You will Roux the day you had to be questioned by him!

Seems Barry Roux is the name on everyone’s lips since Monday. South Africa has seen a side of the justice process they are not normally privy to and seeing a defence lawyer in action is a rare thing. Roux has certainly been delivering a performance worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster. His approach to witnesses does not sit very well with some South Africans whereas others love him.

Thanks to #barryroux nobody will ever want to be a witness for a case in South Africa again. #oscartrial — Darren Simpson (@WhackheadS) March 4, 2014

#BarryRoux reminds me of my primary school Maths teacher. The sarcasm. The bullying. He kinda looks like him too. #OscarTrial — LeAnn (@MissLelee_K) March 6, 2014

#OscarPistorius neighbours dare not tell #barryroux they farted that fateful night. He'll put it to them it sounded like a gunshot @Eusebius — Norman P (@stormingnormanp) March 7, 2014

Rumour has it #BarryRoux will play the next Bond villain... #Pistorius — Rory Allwright (@AllwrightYea) March 7, 2014  

  Of course, he has his fair share of admirers, too:
