General Discussion Thread #1 -Bail Hearing

[21merc7]

Good grief:

16:03 - Yet, Nair says, the State can't show a watertight case either, enough to induce Pistorius to scamper.

 

[cityslick]

Can't find that he is a flight risk.

 

[jjenny]

16:01 - Nair: I have difficulty in understanding why the accused did not check where girlfriend was or ask who was in the toilet.

I have been saying the same exact thing all alone.

 

[21merc7]

16:06 - Pistorius is sobbing, clasping tissue and head in hands, says Alex Crawford.

(And the nominee for the Golden Globe Award is...)

If I were Oscar, I'd be out of SA so fast.... There really is nothing holding him there, IMO.

 

[LJKaust]

I am sticking with a prediction of bail being granted.

good grief, could it be any more obvious that he is crying for himself and not Reeva at all?

 

[Carol70]

Lol, even I know SA like to take their time with things but this is beyond ludicrous.

Am surprised half the court isnt sobbing with frustration right now

 

[Tennlyn]

Umm...did he just say that he appreciates a person is dead, but that isn't enough to conclude someone is violent?

 

[LJKaust]

I would be crying for myself too!

 

[otyikondo]

Now he's ripping Botha a new one for not getting medical reports...

Well, if there's a seven YEAR wait for toxicology reports, I'm not frigging surprised he couldn't get any report to say OP was barking-mad in the space of a week...

 

[cityslick]

Can't find that he's predispostioned to violence.

This will be some reversal if he doesn't get bail at this point IMO.

 

[21merc7]

16:09 - Nair the accused has shown tendencies of aggression. Not in dispute he threatened to break someone's legs.

16:08 - Nair: I cannot find that it has been established that the accused is a flight risk.

 

[Alyce]

Barry Bateman tweeting that it is coming to a conclusion now

he has more faith than me obviously !

 

[cityslick]

Cmon Nair, 15 more minutes and we'll make a cool 2 hours.

 

[otyikondo]

Cmon Nair, 15 more minutes and we'll make a cool 2 hours.

I think he's going for Bruce Springsteen's record... 4 hours five minutes in Helsinki last July..
(I was there - it was a better gig than this one... ) :banghead::banghead:

 

[21merc7]

The leg breaking threat shows that OP has some unresolved insecurity issues (understandable), along with a flashing temper. JMO

 

[otyikondo]

"And so, ladies and gentlemen, in summation... I plan to toss this coin, this gold Krugerrand. Heads he gets bail, tails he doesn't".

 

[shadowdancer]

Frankly, in the time that this judge has spent droning on, Pistorius could have been put on trial, sentenced to life, served his sentence and been released again.
