Pats or Ania may help here - could you explain how having your fingers in the mouth of a dying person, is supposed to help them breathe - seems the opposite to me .........

Re: Oscar Pistorius
Have to say I think he's guilty, too for the reasons stated above. You would check where your partner was before letting loose with a weapon, surely!! Dragging her downstairs would not have helped her even if she hadn't been so badly hurt.Think he's playing the sympathy ticket, well I have no sympathy, yes we're all innocent 'til proven guilty in a court of law but we are entitled to our opinion based on court proceedings. Guilty as hell!!!!!

Joe thanks for the reply, I get what you are saying.
I'm not sure of his sanity at all - her head exploded !
Dragging her about was sick and could taint evidence also...

A neighbour walked in and found him with his fingers in her mouth ..... which he does not deny ...... it would certainly 'block' the airway, not help breathing .....

The OJ trial had a jury consisting of Blacks not only Blacks but middle aged females 6 of them divorced, 1 Puerto Rican and someone else.... and the victim was White.
The South African Court system is the Napoleon code, guilty unless you can prove you are innocent
Both high profile clebs so he will get away with it unless SA is not as corrupt as I think it is.
And the Judges are Black.... or are thy???
