Well, I guess a little shot of brandy couldn't hurt. Purely for medicinal purposes, mind you!

Have one for me. .. make it two.

We all know they had a fight, she ran to the bathroom to get away from him, she was screaming and hiding from him, and in a fit of rage he blew four holes into that room...................and you wonder why lawyers are the most hate profession.

Judge certainly has her doubts.

Can you pass the bottle over this way for a sec? Pretty lease:

Pass some over this way - I'll drink it with my beer.

Judge reading case examples of dolus eventualis, culpable homicide and example of straightforward murder

 

[DebinGA]

I like that m'lady has noted several times OP's gun was "ready to shoot".

 

[zwiebel]

Here you go folks, share.

 

[sorrell skye]

My Lady is quoting the same law that we've been discussing here for months!

 

[believe09]

Is she holding the door to an open season on intimate partner homicide? As long as there is an "OP" defense? We can hold that discussion for now, obviously. But just wonderin...

 

[zwiebel]

Judge now talking about current SA law on the matter of criminal liability. How accused must foresee reasonable possibility of death

 

[mister happy]

Culpable homicide is 15 years plus the firearm charges.

From what I've read, the sentence for culpable homicide is up to the judge, and the firearm sentences run concurrently.

 

[ColonelMustard]

Reeva would have been one heck of an assessor, which I understand she wanted to do.

 

[minor4th]

Putative private defense ...

 

[zwiebel]

J: We are clearly dealing with 'error in personae'...blow struck and killed person behind door...who it was, is irrelevant...the accused had intention to shoot but says did not intend to kill....

 

[buntspecht]

Here you go folks, share.

looks like as in a bar. Looks good to me!
(I remember you having other image been upside down)

 

[HauntsForHope]

error in persona - meant for the person behind the door. that the person behind the door turned out to be Reeva is irrelevant

 

[ColonelMustard]

she'd better take into account black talon, small bathroom, and his skill as a gunman plus admitted ricochet, plus 4 shots vs one.

 

[PrimeSuspect]

dot, dot, dot

 

[jslk]

A whole lot of talk about whether he meant to kill whoever was behind the door. It doesn't matter it was in fact Reeva, that's now immaterial.

Judge says culpability is the issue, according to case law on putative self defense

She is coming in with a guilty on this, I think....
