Oscar Pistorius

It's hard not to compare this to the OJ Simpson trial, and as we know OJ got acquitted.
Of course all we know is what is broadcast by the media, but do you think he will be found guilty or not guilty?

Re: Oscar Pistorius

Haven't got a clue whether he was guilty or not, but from his "previous" with guns, it sounds like he was an accident waiting to happen.

I'd agree with that.

Guilty - his 'excuse' is too ludicrous .....

Re: Oscar Pistorius

I am undecided whether he will be found guilty or not. Some evidence is only what you have heard. My only worry in that evidence is that the guard who
patrols those posh houses shouted to him to ask if everything was OK
when he had heard gunshots. Oscar allegedly said OK.
Even though it would seem she was shot with about 4 bullets.
I agree with what Mick stated that he was an accident waiting to happen
and with total disregard about anyone else at that point of seeing red.
Someone should have taken that control earlier as it seems quite obvious
he was unable to do so himself. Poor Reeva got what a lot of others knew
might happen. So whether it was murder or just the red mist of stupidness
we will have to wait and see.
If he does go to prison I cant see him lasting long in there.

Re: Oscar Pistorius

The 'act' in the court is pathetic.
Would any of us, go to a locked bathroom and start shooting without checking with your partner first !

Re: Oscar Pistorius

The whole think is odd to me
I don't know all the details and may have missed something.

Ok, a man wakes up in the night in bed with his partner, he thinks there is an intruder.
What is the first thing most people would do.The natural reaction surely is to turn to the partner and to say 'wake up/wait there/ ring the police' and if the partner is found not to be there it bed there is a good chance they are in the bathroom.

Re: Oscar Pistorius

One cannot tell from this distance whether he is guilty or not. I have a feeling though he will walk on some technicality or other.
