Pistorius DON'T get away with Murder

[rebel11]

Apparently he will only serve 10 months, then house arrest, they won't appeal.

 

One of the defence witnesses screwed up. Otherwise there would be no jail

time whatsoever.

[rebel11]

Lots of other factors at play, his state of mind at the time, 'fight or flight', he didn't have his prosthetics etc.

 

seems prob how a jury wld've viewed it. but no jury in SA.

4 shots does seem an intent to kill. otherwise maybe one warning shot, call the missus to call the police (but, she was in the bathroom! not beside him in bed). if the 'burglar' then opens the door comes out, then yes open fire.

but, who knows what actually happened. apart from the 'wimpering' pistorius.

[rebel11]

They probably didn't realize the importance or significance, the deeper they went into it, the bigger it became. The whole trial was hap-hazard.

 

yes, his GAD for eg, that was later introduced not at the beginning.

[rebel11]

Conniff, that's well below the belt.

 

It should have been life for murder after all, when you look into it, he didn't have a leg to stand on.

[rebel11]

The police didn't help the prosecutions case, the lead officer got removed, the scene of the crime was disturbed, his personal possessions were stolen by the police, etc There is so much wrong, even in the UK, the case against him would have failed.

[rebel11]

The prosecution, the police failed, they want a 'second chance'.

 

so, he 'got away with it'

[rebel11]

They want the max.

 

seems the appeal can only be re if the j erred, not re the case itself ie a poss retrial.

at best, a slight increase in sentence. imo.

still 'got away with it'
