Trial Discussion Thread #51 - 14.11.9, Day 41 ~announcement of the verdict~

[believe09]

Holus Bolus?

WTH?

Or Hocus Pocus...either/or

 

[Zim]

pardon for askin'. Is it just me or does it seem as if MiLady is reding her verdict notes for the first time....?

J: ...his bathroom not fitted with security, again, this is not unique....accused would not have been exoected to run from danger but....all he had to do was pick up phone and call security, or scream from balcony...there is no reason why he should have picked up gun and go to bathroom...

 

[Peliman]

Umm, Peli, I don't think your 'beauty sleep' worked...............

 

[zwiebel]

J: significant that accused had window open - he was nearer balcony than bathroom

 

[jay-jay]

Me either - especially when it concerns the outcome of a trial in the horrific death of a young woman.

I think glee at a time like this is vulgar and entirely inappropriate.

Couldn't agree more, sorrell.

#oscartrial Masipa says accused could have called for help in less time it took to shoot through the door.

 

[Trooper]

basically.. she is saying he was stoopid not to call Standar, or run to the balcony before shooting the living bejesus out of Reeva behind a closed door...

 

[Suthrnqt]

Sorry, what?

No-one questioned this judge during the trial. People here were gleeful thinking of how this tough, fair judge would come down hard on OP. Now she hasn't suddenly she has been bought, or is biased? Please...

Most of us here have questioned the judge's behavior throughout the trial. We were concerned that she wasn't getting it.

 

[zwiebel]

Judge now talking about OP's mother's paranoia argument from Roux, she agrees his behaviour may be 'better understood' through that but it does NOT excuse it.

 

[CoverMeCagney]

Just switched on, judge seems to be going on and on....
So, websleuths - what's the outcome gonna be?

 

[LaLaw2000]

I'm pretty much sick of the 'howevers'.

Not so. We did question her.

J: if accused had wokenin middkeof night, for example seen a figure and shot, then fnd it was deceased, that wld have been understandable...but this was not the case. He had time to act...reasonably.

I am not convinced a reasonable person...

 

[jslk]

I am not persuaded that a reasonable person with the same disabilities would have acted in the same way (paraphrase)

oh well.. She has conceded he was 'unreasonable ' to fire 4 shots into a closed door... .. it was reasonable to expect death from that action.. so much for the proposal that he wasn't shooting to kill..

Masipa: A reasonable person would have foreseen that the person in the toilet would be hit and possibly killed. #Pistorius

#oscartrial Masipa: accused knew there was person behind toilet door, chose to use firearm, he was competent as he'd been trained.

 

[Jim Kirk]

She just contradicted herself by saying him firing at the door would have known it could have hit or damaged someone!

 

[zwiebel]

J: In my view, all that is not really relevant (re type of ammo)

Says what is relevant is he was competant gunman

So surely that goes towards Eventualis? But she already disregarded...
