    Trial Discussion Thread #59 - 14.21.10, Day 48 ~ sentencing~

    Good morning :-) Consensus on the street outside the #Pistorius courthouse is that the runner should get 10 years https://twitter.com/SJFindlay/status/524443811624525824 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

    Trial Discussion Thread #58 - 14.17.10, Day 47 ~ sentencing~

    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.

    Trial Discussion Thread #58 - 14.17.10, Day 47 ~ sentencing~

    I’ve spent the weekend reading the legal experts and their interpretation of the HOA. The way I understand it they expect an appeal from Nel, unless OP faces a very hard sentence. So that’s positive. If it’s true and OP might share a part of the prison with Radovan Krejcir - I...

    Reaction on Twitter: Judge Greenland: #oscartrail199 #OscarPistorius Roux's claim that OP is a victim coz of some people's views and media exposure is highly objectionable https://twitter.com/Chrisng53/status/523025817006510080 Rebecca Davis (from the Daily Maverick) I cannot believe that...

    I’m really sick of "he lost everything". He threw it away himself. There is a lot of outrage on Twitter about the Ubuntu thing, looks like the people in SA don’t approve. Experts say all the cases Roux used as examples were 1 shot - not 4 shots cases. Not fair.

    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. In an open letter to Pistorius, the CEO of the QuadPara Association of South Africa (QASA), Ari Seirlis, told Pistorius that he should...

    He won’t - too risky. The verdict might be changed to dolus eventualis by the Court of Appeal. I bet Roux and OP know that.

    Absolutely. It didn’t have to though - nothing much happened. The Holy Family manipulated the media, again.

    Don’t think you can buy Mikey. Besides he’s best friends with Jared Mortimer - that’s the chap Oscar had problems with recently at a night club. Agree though on the "honesty and integrity" bit.
