I wonder which son of a gun he's looking at... he's watching OP like a hawk! Can only imagine what's going through his mind looking at the guy who has taken the life of his princess Reeva

I meant I was starting to buy into the view that Masipa had misunderstood the test for Dolus Eventualis and that Nel would appeal... I'm not so sure now after reading the comparisons after reading a link a couple pages back

That's exactly what I thought and then I read up on Dolus and CH and realised that she was probably right in the first place. Everyone in the courtroom looked shocked by her sudden adjournment, it was quite bizarre. Roux whispered something to Oldwage who then laughed... I wonder what's...

I don't think defence would dare to appeal for fear that OP would actually get a murder charge after all. I think they would cut their loses and take whatever he is given as long as he doesn't end up on a murder wrap!

Me too. Very disappointed by her finding him not guilty of Eventualis though... I would have put my house on that being the correct outcome. I still believe it should have been especially with her reasoning for it not being... she really did contradict herself.

I'm baffled by that, it seems the size of the room was irrelevant! How could he NOT foresee the possibility that shooting into that tiny space 4 times would kill someone. It's not like it was only 1 bullet that hit her, it was 3 out of 4... that's a huge clue that it was a possibility and as a...

Why did she specifically believe him when he said that he thought Reeva was sleeping in bed? I find a lot of her reasonings odd. I particular don't understand how she can look at the shooting as irrelevant who was behind the door. I have always believed that if he did in fact believe someone...

He won't be able to appeal if it is an acquittal so I hear.

Poor Reeva, still invisible and silent. So sad :(

She's giving him time to pack and skip the country!

Only the defence can appeal can't they?

The fact is that there was NO intruder and even if there was he didn't need to go towards the danger - he was the one who put himself in direct danger by approaching the bathroom... he could have even if there was a danger to him, go out through the bedroom door and out to safety with Reeva...

I'm surprised she's even mentioned that considering that the psych reports said he wasn't paranoid!

Just her first sentence tells me that she's gonna let him off Scott free.

Can she change her mind?

I have always said that it was Dolus Eventualis, I was beginning to be swayed towards Dolus Directus but never completely... I am still in shock that he got off with Eventualis... it was cut and dried as far as I was concerned. I still don't know how it could have been argued otherwise! I...

The judge had more than enough evidence to convict him of murder... she just chose to ignore it. It's clear that she used parts of Dr Stipps evidence that supported the verdict that she wanted to hand out but rejected other parts as unreliable. Right from the beginning it seemed that she "didn't...

If I was terrified for my life I certainly would be running AWAY from the danger NOT towards it!!! I'm baffled and glad I don't live in SA where people get away with blatant murder even when the evidence is right there in front of everyone to see!!!

but yet he foresaw that if he had fired a warning shot into the shower cubicle it would ricochet and hit him!!! Strange that isn't it ;)

Judge Masipa must have had death threats from Pistorians or been paid off by the "Family"... I can't believe this!
