"May I remind you this verdict was unanimous - all those judges think he's a liar" David Dadic.

10 - I think that will be decisive in whether he tries to appeal again - if he gets a "bearable" sentence (eg 3 years real time)

11 - if she goes hard on him say 7-10 years real time - I can't see him accepting it.

#PistoriusAppeal Am with retired Judge Greenland who says as obscene as it appears - whatever sentence OP gets will be reduced by 5 yrs
2. A litigant who is aggrieved by the decision of a court and who wishes to appeal against it directly to the Court on a constitutional matter shall, within 15 days of the order against which the appeal is sought to be brought and after giving notice to the other party or parties concerned, lodge with the Registrar an application for leave to appeal: Provided that where the President has refused leave to appeal the period prescribed in this rule shall run from the date of the order refusing leave.
Time served if I'm not wrong, not time as yet unserved under house arrest, so I'm expecting 1 year off
Bad news for all wannabee murderers. Sorry, but you can't cite anxiety as a legitimate excuse for killing someone. Thank God the right decision was made. Masipa sought to minimise the murder as a genuine (although reckless) mistake. She also sought to minimise Reeva's character when she described her as 'good in front of a camera'. I sincerely hope she doesn't allow her feelings about having her judgment criticised to cloud her mind when handing down a new sentence. She did a bad job, and because of her errors she put Reeva's family through even more turmoil.
Here are the Rules of the Constitutional Court
http://www.constitutionalcourt.org.za/site/thecourt/rulesofthecourt.htm
Section 19 deals with Appeals. 19.2 suggests the Defence has 15 days to lodge an application to appeal?
It goes back to her as far as I know. I agree it should go to someone else.Did they say specifically that Masipa had to do the re-sentencing? I am hoping since she retired it may go to another HC judge.
15 days from when, today or January after the sentence is announced?
