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

[LemonMousse]

5 years for CH, nothing suspended.

Are either side going to appeal?

 

[PrimeSuspect]

no jail time

 

[Really?]

5 years in prison? Yay.... That will be good

 

[Purra]

5 years???? That's it???? WOW

 

[zwiebel]

Nel now talking to judge about arms and ammo act.....he's correcting judge!

 

[sweetcaro]

5 years and is that with no reduction (apart from what is granted by law, good behaviour etc)? I thought he would get 5 but with 3 suspended.

Travesty what BS :thinking:

 

[katydid23]

More than I thought he was going to get.

 

[OZe]

Yes he's going for five, possibly parole after 2.5?

 

[LemonMousse]

I think he's been sentenced to 5 years in prison.

 

[Aika]

Remember - 5 year sentence means he could be free after not much more than 2 years. #OscarPistorius

[kaos]

Is Nel going for a ban on future use of firearms?

 

[lithgow1]

Barry Bateman @barrybateman · now
#OscarTrial #OscarPistorius sentenced to five years for culpable homicide; three years, (wholly suspended) for the Tashas shooting.

so, Tashas is suspended, CH not.

 

[KarenUK]

Ok - he's loosing his precious guns, thats a start I suppose.

 

[zwiebel]

N: In terms of section 103 reads....

Oh, think Nel making case for OP losing gun license?

 

[PrimeSuspect]

that's right Nel, he used the gun in Tasha's and he used it to kill Reeva!! he should never own a gun imo!

 

[ColonelMustard]

This feels very anti-climatic.

 

[OZe]

Nel is happy. No appeals coming.

 

[jimmy73]

No appeals. Hmmm
