How is it that rhino poachers get 40 years for killing a rhino but OP gets 10 months for killing a woman?
I heard that bit about Sam Taylor getting locked in for hours.
If he CAN get bail I absolutely believe the Masipa would GRANT OP bail.
Why?
1. She can
2. She feels he's being unfairly picked on by the state in appealing
3. PERHAPS, to "put it to" the state for appealing (her verdict).
It's 4am here so excuse me if I've recalled incorrectly, but didn't OP claim to have said he had advised his cousin to not drive out to OP's place in his new vehicle? Was it on the calls from the 13th when that was supposed to have happened?
Why would a young man spend time(20+-? mins) talking to a male cousin instead of trying to sex up his hot new gf the night before Valentine's Day, unless it was all just a publicity stunt for both of them? The usual reason you would think, given his "******" morning news, would probably be money woes, but perhaps it had something to do with OP's feud with ST's millionaire and Batchelor?
He had had stitches previously due to his inability to let his previous ex go without a fight, even though he was already in a new public relationship, perhaps there had been some ongoing tit for tat going on that OP was scared might be coming "home" to roost that he was having his cousin help him with(weren't his cousins acting as bodyguards during the trial too?)? Heck, the whole JE thing could easily have stirred up some bad blood and not just between OP and RS, wasn't JE engaged to someone else at the time that OP may have been concerned about?
So looking at possible reasons for an argument, if OP was feeling guilty for whatever was going on between him and JE, then add to that RS's coffee with her ex, then the possible news that his lawsuit over the assault charges was still a problem and maybe even getting word that he might be getting dropped as a sponsor for whatever reason(poor loser, etc) and then to have RS with her new contract and a new tv show about to kick off(even if they weren't in a "real" relationship, the brand trumps all it seems and that wouldn't be good for his).... let's just say that A type personalities don't often do well in second place, it's black and white to them, win or lose.
Maybe the inside of the toilet has seen some "wood movement" after all...
No, I don't think this was about Greyvenstein and Divaris. They are, or were, not married, and Reeva said 'husband'.
I think it was clarified somewhere that she was talking about another friend of hers.
Thinking about it some more, if it was Divaris, she wouldn't have said "hitting on my friend Sam's husband". She would have said ""hitting on Justin".
At least he is allowed visitors with bags, just imagine those guys who spent years on the island. Some weren't even allowed visitors. The Steenkamps must visit ashes how sad!

Based on some of the descriptions of the bags being carried in and what his Dad was holding it appears a possibility that OP has: TV, DVD Player, and an XBox, PlayStation or similar device in his cell. Is that the norm I wonder? (Additionally: if Aimee addressing tweet to both he and Carl, maybe he has a computer or cell phone. Not such a big stretch after seeing photo in court when OP being led down stairs and Uncle slips phone into OP's hand - exchange caught in photo. But hopefully that was taken away at the jail, before heading to prison.)
Also appears, based on article LUX linked to, that he has met his "monthly visitor max" during one single Sat. (Although, perhaps since it states 4 visitors per month, and it being the end of the month in October....he received a clean slate starting Nov. 1st.)
Ok, only because there is a lull in Pistorius news and I had a spare 10 mins.
And yes I have been known to read the occasional Cosmo.

Thanks, now why in the world would OP have an almost 5 year old copy of that, anywhere in his house? Was he in that list of 101 and liked to reassure himself, or flaunt it?
Reminds me of that episode of Extras with Orlando Bloom....who was "accidentally" reading an article that said he was the world's sexiest man. "Just sooooooooo embarrassing" *fake eye roll*.
Hee hee
Pistorius strikes me as someone with very low self-esteem, (the root of narcissism, btw), especially when it comes to women...so yes, I bet he did hang on to it to pathetically show off with or reassure his little (huge) ego.

Who says they did? Isn't this hearsay reported by newspapers? I think it's enough for me to stick with speculation around the evidence presented in court otherwise I'll be into conspiracy theories which can lead anywhere, as anything becomes possible.
Why? Why would you grant him bail?
I'd hate to be one of his stoolies.Only he was makings stools and not magazine racks....................I'll get my coat:deadhorse:
Yes Mr Fossil, it is allowed for by s 321 of the Criminal Procedure Act:
321 When execution of sentence may be suspended
(1) The execution of the sentence of a superior court shall not be suspended by reason of any appeal against a conviction or by reason of any question of law having been reserved for consideration by the court of appeal, unless-
(a) ......
[Para. (a) deleted by s. 2 of Act 33 of 1997.]
(b) the superior court from which the appeal is made or by which the question is reserved thinks fit to order that the accused be released on bail or that he be treated as an unconvicted prisoner until the appeal or the question reserved has been heard and decided
