Oscar Pistorius: Is the actions of the SCA effectively legalising Disability Discrimination?
The fact that Oscar was on his stumps was according to the SCA of no consequence. To make such a determination is in direct contradiction to its own equality legislation. The SCA therefore in my opinion, in issuing this judgement have violated the legislation the are duty bound to uphold, enshrine and lead by example. Their ruling also sets a precedent that disability can never be considered a factor in a crime. It endorses the position in law that a person without legs effectively has the same level of mobility as a person who is able bodied, that a person without legs can not be considered in any way to be more vulnerable than a person with full mobility.
The SCA determined that Oscar was responsible for the murder of a person whose identity was unknown to Oscar. They further determined that the assumption that this person may be dangerous was an irrational assumption on Oscar's part. Using the same reasonable man test it would imply that a blind person would be viewed the same as a fully sighted person.
