Pistorius Jailed For 6 Years For The Murder Of Reeva.

[ladybirder]

Fair?

[dannyk13]

A bit lenient for murder

[youngmafbog]

Really dont know.

Depends on which side you fall I suppose. Out and out murder or confusion.

[dannyk13]

Murder requires intent so it can't really have been confusion.

[ummmm]

No...not in my opinion.

I watched the interview he gave. He murdered her.

[NoMercy]

"Reeva wouldn't want me to spend my life in prison." He sobbed.

I don't imagine Reeva wanted to be dead, either.

[-Talbot-]

No.
And neither was making the parents of Reeva go through years of unnecessary torment in what was clearly an open and shut case.

[Copacetic]

Not at all, The Judge seems to have been in his pocket throughout, she basically added a year to his original sentence for culpable homicide.
As he has already served a year and is eligible for parole after 3 years, he only has 2 years in prison most likely to serve.

[jno]

he's a lucky boy.

[chelle7272]

Not at all, nowhere near long enough for murder. That judge seems to have quite the soft spot for him.

[rockyracoon]

6 years for murder. How lenient is that? Unbelievable.

[jno]

the prosecution can appeal against sentence. (So can the defence.)

[chelle7272]

True, but how many times must Reeva's family go through it.

[saintpeter48]

No way is that justice, it was murder, I believed it from day one and I believe it now!
The one thing that I don't understand in the whole build up to him firing blindly into a locked bathroom door is, why didn't he call out, 'who's in there', or 'Reeva is that you' or anything at all, he could've screamed at the top of his voice to find out who was there, all the time keeping the loaded weapon on the door in case there was an intruder!
He's got away with murder ..... again!

[Bathsheba]

I agree it's too lenient.

But then, I'm not happy with Cliff Richard business, or Madeleine McCann cock-up, so what do I know?

[Everhelpful]

And Footballer Adam Johnson got 6 years for grooming? Way too lenient sentence for Murder.

[nailit]

Prisoners have traditionally been wary of the prison showers. They will be now if pistorius is about.

[anneasquith]

Fair? Not at all.

[ToraToraTora]

It's a let off in my view. The thing is murder simple, all that old pony about shooting through the door is full of holes, no pun intended. OK let's for a nano second say he really believed the burglar was in the loo. Why would you not just tell the burglar stay in or you're dead and then call plod? No I'll unload the gun through the door and commit murder which it would still have been even if the burglar was in there. Complete and utter BS. I am amazed how any court could entertain such cobras.

[Bathsheba]

So basically, his "crying" made the judge believe he showed remorse?
