn't have his
00:00:16
pathetic legs on so it's the middle of the night and Oscar says he hears a noise coming from the bathroom and he
00:00:24
believed there was an intruder in the house my lady that's the moment that everything changed so he grabs this gun
00:00:31
he rushes to the bathroom it was at that point that I was just overcome with fear
00:00:36
I shed for re to get out on the floor he thinks she's in bed he starts firing it's a very interesting murder case in
00:00:43
effect he's acknowledging the shooting and saying that he did the shooting and the reason now is why what the
00:00:50
prosecution is saying is that this was a shooting out of anger and to back up the
00:00:54
timeline they were arguing over something and that for whatever reason she left to go into the bathroom
00:01:00
probably to hide he is so angry finds the do is locked goes back gets the gun and shoots out of
00:01:07
anger I'm a private forensic Consulting scientist Dr David clater the current sequence of events that the prosecution
00:01:16
are alleging is that Riva was standing facing the door when she was struck in the hip by the first shot that would
00:01:23
have had the effect of destabilizing her and she would have started to collapse and the Grays on the back of Rivas body
00:01:30
which the state alleges was made by a ricocheting bullet and in that process of collapsing she was hit by at least
00:01:39
two other shots now it's absolutely crucial that the state can show not only that that was the sequence but that
00:01:46
there was a delay in the shooting because it then can be argued that Riva after the first shot in the hip would
00:01:55
have cried out thus dispelling any notion that Oscar would have had of it being an intruder was he angry and
00:02:03
frustrated with his girlfriend then it's murder or was he scared and frightened it's going to be very very telling how
00:02:11
that judge looks at these facts
