Didn't catch the professors name on Oscar radio, but they are saying that he has said that the judge has made a mistake in her interpretation of the law, especially surrounding that he couldn't perceive he could kill the person behind the door.
Did Judge Greenland explain why he believes it was problematical?
And then there are the great unwashed here, armed only with our common sense, who know this result is clearly wrong, even if perhaps technically legal.
He's being tried in a court of law, so yes, legal technicalities are all that's relevant. Beyond that, my common sense tells me a different story than your common sense. Which is why law trumps over the anarchy of common sense.
BIB, well exactly .. so you've just shot yourself in the foot there, with what you previously said.
Yes Professor Tuson.Didn't catch the professors name on Oscar radio, but they are saying that he has said that the judge has made a mistake in her interpretation of the law, especially surrounding that he couldn't perceive he could kill the person behind the door.
We. Told. You. All of us "Oscar supporters". The evidence has NEVER supported what the majority on this forum concluded. Ever. You should have spent less time telling us we were weak minded and more time finding empathy and understanding human behaviour.
OK, I'll say it.
Do you think they got to Masipa like they got to Frank?
No need. The judge has already proven my logic was sound all along.
OK, I'll say it.
Do you think they got to Masipa like they got to Frank?
Is it possible this is where she's heading and he gets off completely?? No joke?
Is it me or her body language has been a bit nervous, the way she keeps drinking water? She even misread the word toilet 'bowl' for 'bowel'. Could it be possible just as some people here predicted all along that her verdict has been paid for? This is crazy.
Agreed.

I think the Pistorians on this thread have been wrong all along, and nothing I heard this morning changes my opinion. We merely need to add another wrong person to the list...Masipa. But in her case, it's inexcusable that she's applied the law wrongly. Inexcusable.
She got it right.
OJ Simpson.
Amanda Knox.
Pistorius.
Every single televised trial shows how corrupt or just plain stupid the justice system is, maybe i should stop hoping justice actually works.
