He had a temper but a lot of profesional athletes do. I find it strange someone would go from no evidence of domestic abuse to straight murder. I’m no expert but I’d hazard abusers escalate in extremities and given his ex girlfriend of 5 years testified he never once laid a finger on her it seems a big leap that 6 months or so down the line, in a relationship of only 3 months, he’s suddenly turned murderer.
There relationship wasn’t without its problems and he wasn’t some perfect gent but it doesn’t make sense to me he’s suddenly happy to murder his girlfriend one evening after an alleged argument.
Only he knows.
Indeed, only he knows.
An ex of his mentioned that she would hide his gun when he was angry. It is just so odd that he didn't simply check Reeva was in bed before spraying several rounds in to the bathroom.
Roid rage?
Was he tested?
Not sure but the roids they found at his house turned out to be herbal medicine. Ha.
This is the problem with fake news. A lot of things reported initially in the press was crap.
I have my suspicion though he might have been into coke, but that’s not based on any hard evidence so could be way off the mark.

Got an Oscar Pistorius advent calendar from Jagermeister. There’s a shot behind every door.

Well that’s it, he might not have thought reeva was behind that door but he certainly wasn’t thinking twice about seriously injuring a burglar.

Exactly. Far too many issues in the case. Locked door, more than one shot, anger issues. Maybe she was having an affair and he found out. Could not handle it, killed her and came up with a bullshit story that he could sell to people. It’s always simple in these cases. Money and infidelity normally surface. The rest of his story is made up with lots of misdirection and vague enough to keep people guessing.He is known to have anger issues and it was also odd that she had locked the bathroom door.

EVERY shot should be an AIMED shot, and you should only fire if you or someone else's life if directly threatened.Well that’s it, he might not have thought reeva was behind that door but he certainly wasn’t thinking twice about seriously injuring a burglar.
Neither condition is met from behind a locked door.

Anyone that uses a gun without knowing what they’re shooting at is a ****, no it’s or buts and no excuse ever. Don’t try and justify it.Nobody knows how you will react in the middle of the night with no legs and in a violent place like south africa , i dont think he meant to kill her , i think he was in fear of their lives

And that's what eventually did for him. Doesn't matter who he thought was behind that door; it was still murder in the eyes of the law.Well that’s it, he might not have thought reeva was behind that door but he certainly wasn’t thinking twice about seriously injuring a burglar.
