I think he did it, too many inconsistencies in his story but the police investigation seems to be a bit half arsed and I won't be surprised if he gets off with it. That said I've a sneaky suspicion he will kill himself before any trial. |

Re: Oscar Pistorius arrested after fatal shooting.
So would it be unfair to suggest he will be competing in countries without an extradition agreement with South Africa?

Re: Oscar Pistorius arrested after fatal shooting.
That looks like a stalking charge to me ... the prosecution is fighting dirty. I wonder if they're worried the jury will believe his claim to have thought he was shooting a burglar?

Re: Oscar Pistorius arrested after fatal shooting.
Surely he can't escape a sentence either way though, his claim in my opinion is still manslaughter. The shooting wasn't justified as he has no evidence of burglary in his favour. Remember in all aspects of shooting an intruder you have to be able to justify it, the first one being you actually seen an intruder, which he didn't.
Murder or Manslaughter, he's got to do one of them. I'm leading slightly towards murder anyway. We don't all get up and shoot our wives/gf's when we know they're present do we? |
Re: Oscar Pistorius arrested after fatal shooting.
I don't know, this is South African law we're talking about here. Do you have particular knowledge of what the available defence arguments are?

I have little knowledge on SA law by the way. All of the above was based on our law and well a bit of common sense really. ---------- Post added at 18:56 ---------- Previous post was at 18:49 ---------- Quote:
Again we have little information on what SA counts as evidence towards an intruder being present. If you're allowed to shoot people without even making a call out then this case will go on forever. It'll likely be guesswork by the Jury, you either believe him or you don't. Defence can argue, Stress, the intruder story if SA law says it's perfectly normal to blast through doors without having a good reason to do so. With his defence actually arguing that case it seems certain they're hopeful of Manslaughter or nothing at all. Quote:
This part of the case will be the bit that separates him from going free or serving for the very least a sentence for manslaughter. Based on my posts, what are all your views on it? Murder, Manslaughter or getting let off scot free? |
Re: Oscar Pistorius arrested after fatal shooting.
Getting a bit fed up of listening to him talking like a little boy who's in trouble for something.
he just sounds like he's playing the sympathy game. if he really didn't do it. then he should be talking normal. he should be angry when someone says that he did do it. not "I don't want to look. I want to say how upset I am. listen to my voice. I even talk like this when I go home." |
Re: Oscar Pistorius arrested after fatal shooting.
The fact is he "did do it".
The issue is "why". |
