Prosecutors in this case are calling this development totally weird.

They watt lead detective Hilton but attack the police is key witness when it comes to the crime scene it'll be invested to step down -- this case.

I mean a great pal -- live in Pretoria South Africa understand you were in the courtroom today.

In even had a chance to speak with that detective -- Absolutely -- Bill -- that we were in the courtroom for day three of the bail -- And for Oscar for stories -- yes we were right next to the detective -- talking about he was taking the stand again today.

And -- we asked him about his performance yesterday all that contradictory testimony in a very large understatement.

He described it as so so.

We then asked him about these attempted murder charges she and other police officers are allegedly.

Accused of shooting at a -- during a criminal investigation back in 2011.

He told me he thought the charges were dropped.

Still this is got to further damage the government's case against the story -- and we could soon hear about a new.

Lead detective in the case guys Greg you also had a clear view of the story -- today in court.

How -- -- or how does he appear to be holding us up.

It was a packed courtroom.

Bill but we did have a clear view we were facing him.

He is a grim faced but frankly we didn't see his face almost the entire day the entire hearing his head was down.

At one point he was crying openly.

He was wiping away tears his head it was shaking he was not being.

Really under control of late.

And behind him his family brother and other founding members offering some support.

A most of the day bill was taken up with the the defense.

For the story is summing up their arguments of my impression of them they are very slick very well organized -- -- no premeditated murder.

No murder.

The story is thought it was an intruder not his girlfriend Revis being camp who.

He shot -- one telling line from the from the lawyers said hey if he wanted to killer.

He didn't have to wait until about from.

One final note probably the most stunning conversation I had today and that courtroom was with a longtime trainer for the story -- He knows this story -- for years talks to all the time even knew his.

A friend as well just a few days before that incidence.

The trainer told me the story -- pulled them aside and described her -- said.

She's a keeper.

Stunning stuff sure is thank you recognize you at the developments come out of there thanks Greg how Koch working that story in South Africa are.
