Kevin Lerena interview
OP told KL, a friend who “betrayed” him, he was “terrified” of returning to prison days before he was convicted of murdering Reeva. I’m sure there would be few who look forward to returning to prison, but why would he be terrified? He’s already spent close to a year there and he came to no harm at all. It appears that everything “terrifies” OP, even a noise. If a mere sound causes him to murder someone, under no circumstances should he be anywhere other than prison or in a mental institution.
'He broke down as he revealed he is haunted by the prospect of being sent back to such a "disgusting, terrible" place'.
This is retribution for murder. What did he expect, a comfy suite with a scenic view from his cell? I’m unaware of any other prisoners who have their own private bath. Certainly none of the journalists who went on the guided tour of the prison mentioned seeing any other inmate who enjoyed this special privilege. Of course we know that OP is 'special', and so do the family - except when something happens that’s not to their liking, e.g. he wasn’t released after serving 1/6 of his sentence as the decision to release him under correctional supervision was made before he’d served the requisite period. The family bleated “This experience leaves us with the uncomfortable conclusion that the public, political and media hype that was allowed to develop around Oscar's trial has undermined his right to be treated like any other prisoner". Of course he was never treated like any other prisoner. He had his own cell with a private bath. There are other amputees in that same prison who share a cell with 37 prisoners.
In an emotional phone call to KL, he said, “I don’t want to go back to jail. It’s a terrible place, so disgusting you can’t imagine”. I say, “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time” (don’t do something risky unless you are willing and able to accept the full weight of the consequences, and OP never accepts responsibility for anything).
OP, said he felt betrayed by KL after he gave evidence against him during his murder trial. He said OP is depressed, has lost all interest in training and women – and suggested he might ‘do something stupid’ rather than go back to prison. He fears for OP's life after his incarceration left him ‘so low and without anything to live for'. So OP “felt” betrayed – lucky him. Reeva was betrayed. She felt those Black Talons rip through her flesh and then they destroyed her brain. If he “feels” so low and without anything to live for, he should try remembering that Reeva has no life. Full stop.
‘He has been left so down and broken by just one year inside, I don’t even want to think about what is going to happen to him if he goes back for any longer. I don’t think he will be able to handle it’.
After handling it for a year and emerging unscathed, there’s no reason to suspect further years will cause him to come to any harm either.
‘I am just worried he is going to do something stupid. He just seems to have given up on life’.
He’s done many stupid things in the past, e.g. the Vaal River boating accident and nodding off at the wheel, completely destroying one side of his car in the process, after setting off for Vicky Miles’ home from his at 3am after they’d had a blistering row.
'I know they don’t let them have anything in jail that they can harm themselves with, but, you know, this is South Africa, and you can buy stuff you want, even in jail.’
One can always succeed in that endeavour if that’s the true goal.
The friendship soured after the incident at Tashas just weeks before OP murdered Reeva –when OP accidentally discharged a gun under a table, the bullet narrowly missing KL’s foot. This resulted in OP being charged later with firearms offences and KL was called to give evidence on behalf of the State. To expect another person, let alone a friend, to not tell the truth in court about the incident when it was OP's gross negligence is totally shocking.
Even during their charged reconciliation after OP was released from prison into house arrest, OP was still upset at what he felt was his old friend’s ‘betrayal’. ‘Oscar told me how let down he had felt because I had testified against him. I explained that I didn’t have any choice, that I had been subpoenaed to give evidence and that it had been hard for me to do it. But he wouldn’t accept it. He insisted that I could have refused to do it’.
The world is not devoid of decent individuals who have morals and a sense of propriety. OP is not one of them. His sense of entitlement, arrogance and callousness in making his one-time friend feel guilty for doing the right thing is disgusting. As mentioned in the previously posted lists, sociopaths do not accept blame themselves, but blame others, even for acts they obviously committed.
‘He told me I wasn’t the only friend to have let him down, he was very upset that a lot of friends have dropped him and walked away. He thought people would be there for him, but they haven’t been. He just sounded so lonely and sad. Friends were very important to Oscar.'
Friends, what friends? Not one friend testified in mitigation for him. No doubt they know, just as we know, he’s a lying, heinous and now convicted murderer.
'He just kept saying how low he felt, how tired he was. He kept talking about how hard prison had been for him. He has obviously been completely broken by it. He seemed despondent – as if there was no point in training because he didn’t have any future in sport. I was expecting him to want to get back into shape straight away. It’s as if he has just given up on it. He’s in a terrible space.'
“Completely broken”. No, we saw the convicted murderer smirking and smiling after being granted bail. He looked like someone who’d just been acquitted of a crime. The ‘terrible space’ is the cell which is awaiting his inevitable return.
OP told him, 'I can’t think about anything else right now apart from what’s coming up next for me, it’s big’. He added, 'He seemed to know that the odds were against him.'
I hope it’s big too ... 15 years or more behind bars before he’s let loose from prison.
‘I asked him straight out – was there anyone in his life now that he was out? He said straight away "not at all, far from it”. He was quite firm about that. He told me how much he loved Reeva and how much he still missed her. He really sounded in pain about it. He said he thought about her all the time”.
I bet he thinks of Reeva all the time too, but not with any remorse or compassion. In his warped and twisted mind, his whole situation is entirely due to Reeva, to wit:
Nel: If you waited, you would not have fired. Am I right?
OP: I am not sure about a second, Reeva would come out or she would spoken to me or... then I
would not have fired.
Yeah, right. Blame the poor defenceless dead victim for her own death at his hand.
'I know that his religion has now become very important to him, I hope it pulls him through this.’
As OP said during the trial, “I was crying out for the Lord to help me”. To help him, not Reeva.
I screamed, ‘Help! Help! Help!’ I screamed for somebody to help me. To help him, not Reeva.
Oh, wait, OP is the victim. Barry Roux told us so.
OP: I mean there have been times that I have just been... just struggling a lot and my God is my God of refuge.
If only Reeva had a refuge, refuge from the devil that OP truly is.
'I asked Oscar outright what had gone on. He told me "God knows what really happened that night". He said he didn’t feel he had to justify his actions to anyone as he and God knew the true story’.
And we know the true story too.
Apologies for the length. I've been stewing over this since I first read the article.
