ooooooh 5

with a possible 3 more....

Damn, year out
|
|
By:
does 5 years mean 5 years in south africa or will he be out in 2 and half like the uK ?
|
|
By:
He may be released after 10 months
|
|
By:
Not serve a day, surely. Will appeal for sure on that sentence. Watch this space. Even the pro's couldn't agree.
|
|
By:
Has to serve one sixth of the sentence, before parole is considered. So potentially could be out of prison after 10 months !
|
|
By:
I don't agree with the 'experts' saying she has given a balanced sentence. As the most he could have got was 15, then a properly balanced sentence would have been 7 and a half.

Keep up Facts.

Should have hired ojs lawyers he would have ended up getting compensation for police harrasment.
|
|
By:
As the commentator just said 5 years is a heavy sentence for culpable homicide. Must appeal because this looks heavy handed. One man cannot be used as a weapon against society because they have awful gun crime figures.
|
|
By:
I agree, 5 years can be seen as too lenient. The judge made a case of showing mercy to OP.
He didn't show Reeva much mercy did he ? |
|
By:
Had she set amuch lower sentence then appealing wouldn't be necessarily considered butthe length of this sentence forces his hand.
|
|
By:
Could be out after 10 months. This isn't parole as such - remainder of sentence is under 'correctional supervision'.

Keep up Facts. I am doing. A number of posters have made the point recently that a thread is not being visibly updated quick enough. I.e one assumes you are replying to the very last post, when in reality, after submitting the reply, you find one of more precede yours ! |
|
By:
I think the opposite. Metinks he will be hobbling with delight at 5 years.
|
|
By:
5 years, what a result he's had there. Seemed to fall in line with the expectations from both sides
|
|
By:
Or maybe it is parole? Not sure but certainly could be out after 10 months
|
|
By:
Except in this case Facts.

I dont think he would have been found guilty if, after he had done the deed, he had sent her home in a taxi.

Sorry, wrong thread.

The ANC womens group have been supporting the family and flying them to the trial. On top of the fact OP has been paying them on a monthly basis because they had no money. This is not a done deal. In my opinion. Seems likegroups like the Women's ANC are putting pressure on the courts for sentencing of famous people, gun crime and crimes against women. There is lot more to this but there you go. There but for the grace etc.

Because that is just nonsense. |

By:
Defence team seem happy to me. Would be amazed if they appeal.
|
|
By:
Why on earth would they appeal what is basically a 10 month jail sentence !
|
|
By:
Oscar was on the phone to OJ
10 months !! |
|
By:
OJ is currently serving 33 years I doubt he will be giving him too many tips !
|
|
By:
33 years for robbery. None for murder.
|
|
By:
Whether the prosecution appeal is another matter though..
|
|
By:
33 years for armed robbery but will be out before 10, that seems near the mark unlike OP's sentence which is a joke
|
|
By:
How the hell her parent's must be feeling now to know their daughter's life was only worth 10 months, trial was a joke, got off very lightly indeed, disgusting !

Justice systems vary so much throughout the world.
In the UK he would have been given life. In the USA he would have gotten a book deal and his own chat show. The Saffers are somewhere in between.. |

Same thing Debbie McGee sees in Paul Daniels.
