[atthelake]

WHAT!!!???? :thud:

 

[kaydono]

J Masipa believes that after the first shot in the hip, Reeva was unable to scream or make a sound.

Gotcha, thanks for the clarity. I had to step away and make my son some fried eggs and toast for breakfast. Good Mommy <pats self on back>

 

[minor4th]

Accused did not foresee that firing through the door would kill Reeva

 

[zwiebel]

Judge now talking about how quickly OP said he did ot mean to kill and was 'consistent' in that.

J: How could accused reasonably have foreseen shot wld kill deceased....he could NOT!!!!!!!!

 

[LemonMousse]

Culpable homicide

 

[ColonelMustard]

On this, she is being soooooooo naive.

 

[kaydono]

Time served? if so... um... wow

 

[Jim Kirk]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

She said the person behind the door, not Reeva... So that's CH out as well!?

 

[Suthrnqt]

J: evidence does not support state's contention of Dolus eventualis..saying because OP told ppl straight afterward he did not mean to kill Reeva, it's evidence he did not...

Really?

 

[Interested Bystander]

I wonder if Nel will appeal?

 

[jimmy73]

WOW. I'd probably look genuinely distraught if I killed someone, irrespective of how that came to occur.

 

[ColonelMustard]

He didn't foresee it?????????

 

[zoran]

hes gonna walk

 

[minor4th]

Accepts accused's version as true and reliable that he believed his life was in danger

 

[sweetcaro]

Please appeal Nel. Please. I am speechless.

 

[LemonMousse]

I am appalled.

 

[PrimeSuspect]

early lunch.

 

[minor4th]

So far not guilty of murder

 

[Interested Bystander]

I think the Judge and Assessors have conveniently ignored material facts. That I find very worrying.

All along (even though I think he knowingly killed RS) I always thought CH would be the verdict and I have my reasons.

 

[Jim Kirk]

Sounds like they're going to adjourn until 1:30
