Does that mean it's now down to did he kill a person behind the door rather than Reeva specifically?

 

[AlexUK]

I keep wondering why Bet Lynch is in court.....

 

[Really?]

this is sooooooooooo confusing........

 

[believe09]

That is a disappointment to me.

 

[katydid23]

I think she is going to let him off the hook on murder, too....

 

[leda]

[K.T]

Sorry, my computer is playing up or we're overloaded! This was a double post..but what a break, tense...just before we see if Judge disregards eventualis...

 

[PrimeSuspect]

did OP have intention to kill who was behind the door, so Masipa accepted OP didn't know it was Reeva.

[Suthrnqt]

this is sooooooooooo confusing........

That's how I feel, too.

 

[zoran]

That's the big one out of the way, not guilty count 1. now for the rest..

"The simple conclusion is that the accused did not intend to kill the deceased. Let alone with premeditation. I am here talking about direct intention. The State has not proved beyond reasonable doubt premeditation murder."

Now Judge talks about error in persona or...oh a 5min break!

I think so.

 

[HauntsForHope]

there wasn't enough evidence to prove premeditation, but it sounds like culpable homicide.

Take comfort though, you are in a club with a very large membership.

 

[HauntsForHope]

Culpable homicide is 15 years plus the firearm charges.

 

[LemonMousse]

Well - she was heading in this direction with the dismissal of the ear witness testimony.

Murder is still on the cards.

Judge seemed to be about to say Nel was wrong about his "even if he didn't know it was RS, he knew it was a person" argument .... that "transferred malice" isn't the law in SA.
