They should lock Oscar in with this guy:

 

[Super Natural]

Ouch, such a hot chick and that's what he penetrates her with?

Do you think he's going down Super Nat?

Hard to tell what the outcome will be in court at this early stage, Oscar has come  across as a real cowboy though! (shooting  a gun through a sun roof in a moving car, verbally abusing/threatening people, shouting at police, shooting a gun in a restaurant and letting his friend take the rap) There are still a lot of witnesses to go through still... so far the defense lawyer and the state have questioned people... including: a doctor who was at the scene & security from the his housing estate, a scorned ex-girlfriend (who he cheated on), the pathologist who did the autopsy (which they did not air live due to graphic nature and respect to Reeva's family) plus a "friend" who was at the restaurant and was also in the car during the shooting.

His defense lawyer, Barry Roux (although irritating) is doing a great job at chipping away at witnesses testimonies and discrediting them. Initially you think Oscar is fucked, but then Roux finds holes in their stories (things that don't match up with previous statements or inconsistencies - anything to create doubt in the judges mind.

One thing Oscar like to associate with shady characters it seems, people who would condone his behaviour and not call him on it…he was a ticking time bomb.

lol at his little legs.   

[Nails]

Bloody 6pack of peace 

[Melkor]

I WOULD NOT HIT

Oscar's condition is congenital, hence the family DNA is faulty somewhere down the line, I do not want a kid with no legs...imagine a mixed race kid who can't run, that's like a jew with no savings or a chinky crap at maths.

Classic meltdown, killed her in a fit of rage. They probably fought, she probably made fun of him being only half a man, and this was all it took. He attempted to reclaim his masculinity in a fit of rage and gunfire.  GUILTY!

Oscar reminds me of the typical American Gun Nutter, obsessed with guns and eternally afraid and fearful, this is the only other explanation, his paranoid fear spiralled out of control and it overtook his common sense and reason. And what do gun nutters do when they feel fear? They grab their guns and start shooting.

Ah, getbig's resident woman chimes in

lol @ referring to yourself as a woman.

His future is looking grim:

She said:
Pistorius was in tears as the messages were read aloud in the Pretoria court - one of them from the model to the athlete read: 'I'm scared of you sometimes and how you snap at me'.

He said:
‘I was upset you that you just left me after we got food to go talk to a guy and I was standing right behind you watching you touch his arm and ignore me and when I spoke up you introduced me which you could’ve done but when I left you just kept on chatting to him when clearly I was upset.'
Insecure criple

Earlier today a neighbour of Pistorius testified that she heard gunshots, screaming and then a second set of gun shots on the night that the runner fatally shot Steenkamp.
 
Anette Stipp's testimony matched some of the evidence given by other witnesses earlier in the trial who said they also heard a woman screaming around the time that Pistorius killed Steenkamp before dawn on February 14, 2013.

the more damning the evidence, the more likely he will get off. Thats the way it works for the rich and famous generally.

I think he's going to be found guilty, normally these celebrities/athletes get away with it because of the smallest of loopholes and inconsistencies.

But in this case, there's not much argument as to a deliberate action when it's just two people in a house, one behind a locked door (a bathroom at 2am no less) who gets blasted several times by a guy with a known bad temper and a love of guns.

I find it very hard to believe that his lawyers can argue him out of this one.

[Skorp1o]

Firstly SA, is different than the US...money talks louder in the US.

Secondly, this guy just put himself in such a situation that it's difficult for him to provide any credible story, being in a house with only one other person and you shoot and kill that person, you're life is over.

The most crucial difference between the two countries is South Africa does not legally permit a person to shoot an intruder in their home. Most U.S. states do, and those that don't usually have an alternative in the form of mitigating or extenuating circumstances for homicide in the commission of defending one's property. A crux of his defense is that he was shooting an intruder. Even if it had been one, he'd still have been charged with manslaughter at a minimum.

Good point and not only that, he didn't see an intruder....he heard a noise in the bathroom and blasted the shit out of it. Unless he hit her in the head or the heart with the first shot she would have made some sort of scream or noise.

He should just admit and let her family get closure.

You can't shoot an intruder in your home?!  What are you supposed to do...talk him to death?

[Icelord]

"Call the police". Reasonable use of non-lethal force is also allowed. Which might make sense except not every home owner is a 250lb MMA fighter or martial artist with samurai swords in the bedroom. What would a woman or an old person do?

I realize it doesn't make sense, but most countries adopt this practice. If you shoot someone in Canada who's breaking and entering, they'll charge you with discharging a firearm unlawfully as well as whatever injuries the intruder incurs. Europe has much the same policies. Castle laws and Stand Your Ground laws are pretty much American by design when firearms are involved.
