snika: So how many years is the jail sentence?[url][/url] They said the maximum sentence for culpable homicide(manslaughter) is 15years so it's the judge to decides the years he would spent in jail. Some say it might fall between 5-10years He was also found guilty of second degree of wrong use of firearm something like that sha, the sentence for that is about 5years seperately from the first. On the 13th of october is the hearing of his sentencing, they would sum both sentences and would serve them concurrently. NB. Culpable homicide means unintentional but illegally killing a person (CNN) |

Everybody is justifiably outraged at this seeming miscarriage of justice, but like every thing else, we'll stay mad for a minute and then move on to the next outrage. Some are pointing at the south african legal system as if they've never seen such a travesty before.(cough, cough) I'm still doing a double take down here in Florida at the Casey Anthony trial, and I haven't even let my mind wander beyond the sunshine state. Humans very often serve up dishes that are far from just, but it's left up to the rest of us to make the meal served, easier to digest for those who got the cold plate. Speak up and give comfort to those wronged, vote when you get a chance, work to actively change certain laws. I don't know the Steenkamp family, but I have no problem acknowledging their pain and at least thinking about them and keeping them in my prayers. |

Looks like even a black judge can play to white politics . " I was in bed , my girlfriend wasn't lying there next to me .....uh ....so I heard a noise ! Wait it MUST BE a burglar , and he locked himself in my bathroom ! So I emptied the clip of my 9mm into the bathroom door ACCIDENTLY killing my girlfriend ", who was found sitting on the bowl -with night clothes NOT pulled up indicating that she was NOT in the bathroom for the usual natural reasons - of course the door was found to be broken "after the discharging of the gun " by means of a cricket bat -ONLY THEN did I discover to my horror , that it was my girlfriend who I shot to death ! If anyone believes that - I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell them . 5 Likes |

Bwelz:C'mon, how will just walk free after murdering someone.. We agree it was unintentional, but murder was the case and they jailed him.. |

coogar:Suspended sentence? What does that even mean? Jesus! |
Re: Oscar Pistorius Found Guilty Of Manslaughter by babystathopoulos: 3:10pm On Sep 12, 2014 |
NairaMode: I nor agree with you o, the way you wrote it sound like an insult more than a request to clarify. It would ve been better put if you wrote "I didn't understand you" Cut long story short, he felt offended even if it wasn't your intent- courtesy demand you just apologize first before trying to justify yourself(no need for that sef) |
Re: Oscar Pistorius Found Guilty Of Manslaughter by coogar: 3:19pm On Sep 12, 2014 |
freecocoa: Suspended sentence? What does that even mean? Jesus! the sentence would be suspended. he goes home but with conditions attached. if he breaches the agreement, he would go to prison and serve his sentence. moreover, he could even get a fine.....several thousands of dollars for the crime committed. his lawyers should be able to get him a lighter sentence due to his disability & being a first offender. |
Re: Oscar Pistorius Found Guilty Of Manslaughter by Nobody: 3:22pm On Sep 12, 2014 |
babystathopoulos: Are you serious? Okay what do you think about him saying: "You sound like person pikin". Didn't really get it. Well I guess we should apologize to each other then. |

Forwetinnah: did he place the bullets through the door too, perhaps the door was fixed after he killed her. you guys should give it a rest...... |

Delafruita: t was the most likely judgement.murder is difficult to prove beyond reasonable doubt especially in a case with poor witnesses and good defense attorneys.I said it at the beginning of this trial thatnhe woulnt be convicted of murder but coukd face jail time one some if the other charges Rightly said |
Re: Oscar Pistorius Found Guilty Of Manslaughter by Forwetinnah: 3:43pm On Sep 12, 2014 |
SeaGold: I hope the state/prosecutors files an appeal and be ready next time with concrete evidence. The fact that the trigger happy cripple has been going around with his 9 milimeter pistol firing shots in different restaurants, parties and cars without provocation is proof enough that he's an impulsive killer...The Oscar winning actor should be given more pistols after all he's a national Hero in SA 1 Like |

SA with it's high crime rate and his disability as well, makes him have a need to carry a firearm should in case a burglar breaks into his home and his legs are far from him and he can't run...his only option then would be to defend himself with the firearm...but his shooting of his babe is just something nobody can really explain NairaMode: Funny thing a bout this case is if it were an ordinary citizen anywhere in the world, the case wouldn't take this long. |

Re: Oscar Pistorius Found Guilty Of Manslaughter by Nobody: 10:47pm On Sep 12, 2014 |
SeaGold: Nope! Sorry, doesn't work that way. Its not a toss of coin or a roll of the dice. The prosecutors aren't stupid, they knew it would be a long-drawn cat and mouse affair. They brought up murder first because its the "truthful perspective" which they couldn't prove materially, but they knew that already! They defense was gonna beat it down to what we've witnessed so far: Manslaughter. So, all in all, they've tried their best. Oscar has to serve his time and kiss his athletic career goodbye. But then, if an intruder really enters your house, the last place he or she is gonna be or be found is in the bathroom! Or is the bathroom the entrance to the house? Also, u can hardly spook or surprise an intruder, because he or she is the intruder! You will hardly get a fighting chance. And most intruders are armed and won't hesitate to use it. So...sorry bro. My Oscar goes to...OBASANJO'S SON |
Re: Oscar Pistorius Found Guilty Of Manslaughter by Nobody: 10:55pm On Sep 12, 2014 |
Seun: It's a maximum of 15 years but he could get 7 to 10 years. The judgement sounds very fair to me. He was careless and someone died. He was (d)evil and Reeva died. |
