Trial Discussion Thread #59 - 14.21.10, Day 48 ~ sentencing~

[KarenUK]

"No room to manouvre or escape, what is more, the accused knew this"

 

[kaos]

Hopefully she's just addressing one of the sentencing precedent's that Roux supplied and stating why she disagrees with that one in particular too. She said there were two that Roux had given that had valid points but dismissed others.

 

[soozieqtips]

Saying Foster didn't know there was someone on the roof. OP knew there was someone in the cubicle.

 

[Mamadoos]

I really need to go to the little girl's room but I can't move!!

 

[JudgeJudi]

4. In Foster, the intruder would have been able to escape. No so in this case.

 

[alioop]

She distinguishing the cases big time.

now it is swinging back the othe way - if we are all like this how must he feel

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Reeva's parents listening so intently, esp her father, please let them not be disappointed.

 

[OZe]

He's going down..fer sure!

 

[minor4th]

Rejects suggested sentence put forth by defense ...

 

[KarenUK]

Ok... Looks like its going to be more than a few hours of dusting, I suppose thats a start

 

[JudgeJudi]

Uncle Arnold not looking at all smug now. Smile wiped of his face. I hope it stays that way. We shall see.

Dadic: The only similarity between the cases then is the post fact remorse. The facts are almost polar opposite. No way sentence can be the same.

[zwiebel]

She's comparing the cases
One did know someone behind the door, one didn't.
One fired one shot, one fired four
one had aim to frighten away intruder, present case aim to shoot intruder
One case had opp to flee, present case opposite is tru, Intruder wld have had no room to escape
present case accused trained in firearms and intended to be a collector

The degree of negligence in this matter, sentence suggested by AV not appropriate.

 

[newone]

Op used noise as a way of saying a intruder was there...judge used noise against him

 

[AlexUK]

This judge is hard to read....

.....and hard to listen to...she's not a brilliant orator.

 

[sweetcaro]

SHe still has a few sheets on that stand! Come on! (Another who needs to pee!) I am still hoping for jail and think it is a possibility given her judgement so far.

#OscarTrial Masipa: considering the degree of negligence - the house arrest sentence would not be appropriate.
