I was watching and then my subscription expired (cut-off)... I think its highly unfair that people sit in front of their computers and make negative statements against Oscar P. because the evidences like the judge summarized this morning are too few and not very substantial to establish anything. Its scary to listen to people make negative comments when we truly have little to work with, its scary because these people making these comments may be in a jury one day and make a decision that would alter someone Else's life for the worse. 5 Likes |

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. I was gonna have a go at you for your submission, but you redeemed yourself in d last paragraph. Truth is there's such a phrase as beyond reasonable doubt. The burden of proof of murder is on the prosecution not Oscar. The prosecution on the strenght of what we now know did a shoddy job. Judge Masipa very brilliantly exposed the poverty in the submissions of the prosecuting counsel. Oscar may ooze of Reeva's blood, but there's also a slim chance he's telling the truth. For me its too circumtantial to give him the guilty verdict. Culpalble homicide looks an easier route to follow Its on now, let's see how it wraps up 1 Like |

[size=15pt]Murder is referring to an intentional killing. Culpable Homicide is referring to negligent or reckless killing. There is no minimum sentence for culpable homicide in South African law, which allows the judge to look at options including a jail sentence, a suspended jail sentence, correctional supervision and even a financial penalty - or a combination of several of those options. Meaning he could walk free and or a suspended jail sentence, correctional supervision or a financial penalty.[/size] |

pickabeau1: Why r u barking 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! how did the contamination of the crime scene help 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 night & 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. 2 Likes |

According to the story, Oscar went to the balcony to bring the fan and he didnt see her pass by his back 'cos she had her phone with her and she could av used its light to guide her way(guess the light wasnt on). I think it was normal for him to have thought she was inside the room when he fired the shots . 1 Like |

I know most people are seemingly bent on hearing Judge Thokozile Masipa slam a "GUILTY" verdict on #OscarPistorius. I remind you all about "Presumption of Innocence", certain extenuating circumstances, the mens rea and chiefly, the body language of the accused at the locus criminis, during pre-trial, trial and post trial. I still recall the salient principle held in R. vs OMISADE where it was held that the actus reus and mens rea must intersect for a crime to be complete. In today's trial, Ms. Masipa held inter alia that: "Pistorius genuinely believed there was an intruder. He gave this version to witnesses immediately after the killing.", also "to find anything other than Pistorius believed there was an intruder would be to say the accused's reaction was 'faked' that he was 'play acting' for onlookers at the time." In moments like this, my heart goes to Reeva Steenkamp's family for their inconsolable loss. Indeed, LAW is technical. Dynamic. Cruel. Fearless. Faceless. And of course asphyxiating too! Waiting with keen interest for the judge's ruling on the lesser charge of Culpable homicide. Intrigues all the way....... 1 Like |
