Which is why we're talking about ppd. Shall I rephrase so there's no possible way you can misunderstand me? Though I'd have thought it was obvious what I meant. How many cases are you aware of where people have been convicted of murder for shooting an intruder or presumed intruder? I've not heard of any in sa. Cases where people have very deliberately attacked an intruder by beating them, say, but not a shooting in these sorts or circumstances.
Your "logic" makes no sense.
This case cannot be compared with any that had householders shooting intruders. That's because there were INTRUDERS. Real ones. Their presence and the way they behaved will have given the shooter reason to believe that he had to protect himself or his family.
Here there was neither an intruder, or any sensible reason to believe that there was OR that any "intruder" was about to attack.
Do you have an example of a man shooting his girlfriend/wife/daughter FOUR TIMES thinking it was an intruder hiding in a toilet?
Unless you can come up with something similar, then it's apples and oranges.
(And please don't use the doctor - he shot once when his wife came out of the toilet. A clearly automatic reaction, not a deliberate execution as in this case).
In the Pistorius case, there was no intruder, so no intruder like threats or intruder like behaviour. There was nothing.
And we can't even put it down to ..."Eeek, bang" like the doctor because for this murderer it was....."I don't want to shoot anyone, but, anyway....BANG (change position) BANG BANG BANG. Whoops".
Doesn't really work, does it?
That man wanted someone dead. And that someone was not threatening him. Hence murder.
