Isn't there like two or more books just waiting to be released that incriminates oscar further? sure seem's like all the people being silent on pistorius' real personality, are letting rip.

i wish Nel still had his scorpion crime fighting unit. He really does sound like batman sometimes.

Over where i live its pretty common, i mean you could say something like south african, but everyone knows what your gonna say is totally politically correct, and hence not worth listening too. coloured sounds wierder to me, like somethings wrong with him and you have to say he has been...

Honestly, if Pistorius was black, 100% of the people in the world would consider him guilty without a second thought.

false, she used it as justification that it supports OP not murdering Reeva. To explain to you the importance of the highest function of law, that is must be seen to be done, which Judge Greenland repeatedly stresses. When a common person, or one of low social status, who has witnessed a...

Thanks Lisa! it was a great interview you had with Judge Greenland, you can really see his passion for justice and his great dissapointment with this case, because it really should have been a turning point for SA. It really was a simple case...

Can you clarify your argument, are you stating that unless an appeal found Masipa made a mistake, she did not make a mistake? Really? Is this how the world is supposed to work? that at no point do we turn to experienced professionals and their statement in their area of expertise? Do you...

Ok. I don't believe it is reasonable to believe in this sequence of events. 1. Pistorius grabbed his gun under the bed, yet could not confirm Reeva was on the bed, when he would be right next to her 2. I do not believe any reasonable person would hear a sound in the bathroom and not...

I will accept this over-reliance on accuracy of minute detail on one condition. It is applied equally to Pistorius. In which case his constant self-contradiction with himself and forensic evidence means the court cannot believe him. Hence he should be tried for murder. This is the...

Timelines a red herring, in fact i consider it a failure of common-sense for Masipa to put so much weight on it. Because at 3am, with some witnesses half asleep, or in fact asleep, you don't expect them to remember the exact timing of minute detail like some bangs or shots, but you do expect...

I tend to side with Judge greenland on his take on various parts of the trial, and i'm kind of dissapointed at the lack of common-sense applied to it: 1. Oscar's version is that he went around the bed, and under it to get the gun, and we are to believe he could not nor did he try and see if...

I don't think so. Firstly, the experts did not state that the bat definitely happened after the gunshots, merely it could OR a piece of the wood was struck with the bat after the gunshots. They also disagreed with Pistorius' version of getting prosthetics then bat. So either the experts are...

If anyone could take the time to explain to me, these hanging questions: 1.It seem's the entire premise of the bat before gunshot (therefore preferring defense version) completely hinges on the expert forensics stating the bat happened before gunshots due to certain markings, but after watching...

Has anyone got a link to a youtube or something of the legal experts explaining the problems in masipa's verdict? I feel there is many, but its hard to find a summarised explanation, and its hard to get the post-verdict interviews.

2/3 people believe pistorius intended to murder reeva http://www.citypress.co.za/news/south-africans-think-oscar-pistorius-guilty-murder-survey/

How often do break-ins happen to rich peoples houses with full-on security systems like gates, guards etc in SA?

I did believe Masipa's verdict would be a total set-back for female judges. It's like the court doesn't realize that when your in the public eye, you conduct yourself with the utmost professionalism and don't get anything wrong. Did she consult with anyone on points of law? i mean...that would...

In all honesty i think this has the real potential to be even worse for Pistorius. If Pistorius was charged with dolus eventualis, i think the public attention would have waned and switched to another public topic, the defense team would appeal and behind closed doors they would have gotten a...

I personally don't like reading the BBC, it tries way too hard to be objective (read simply stating things we already know) and still using thinly veiled language to promote an agenda that shows the bias of the author. You can see when their out of touch when they use language that flies in the...

Thanks! I wonder if the South African news media has been getting more information then we have, i get the sense that for example they discuss and have been shown much more information about Pistorius' private life.
