Oscar Pistorius - Sentencing - 7.6.2016

[Cloen]

This is a stinking, steaming pile of BS and I'm very angry.

Please someone tell me that Pros can , no WILL appeal this.

I don't think it will be appealed

 

[Paul Connelly]

APPEAL!!!! Do it now Nel!

 

[mrjitty]

She is of a view that a long term of imprisonment will not serve justice

Madness!

So why does the legislature impose a 15 year mandatory minimum?


Justice for Murder by statutory definition carries a long sentence!

 

[Chelly]

Nel will appeal, yet again.

 

[JudgeJudi]

I'm speechless, totally speechless.

 

[mirage1]

And Masipa does not disappoint. what a disgrace.

 

[cottonweaver]

BBM - Boo hoo... all due to his own illegal actions.

This was predicted though - "his loss" etc

 

[BritsKate]

The Judge has proven once again that she is not capable of

a) processing evidence at trial
b) understanding the law e.g. as per the SCA judgement

c) Impartiality.

Open season on wives and girlfriends in South Africa.

 

[katydid23]

I don't think it will be appealed

I don't either.

 

[Giles]

The NPA said they would appeal if a sentence of less than 8 years was handed down, if I remember correctly.

 

[patCee]

IIRC Nel said he would appeal if less than 8 years imposed.

 

[KarenUK]

Utter disgrace.... I'm speechless.

Open season on wives and girlfriends in South Africa.

as long as you
- get a dud judge
- go on tv
- tell lies so u rile up the public
- make repeated approaches to victim's family

 

[Cloen]

Any Appeal will be heard today
so they're not completely leaving Court

 

[kaos]

Does the appeal go to another judge or does Masipa hear any appeal?

 

[Estelle]

IMO it will have to be appealed!

 

[Cloen]

Pistoruis looked like he wanted to hug and thank her

 

[Sherbert]

Passive aggressive towards the public methinks.

 

[mrjitty]

Outrageous

There is no other word for it.

Would any other killer get time reduced because "they probably won't do it again"

LOL
