What are you all predicting for Thursday?
Sadly, I am still stuck with dolus eventualis- which i went for back in spring, even though in my heart it is directus.
Whilst I bow to the superior knowledge of this legal expert you have linked to, I don't believe it will be CH.
Way back when we had a poll we were asked what we thought the outcome would be. Even though I had no doubt in my mind that it was premeditated murder (the screaming between shots sealed that for me), I felt that because of who he was and how allowances are always made for him and that the trial was in SA that he would probably get CH. I still think that is possible but it doesn't please me. If he does, it will be because Masipa and her assessors didn't have enough unequivocal evidence to make the other two charges stick. If he gets CH I hope it is the full 15 years but, hey-ho, it is Oscar Pistorius so anything could happen.
