Also pictures of him out nightclubbing... Hardly the broken man his shrink is portraying him as.

If there had have been a jury, and if I were on it, having listened to the evidence available, I would have voted "not guilty." You can't condemn a guy on circumstantial evidence and media speculations. There has to be hard evidence ... any "reasonable" person would require more proof than the prosecution offered ... and what they offered was speculative bs, nothing more.. That you might have preferred a guilty verdict is irrelevant. Even in South Africa, there is the presumption of innocence. The prosecution has to prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that someone is guilty. They didn't do that.

Re: Oscar Pistorius Trial.

I am losing any interest I had in this case. The decision was reached that he was guilty of manslaughter and he's not guilty of murder or put another way he's alive and she is dead.

His 'negligence' with a firearm, mental issues lead to the death of that poor girl and I would have thought the very least that should happen with him is that he gets some time in jail, as I feel that would be justice for her parents regardless of any circumstances.

I had my doubts if he'd ever get jail though, maybe there are enough mitigating circumstances to keep him out of prison,there's not much putting him on any ankle bracelet/tag schemes either so "community service" it is.

Re: Oscar Pistorius Trial.

we cant really have a go at another countries legal system when our own country is been ran by a gang of organised criminals that the majority of should be in prison but it does go to show that our country isnt the only country where the amount of money you have dictates what quality of law you get

Re: Oscar Pistorius Trial.

Oscar Pistorius has just got five years but may only serve 10 months, he may serve the rest under house arrest. I wouldn't call that justice for Reeva's family.

Justice failed them when he managed to get away with murder. I still can't see how the judge managed to decide it was culpable homicide (their version of manslaughter).

Re: Oscar Pistorius Trial.

Reeva's cousin has just been speaking to Philip Schofield on This Morning and said Pistorius showed no remorse and was out partying frequently after killing her. What a cold, arrogant creature. He should have got the full 15 years for her murder. I hope he has to watch his backside in prison with no special treatment, the creep.

Re: Oscar Pistorius Trial.

He had an argument with her and blew her away... why else would you shoot blindly into a toilet when your girlfriend was in the house with you - everybody first would shout out if it was your girlfriend in there, to find out if she was safe - before shooting! Fact is they had an argument and he decided to shoot into the bathroom regardless - that is what I see as happened...

Re: Oscar Pistorius Trial.

when i was younger if i was in for a battering from my mother i would leg it upstairs and lock myself in the bathroom

if my little brother was in for a thump from me he would lock himself in the bathroom

when my youngest brother was in for a battering from my mother or the middle brother he would lock himself in the bathroom

this is because the only room in most houses with a lock is the bathroom and i am pretty sure this is why she was in the bathroom she was trying to get to a safe place away from oscar

did they ever mention the lock on the bathroom door ?

She had packed her bags and had her mobile in the bathroom too.

That is a neat theory...except, I am sure she would have know of his past record with guns........surely she didn't think the bathroom door was bullet proof.
And despite what has been said, I am of the firm opinion that if someone cares about you, they make sure you are safe before they go and seek out any intruder.
I think it was a deliberate act and everything since then has been contrived to limit the damage to OP's image.
If he had been an ordinary Joe, or a coloured man he would have been going to jail for a very long time.
