Let's see if he is deserving of an Oscar in his performance in the interview tonight at 9pm on ITV !

Oh how I've missed Gerrie Nel {swooning} :blushing: BTW, hi everyone, it has been a while

Ooooh yes, he is a fine looking man. So sexy :blushing:

I was surprised by that too, then I thought perhaps it was just the wording as English isn't her first language... but then when she said something like the Steenkamp's were struggling with losing their daughter, especially financially... I was gobsmacked to say the least!

Did anyone watch the link where the reporter was pretty much teasing Pisstorius's dad about being locked up for 5 years and how did he feel about it? I thought it was really terrible what she was doing as she definitely was trying to get any reaction from him. After a while of saying nothing...

In prisons in the UK people only have to serve half their sentence if they behave inside. I guess it's just a given, it isn't stated at sentencing. Masipa shouldn't have made it a maximum 5 years; minimum 5 would have been more fitting imo

Yep she's going on a very long long holiday and will be unavailable next week, or thereafter, or the week thereafter, the week thereafter that... (you get the picture) Uncle Arnold has lent her a narrow boat and she'll be sailing off with her family to a remote island in Mozambique where can she...

No wonder Dewani went to SA to get his wife killed! Shocking

This is a great article, my thoughts exactly in most part... www.health24.com/Columnists/Is-Judge-Masipa-letting-Oscar-get-away-with-murder-20140912 A small excerpt taken from this article... "Puzzles remain - The judge took it as fact that the light in the toilet was out. Why were the...

I can't believe that I am going to say this but I can see why there are only a few high court judges. This shows that a female judge got too caught up by her own emotions and feeling sorry for the accused when making a judgement. All the defence had to do was ensure that OP cried and did a lot...

I really do agree that not enough was said about Reeva in court. The judge perhaps subconsciously just saw her as someone who got her law degree but then went off to become a model. The judge may have seen her as a dumb blonde, wanting to date OP just for status... it's a shame that she didn't...

I don't see the point in Nel trying to do anything, the Judge will rule against him on everything... it's clear OP can hardly do any wrong in her eyes. The only things I've heard her say against him are "you should have called security you naughty boy, you should have shouted out of the...

So South African law suggests that I could kill my boyfriend if he peed me off enough but I would only have to make sure there was noone else in the house. I would then only have to say that I feared that he was going to come out of the toilet and attack me so I got my gun out of the bedroom...

Even if he knew because he took the competency test that it was unlawful to shoot at people behind a closed door?

All I can say is with judgements like these I can see why there is so much crime in South Africa! Essentially anyone can shoot and kill anyone as long as they say that they thought they were in danger and their defence is putative self defence. Flippin' incredible, I'm glad we all got a chance...

Judge Masipa has totally lost all her credibility in this case. Especially when Uncle Arnold states in her court that the family would like to show her just how grateful they are for allowing OP to get away with Reeva's murder. I wonder just HOW grateful she is expecting them to be???? Shameful!

My interpretation of what the prosecution was getting at was that even if they cleared him of murdering Reeva, the court should convict him of murdering the person behind the door. Example, if OP heard a noise and got peed off and angry because he thought someone had entered his home and...

That would be Dolus Directus wouldn't it rather than Dolus Eventualis?

I can't see the Judge giving him any jail time at all. She seems determined to keep him out of any sort of confinement at all costs. Very disappointing, where is the justice in South Africa?

I gotta say, I think she was more exceptional in a lot of ways than me... I need to up my game ;)
