Oscar Pistorius

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I'd say it's vitally important whether the door was locked, and if he knew.

I don't see why.

If it was locked, it was from the inside. The only person who could unlock the door was in the bathroom.

The situation from his perspective (IF you believe his version of events) is that;

a) The toilet door was shut, possibly locked.
b) Someone was in the toilet, who he 'believed' to be an intruder.
c) He (Pistorious) had the upper hand, as he had a loaded firearm and was in full view of the door.
d) Any potential threat would be coming through that door.
e) Not once did his girlfriend identify herself to him from behind the door.

He didn't issue a warning that he was armed and about to fire (he had more than enough time to do so), there was no way he could positively identify a target and he didn't fire aimed shots. It's not COD or GTA; he had ZERO justification for putting 4 bullets into his toilet through a closed door.

It's culpable homicide at best, and that's before you get into motive and intent.

This is a pretty good summary of events.

Deffo culpable homicide and i don't think there is any doubt about that.

A compelling explanation of the profound enigmas in the Oscar Pistorius case is provided in a fascinating book by prominent Canadian psychologist Dr. Brent Willock. Oscar would have realized his girlfriend was not in their bed, and therefore that it was her who made the noise in the bathroom and, furthermore, he would have heard her yelling at him from behind the locked bathroom door--if he had not been in a state in which parts of his brain were wide awake while other parts were still asleep (parasomnia). Sleep disorders are far too little known and understood in legal and mental health circles, and by the general public. They are, nonetheless, of great interest to all. Dr. Willock's illuminating book has been endorsed by the world's foremost experts in sleep disorders. It provides the basis not only for understanding and forgiveness but also for launching a judicial appeal that would remove Oscar's criminal record, restore his reputation as an inspiration to the world, and permit him to resume his humanitarian work for victims of landmines, especially children. This compelling addition to Oscar's story--so strikingly absent in Daniel Gordon's recent documentary--will be of enormous interest and help to readers around the world. The book by Dr. Brent Willock is entitled The Wrongful Conviction of Oscar Pistorius: Science Transforms our Comprehension of Reeva Steenkamp’s Shocking Death.

Sorry mate. Guilty as fuck in my book.
Did Dr. Willock use paragraphs?

What a load of crap it must be then.

The first thing you would notice is your wife/girlfriend not next to you in your bed and then the noise from the bathroom becomes quite apparent as opposed to thinking you had 'bogeymen' in the house.

Lying **** shot her after a row, a row heard by neighbours.

I think that's probably what occurred, she maybe refused to come out and that was that.

Yes the first thing one would notice is that one's partner was not in bed, and one would instantly realize one's partner had made the bathroom sound -- if one were not in a sleep disordered state where part of one's brain was wide awake while other parts of the brain were still asleep (offline).
