Here's a thread for anyone who cares to track that.

I was just listening to some talk radio about it and apparently his fate will be decided by a judge and not a jury. The thinking is, that's not good for him as he might lose the "Important Person Discount" that can come with a jury which is so often composed of blithering idiots.

Too bad Oscar.

The expert I heard being interviewed went ahead and put on his Nancy Grace hat - and speculated based on the initial wranglings at the bail hearing that Oscar should be good and cooked.
 
I think he's gonna walk on that premeditated murder charge. The defense is going to successfully portray him as a paranoid gun freak, but not a murderer. The local police confirmed that there are no inconsistencies in Pistorius's account of events.

Only problem is the fact that the girl locked the bathroom door - who does that when taking a mid-night piss, with only your BF in the house?

I'm sure I've done it before, out of habit. But as a general rule, no locking the bathroom door at 3am.

:thinking:

Armchair detective FTW
 
you CLOSE the door when taking a piss at any hour still Matty?

me thinks you might be guilty of something

in front of a been there/seen/heard that judge, Oscar IS in trouble!!! he won't be prone to over reasonable of doubt.

is that the standard down that country?
 
the bigger story in the moral public court of opinion is

was this guy a BIG FAT LANCE ARMSTRONG LIKE CHEATER!!!!!??????

that testosterone found at his house could ruin his legacy and hold up his enshrinement to the no legs under the knee hall of fame
 
Can he just defend himself by saying: "I got up at 3 am after hearing noises from the bathroom. It was dark and I thought my girlfriend was still sleeping in bed. I knocked on the bathroom door and I got no response. I then tried to open the door and it was locked. After knocking on the door again still no answer from the locked bathroom door at which pont I proceeded to fire through the door as a precaution."

He may get a 10 year sentence max.
 
Now my radio expert indicated that Oscar claimed to have yelled out a warning of some sort before opening fire. The idea that a girlfriend would not scream or at least respond in some way that she would prefer not to be shot seems far-fetched.

But then again so does the idea that a burglar would break into a place and go lock himself in the bathroom.



So in that fantasy scenario either the burglar or Oscar was retarded.

Let's say both.


:retarded::retarded:
 
There is a witness that claims he heard shots, then a woman screaming, then more shots. He was initially reported to be 600 meters away, but that got amended to 300 meters away. Seems kind of far in either case, but if the judge buys into it, he's done.

Also:
Ms Steenkamp was shot in the right side of her head, her right hip and her right elbow, Det Botha said. The officer later testified that he thought the bullets were fired "down", suggesting Mr Pistorius had his prosthetic legs on. Mr Pistorius has claimed he was walking on his stumps, making him feel particularly vulnerable. But the prosecution has argued he stopped to put his legs on, adding weight to its case that the shooting was premeditated.

we care about the culture that creates these sport assholes like Armstrong and this guy.

It all goes back to hype and advertizing and making an industry out of creating a sensation around these guys. Hence allowing dumb people get too full of themselves. Always dangerous.

At least football players who shoot each other in the foot or whatever play a team sport.
