Oscar Pistorius

Without a doubt mate.

One bullet could be argued as an accident but not 4.

Just out of curiosity why do you think this?

The difference in time between firing 1 bullet and 4 in this instance could be less than 1 second. And if you were unsure about who was behind the door I would imagine that 4 shots would be a more likely number to fire than 1.

My point of view is that I have not seen/read enough evidence either way to say if he is guilty or not. If he did it throw away the key if not then I pity him for what he has to go through.

Don't think Hilton Botha will be in line for a promotion any time soon.

Next door neighbours were 600m away now says 300m. Walked across the crime scene without any protective footwear and possibly contaminated it (and then admitted this was a mistake in court)

Where's Morse when you need him

This is what I feared him getting off on a technicality. He did murder her and I have zero doubt about that judging from what has been revealed thus far but he may find a loophole that gets him off.

They had a SA lawyer on the radio the other day and he said people given life sentences serve about 10/15 years before becoming eligible for parole. I'm not sure were you got your information but it's wrong.

i live in SA and have had buddies, go through the judicial system.
you go to Pollsmoor if you got a shit lawyer and no cash. oscar will go to prison but probably one of the smaller medium security prison that politicans and fraudsters go to.

this pollsmoor rape shit is real , but its a maximim security prison.
threats to society go there, they just use it as a tool to scare potheads and drunk drivers.

Where do you live blue?

Wife is from SA and we lived on the family game farm just outside Tzaneen from 2007 till 2011.

i live in cape town, Bokaap
If any blues are down, let me know

I agree with this.

And what was this cricket bat and her head being caved in stuff about? Was that made up?

He (Oscar) has said he used it to break down the door to the bathroom once he realised it was her in there.

The part of his story that I just can't get my head round is that he didn't check the bed before shooting. I can't believe anyone would actually do that. In fact, I imagine 99.9999% of men would warn their missus somehow that they were about to engage an intruder in a firefight within the very room in which they are sleeping, yet Pistorius didn't even give the bed a sideways glance to check she was still in it. I know that doesn't prove his guilt, but it certainly makes me question the version of events he has come up with.

True. In fact if it was me I would wake the wife and send her to sort out the intruder. She is definately scarier than me.

see my post on page,,,,,,,er,,,,,oh fuck it.

Corrupt SAPS officers being paid a few thousand Rands to divulge information on the case and as with most things, the truth gets stretched and headlines need to be spiced up.

Knowing SAPS as i do, he will no doubt walk due to them being corrupt/technically incapable of conducting a proper forensic investigation.

Conviction rates for violent crime are currently running at less than 10% in all cases reported to the police and gone to trial iirc.

But her head wasn't caved in then?

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

well i heard he was completely legless when he done it. soooooooo, i m thinking of buying him the 12" remix of brian adams "i m gonna run to you"..... so he can sing along to it in prison.

 

[tidyman]

Is this the normal way things are done in South Africa or are they just playing it up because he's famous?

This pre trial, trial just to establise whether bail is granted seems an odd way to go about things, looking on from a far.

Hard to imagine how it can not prejudice the actual trial when they get round to that.
