....the self-pity party being thrown by querulous criminals who feel prison isn’t fair, because they are the real victims.
.....craven sympathy-seeker Oscar Pistorius.
It was pathetic, but for all the wrong reasons...
He has bleated about the hardships of jail, and his lawyers have brought in a psychologist to plead that he is “too depressed” to return to prison and ought to be in hospital instead.
And yet he claims, insultingly, to be “traumatised by the sound of gunfire”. What next? The Yorkshire Ripper complaining about stabbing-related wrist injuries? Jihadis suing for hurt feelings? It beggars believe that one of Pistorius’ legal team had the temerity – the venality – to even stand up and say something so crass aloud...
...his manipulative courtroom transition from pitiless killer to pitiful cripple will, I sincerely hope, do him more harm than good.
.....cringeworthy grandstanding, like Pistorius.
