Oscar Pistorius - Discussion Thread #67 *Appeal Verdict*

[JudgeJudi]

Nel says it borders on DD.

 

[soozieqtips]

OP shooting daggers at Nel.

 

[JudgeJudi]

OP finds it amusing when Nel says he has links with Italy (re possibility of absconding).

 

[KarenUK]

Oh God. Judge saying for OP to stay in house all day amounts to punishment?

What planet are we on that being forced to stay at home is suitable for a convicted murderer? A 10k radius is waaaaay to lenient

You just could not make this up. To make someone stay in a luxury house all day while awaiting sentence for murder amounts to punishment?
