An order by Judge Thokozile Masipa to prohibit the media from tweeting information about Reeva Steenkamp’s post mortem results sounds unenforceable, law expert Pierre de Vos said on Monday.<\/p>\n
“I haven’t heard the whole order, but from what I have heard it sounds confusing,” De Vos said.<\/p>\n
“It sounds unenforceable. I wasn’t there to hear her [the judge’s] exact words, but in other court cases, people and journalists use Twitter so I don’t know why they doing this in this case, what makes this case so special.”<\/p>\n
Judge Masipa ordered that the live broadcast of Oscar Pistorius’s murder trial be cut because of the graphic testimony of a pathologist testifying about Steenkamp’s injuries.<\/p>\n
“There shall be no live broadcast now…. That [also] applies to Twitter,” she said.<\/p>\n
Pistorius is charged with the premeditated murder of Steenkamp, and with contravening the Firearms Act.<\/p>\n
He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges, and contends he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder when he shot her.<\/p>\n
