YES!!!!!!!!!!

They marched Oscar Pistorius DOWNSTAIRS!!!

 

[TartLemon]

How does SA sentencing work? How long will OP actually spend in prison?

 

[JudgeJudi]

Go to jail, directly to jail.

 

[east2west]

Yes. 5 years, though parole may make that stay a fair bit shorter.

As well as boatloads of Rand.

 

[jay-jay]

This 'man' took the life of a lovely young lady and he gets FIVE freakin' years???? UGHHHHHH

.. not even that .. 2 and a half .. it's disgusting.

#OscarTrial Pistorius has been led downstairs to the holding cells.

 

[OZe]

Gonna miss all you guys!

 

[Jake18]

It's the appeal process I'm most interested in.

 

[soozieqtips]

Okay. It's not what we'd hoped for in terms of length, but it's five years more than I honestly thought he was going to get.

 

[Ncl1968]

Is no one appealing ...does that mean op locked up today?

 

[Lux et Veritas]

Do those steps in the court lead down to hell?

I certainly hope so!!!!!!

 

[zwiebel]

I find myself relieved OP got anytime jail time at all. Unbelievable.

Whoop saying OP not getting time for any hugs. Taken straight down to cells.

Judge: Before I adjourn, I want to thank counsel, all the staff...and I wish to thank the gallery....

Adjourned

Has anyone got visual? What did OP look like when he heard?

He looked catatonic!

 

[sleuth-d-]

no sign of any appeal???

 

[delilah]

Five years minimum? Doesn't that mean no time off for good behaviour?

Five years, assume eligible for parole in two and a half.

 

[jimmy73]

I missed it. I looked away (at the work I should be doing) and he was gone.

She missed you zwiebel but I'm sure she would have offered her thanks to you knowing the service you done for us

To me, he didn't look like anything.

Oscar was pretty stoic throughout. Medicated today?
