A man in prison orange draped in chains outside the #Pistorius court holds a sign saying "are certain offenders more equal...
I believe that’s the video before the verdict - she’s got a new one after the verdict. On Twitter she seems quite certain the State will appeal. I certainly hope so.
Second video (after the verdict, error in law): http://youtu.be/GEopBZxGJdc?list=UUeNFgaPwYgNbthn6Xy_rM2A
Forgot to say: they interpret certain things Nel said as "hints" - arguments for appeal. Nel said several times the crime was bordering on "dolus eventualis", called the suggested sentence "shockingly inappropriate" etc.
It’s mostly the experts I follow on Twitter:

Dear Oscar – here’s how you can still make a difference
Mr Pistorius, the greatest contribution you can make for those with disabilities will be in prison. So show the country that you are the great man you said you were...
There is a bit more about that:
Outside of the courtroom, a lobby group for people living with disabilities slammed Pistorius' attempts to avoid jail time.
