kliq: Dude is guilty,case is taking too long


R.I.P Reeva

nifton:
Sorry d diseased was a white too.

IrishKez:

Well he is not. Is he?

That phrase was used with regard to his antecedent as an individual(Oscar)

Hugo7:
can you prove it.

maestroferddi: Just someone remarked, it is not about emotional opinion but balancing judgement against adduced facts and evidence.

The following facts/probabilities worked in Oscar P's favour. They are mitigating/extenuating circumstances:

1. Oscar's action is assumed to have been taken at the spur of the moment. A normal human being is expected to defend themselves against intruders/threats. Defence or thought for the girlfriend only comes second.


2. The number of shots is hardly compelling argument. The difference between firing A SINGLE shot and releasing FOUR from an automatic weapon might depend on the emotional balance of the shooter. If Pistorius was assumed to be greatly alarmed, then it could be successfully argued that the element of fear made him fire multiple shots.

3. Pistorius is disabled. The fact that he wears prosthetics does not diminish the assumption that he should be vulnerable. His propensity to use a gun to defend himself is expected to be higher than that of an able-bodied man. The foregoing prejudices the judge's opinion in his favour.

4. Assuming Pistorius and Reeva had an argument or a fight prior to OP falling asleep, then one shouldn't expect Reeva to be the first thing on Oscar's mind when he got roused out of sleep by a strange sound. Naturally, his own safety should be primary concern. So defending himself should not be so out of order.

I believe these points were what the judge factored in in giving her verdict and quashing the conviction for pre-meditated murder and second-degree murder.

rezzy:

Was the girl not white?

This case is somehow. Nobody can really judge his mind. But God knows best

timbros: Whether he walks free or not, there is one little tiny something that will continue flogging and tormenting him for the rest of his miserable life...

phransix147:

No be only diseased na Ebola... Its DECEASED

webdezzi: this is a case of pre-meditated murder but unfortunately the state could not prove this.

1. if there is a break in, and you have to go back to get a weapon in the bedroom
you are obviously going to invlove your partner. more like "hey babe, someone's breaking in " while loading his firearm

2. one shot should be enough to get whoever was at the other side to give up

3. 4 shot is definitely an intent to kill

4. If you could wake up at the close of a bathroom window, the next thing that comes to mind is your partner must be the actor.
hello! you weren't alone in the house.

My theory is that babe went to the bathroom to answer a lover who called very early on val's day
oscar sneaked to listen up to the convos and whao, this babe has been cheating.
went for the gun and boom!

another is

babe left phone behind, val message came in, dude reads it, got upset and went for his gun.

Adedayo516: You started following this case today... All true no lie

Dreambeat: I think it was a premeditated murder.How could you be at home with your girlfriend,sleeping on the same bed for that matter and you heard a noise for which you felt came from a burglar.You did not call out to your girlfriend to know whether the noise you heard was coming from her.You went ahead to shoot.Abeg talk another story.He was not found guilty for murder not because he didnt commit the crime intentionally but just for want of enough evidence for his conviction.The prosecutors probably did not do a good job putting forth the necessary evidence to nail him.

freecocoa: I get that, I'm just saying, being human isn't a reason to be considered in matters like this, humans do despicable things.

pickabeau1: Why r u barking
We already knew the case was botched not only by the prosecutor, the policewho moved things around and Oscar himself

coogar:

please don't tie up yourself in tortuous knots of logic....you knew nothing - you were relying on the evidence of her friends & the messages on whatsapp to prove he was abusive towards her.

how did the contamination of the crime scene helped pistorius when it was obvious he shot through the door & the victim never screamed - that was contrary to your nollywood script that they had an argument that might & he chased her into the loo when he shot her?

if i scoop out some of your theories on this case, you would be embarrassed. so let's leave it there.

nifton:
Queens man,it does happen somtimes,Tnx all d same.

pickabeau1: Then scoop
It was clear the case was botched
Murder requires proof beyond reasonable doubt
These guys took his watches... there was no hope

Chinom: That guy is as gulity as sin. But i'm afraid he might get away with a manslaughter conviction.

coogar:

please don't tie up yourself in tortuous knots of logic....you knew nothing - you were relying on the evidence of her friends & the messages on whatsapp to prove he was abusive towards her & thus - he's guilty as charged!

freecocoa: Bia coogar you are wanted in the family section, another man whom you have been defending has been found to spit on and hit his woman, had it been she died, shey would have said she cause it.

BluIvy:

True and he might be a victim of a gun too, especially if people see him as someone who does not think and uses a gun too quickly. They will want to shoot him first.

Dreambeat: I think it was a premeditated murder.How could you be at home with your girlfriend,sleeping on the same bed for that matter and you heard a noise for which you felt came from a burglar.You did not call out to your girlfriend to know whether the noise you heard was coming from her.You went ahead to shoot.

coogar:

she spat on him, not the other way round. he had a right to lash out. she later married him & i seriously doubt she was forced into marriage.
