Guilty

As for his performance on the stand, he's appropriately named because he's trying for one

So many inconsistances in his story and sworn statement.....i think he had an argument with her that night, she was heard screaming before the shots were fired......she went to bathroom possibly for protection, locked door and he fired through the door. No question of him thinking intruders in the bathroom.......what were they after.....maybe toothpaste....his story doesnt wash......time will tell

sqad - LOVE your answer at 10:06 yesterday and yogi, I agree with you !

[anneasquith]

[ToraToraTora]

.......and an avatar ideally!

[anneasquith]

TTT. I don't think avatars are compulsory ?

// TTT. I don't think avatars are compulsory ? //

Well I think they aught to be, I object to chatting to jelly blobs.

[albaqwerty]

Ron, I quite like some jelly blobs, they don't need to wait for gravatar to load :-D

Anyhoo, I think he is guilty of murder.
He woke up, startled by a sound, his bed did not contain his g/f and instead of calling out, or trying by other means, to find out if she was safe, he shot through a bathroom door.
The man is really strange.

[Jeza]

I don't know about Pistorius I do know about pissedoffwith.

[albaqwerty]

I've got a vague memory that he has already been found guilty and this trial is to decide which type of killing it was?

(Can't find a link to that at the moment, sorry)
Different legal system in SA.

[albaqwerty]

only link to my previous comment is this (but it compares SA law with the US law)

[ToraToraTora]

he has not been found guilty, this is the trial now. He's admitted shooting her so the trial is about whether or not the whole burglar in the kazi routine cuts it. Personally I think it's a load of implausible BS, they had a row, she hid in the kazi he shot her through the door, no question. He has a load of form with gun crime, getting angry and going off the deep end. his latest dodge is to get himself sectioned so he can go to a comfy loony bin instead of prison.

[ummmm]

Any idea the difference in sentences?

[albaqwerty]

I'm still sure I heard/read it somewhere, but I'm quite happy to be wrong.
(Usually am wrong anyway!)

I agree TTT, that his defence team are doing their best/worst to prove he is mentally challenged (I'm in News, this is a scary area for me)

However, I have another question, if he has a history of going off on one, he should have been sectioned before now and a life may have been saved?

[albaqwerty]

Had a look Ummm, can't find anything definite yet.

[ummmm]

I haven't watched the trial, just clippets on the news, I just thought the only person he was crying for was himself.

[kvalidir]

I am undecided if he murdered her or if he genuinely isn't quite right in the head, either way I think he's a horrible man and I wouldn't date him if he was the last man on earth, however much money he has.
