It doesn't get more insulting does it? Unless Masipa thinks it's too harsh and reduces it to one day a month.
Did I hear correctly: Maringa suggested 2 days a month cleaning a museum for 3 years? Really? I mean REALLY?
I think Nel will get his testimony thrown out as he clearly had no idea what the case was about.

Catching up here...
In my view, Masipa had a legal duty to correct social worker Maringa, put the true finding of the court to Maringa (that OP intentionally fired the shots) and ask if he withdraws his recommendation.
The bits Maringa failed to read in the judgement:
It would be absurd, for instance, to infer from the accused conduct, that he was going to hit the intruder over the head with it, as he could have easily used a cricket bat for that purpose.
The accused clearly wanted to use the firearm and the only way he could have used it was to shoot at the perceived danger. The intention to shoot however does not necessarily include the intention to kill.
i don't think so. this is the case where credible witness testimony gets thrown out.
it is a courtroom, but still can't work out whether i am seeing live gross incompetence, or live unconcealed corruption.
Where are they gonna put the ankle bracelet for the house arrest?
She totally ignored it, she was only interested in what chores he would do.
From the Guardian blog:
From South Africa, AFP is reporting that if Oscar Pistorius is given a sentence of house arrest, it may cause resentment:
A non-custodial sentence would be likely to spark public anger, fuelling a perception among black South Africans that, 20 years after the end of apartheid, wealthy whites can still secure preferential justice.
“At the end of the day a young lady was killed and someone should pay for it,” said 57-year-old Mildred Lekalakala, a member of the Women’s League of the ruling African National Congress.
I thought she was gonna ask OP to stand up there and then, and ask him if he preferred to mop the floor or do the weeds...
