I don't care if he's guilty, nor how long he receives. All that matters is whether the judge's first language is English.

I'm sure her accent is clearly understandable to those that matter in court

looks like pistos diff statements might be his undoing

I was watching for about 10 minutes at roughly 9-00 a.m.
I gave up when I read that this summation could take a few hours. If you like a laugh, put on the BBC subtitles. The best one at 9-00 a.m. was when 'Respiratory' became 'Press per tory'  |

she seems right on the ball to me
as a former reporter her writing must be better than her reading |

Fearing this jealous vermin of a man and all round scumbag will get off lightly...
I have followed this case closely. The evidence stacks up, and the made up on the spot denials and excuses of the defendant when questioned in court have sickened me to the core. As a fellow parent of a daughter i'd say a bullet to the back of the head will be suffice in this sorry state of affairs. Guilty as guilty can be and my thoughts are with Reeva's family who will live with this horror forever! RIP |

Why is it her decision?
Is there no jury in this case? |
|
By:

Pictured on the BBC website in court with a bucket and a towel. A bit poor taste to be doing the ice bucket challenge now IMO.

have to agree on the whole, but life isn't, and should never judged as being completely black and white,

I heard one piece about 17 witnesses who allegedly heard Steenkamp screaming.
If I heard correctly, the post-mortem revealed that the wound to her head would have blocked her airway, and prevented her from screaming. Perhaps Pistorius screams like a woman when he's angry. |

so what happens now
|
|
By:
He is going to get some minimal custodial sentence around 3 -5 years imo
|
|
By:
If it was me in OP's seat right now, that premeditated charge would be given, sickening
|
|
By:
Hope he still gets murder charge though
|

Oscar's brother wheeled into court in a wheelchair following a car crash. Both his legs in plaster, apparently broken.
Such a crying shame as this brotherly outcome would have been a perfect send off for OP (see clip). Unlike Harmonica's brother who was innocent... Once Upon a Time in the West (7/8) Movie CLIP - Harmonica's Flashback (1968) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kD54-q1uFM |

Andrew Beatty, AFP's southern Africa news editor tweets: If Pistorius found guilty of culpable homicide, judge has lots of discretion re sentencing, anything from a fine to a lengthy prison stretch
|
|
By:
a fine, lmao
|
|
By:
He will probably get a rousing reception at his first athletics meet
|
|
By:
judge is trashing Pistorius as a witness under cross examination. contradicting himself. Yet he still gets off murder.
