The phrase "trigger happy" could have been invented for him.

Things that don't go well together:
George Michael and Cars
Oscar Pistorious and Guns

If English is the Judge's second language one could forgive her stuttering delivery this morning, if not she's as thick as mince.

"If English is the Judge's second language one could forgive her stuttering delivery this morning..."

Where's the trial being held?  What nationality is Thokosile Masipa?  Do you really need to take a wild guess as to whether English is her second language?
By:

Well, as English is an official language of South Africa then, yes, I do.

I'd hazard a guess that English is the most common language in South Africa.

afrikans will be her first language you would think

I have no idea.

But I do know that you don't get to her position if you are "thick as mince".
By:

Ah, so that is the crux of it.  I offended you, that's fair enough.

George Bush was thick as mince by the way, and he became President of the United States.

adjourmnments Sad this is why the trial has taken so bloody long jsut get on with it
By:
Stevie Strikes
When: 11 Sep 14 10:02
No the crux of it is that you accuse someone of being thick as mince because they have difficulty reading English fluently.  No offence taken.

btw, there are no academic qulifications required to become president of the USA.

you shoot someone in your apartment, through the bathroom door, no one else in the apartment, has been shown to be a bit of a loose cannon.

Gets let off.

That's not justice.

Her language is definitely pointing to not guilty.
By:

Difficulty reading English fluently if it is their first language was my clear accusation.

If the judge lets him off she's definitely as thick as mince.

she is not going to let him off....

he will do time, just depends on how much..

anyone can see that it was not premeditated murder...
By:

not thick, just paid off.

What is the time limit for premeditation? 

I don't think he planned to murder Miss Steenkamp days, or even hours, in advance but I do believe he intended to kill her in a fit of rage following an argument.
By:
Ampleforth
When: 11 Sep 14 10:26
then that would be common-law murder, 15-20 years.
By:
Pokermonster
When: 11 Sep 14 10:27
Thank you.  Twenty years minimum would seem appropriate to me.
By:
Ampleforth
When: 11 Sep 14 10:31
i actually dont think he intended to kill her. Just went mental in a fit of rage, making it culpable homicide. maximum 15 years, more likely 7-10 years. Considering his disability, I reckon he will get 8 years
