Sounds like he is going ok, Judge believes he was after an intruder?
-
Not guilty
gee and i thought our legal system was pathetic
-

Of the murder charges but could still go for culpable homicide (similes to our manslaughter laws)
Have to say I am staggered.
-
wow manslaughter, woopy doo
Ive seen how that goes down in our country
-
Naturally it goes without saying someone sitting half a world away reading snippets in the media can form a much more informed decision than the bloke who sat through the trial listening to all the evidence.
The thought of ever been tried by a jury is truly terrifying
-
Was it not all on tv
So,you could be as informed as the jury
If you GAF

Should draft him as an international rookie. Has good pace, a nice spring and he can keep his feet .........in our property room.

if the entire telecast was on tv.
if someone sat down and watched the whole trial
if that person did not have a pre formed opinion and was able to evaluate all evidence at hand in a rational manner rather than ignore facts that did suit their prejudice.
if that person had an understanding of the mechanisms of law, in particular presumption of innocence and beyond reasonable doubt, two of the cornerstones of a so called civilised legal system,
then yes perhaps they could make a decision as informed as the judge's ( i dont believe that this was a trial by jury)
but then again, if your aunty had balls......

Reckon there are a few blokes around the world thinking of getting a gun for protection today............
-
So,you could be as informed as the jury
there is no jury
The Judge is the sole arbitraitor

FYI
The judge said that Mr Pistorius, 27, could and should have phoned the police or the private security guards who patrolled his estate before he opened fire, making it all but certain that she will convict him of culpable homicide (manslaughter), which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years, when the hearing resumes today.
He could also face lengthy prison sentences for three separate firearms charges, including illegal possession of ammunition and firing a friend’s pistol in a crowded Johannesburg restaurant.

Maybe not now.
-
why not?
-
still show more life than Hampson
-
There is also no minimum sentence so could also walk - judges call.
Some of the judges interpretations of the evidence have been staggering...+ She stipulates that "it couldnt have been her screaming bc she would've died from the bullet wound instantly instantly" - so she couldn't have been screaming before he pulled the trigger? Not conceivable he chased her around the house and then she ran into the bathroom screaming?
wow
-
Guilty of culpable homicide
Will is judge send him to jail
Farcical, staggering and bewildering to say the least
