Hopefully I’ll have time tomorrow to upload a section of the book where Trish T. talks about him leaving for the Olympics. He phoned her after the race (the one he lost) and was completely out of it. She was very worried.

I uploaded the letter OP sent to Trish and Samantha during that time - you’ll get a clear picture of how messed up he was: http://cl.ly/Xses In case you don’t want to download - direct link to PDF: http://f.cl.ly/items/2c2L0C1c273i2u0L0r0D/AWTH-letter.pdf

I’ve been thinking: we were discussing today that Masipa gave him 5 years (the CH) and 3 suspended (Tasha). Conditon was no gun related crime. Someone (sorry, I can’t remember who) came with a very valid point that it doesn’t make sense - how can OP commit a gun related crime...

I saw him on TV after the sentencing today. He said it was not fair for OP. They asked him: "What about fairness for the Steenkamps?" He said: "I’m not talking about the Steenkamps".

I didn’t know that if the State appeals then OP can get a bail and be out waiting for the new judgement

Kim Martin's thoughts on this article: Kim Martin @dailymaverick @RanjeniM always such an accurate account of events, said so well... Thank you. https://twitter.com/kimberleycpt/status/524654734331092992

I feel the same - I have never wanted OP to suffer, but I want him to face up to what he did. The poor in SA prisons suffer - the rich "buy" their privileges. I believe OP will do what the rich have done before him - buy himself a bearable time. Nothing will change for the poor I’m afraid.

Prof. Grant: IMO: Today's sentence was well reasoned as a sentence for Culp, but inconsistent with reasoning of verdict - which Nel may appeal. https://twitter.com/CriminalLawZA/status/524606037849280513

OP is tired and tense. Has been visited by a psychologist and chaplain (Radio 702).
