No we have a couple of prisoners with them and others on crutches, never really been a problem to be honest.
I think it boils down to human rights, you can't really take away a person "leg" just because they are in prison.

Nope - honestly had to google the name to find out who he was.

I disagree - I have always thought sport was infantile, boring and uninteresting, and the morons who play it or are (worst still) obsessed with watching it and talking about it must have very shallow empty lives and brains.

Thanks for again validating my position.

There's a lot of worthwhile sport. Big differences between codes, games, disciplines.

His statement in court yesterday didn't add up at all

Worried so much about security he kept a 9mm next to his bed....but then went to sleep leaving the balcony door open?

Heard noises inside the locked bathroom so started firing into it as he assumed his girlfriend was in bed?

A truly woeful defence

guilty until proven innocent?

give him a break!

Frankly suspension of disbelief can only go so far.

His best bet is to say he was pumped up on steroids, because that story isn't going to convince anyone.

scottishcelts

Yeah, Tiddlywinks rocks. How DARE he.

His statement is quite plausible however.....very carefully crafted.

Dreamy

Unless it was quoted incorrectly on the news this morning, I don't see how plausible can be applied. He thought there was an intruder in the bathroom, he thought his girlfriend was in bed, yet when he went back to the bedroom to put on his legs and retrieve his gun from under the bed, he didn't notice she wasn't there?

carolinephillips

Not correct- he grabbed his gun whilst on his stumps according to his statement, and fired through the door. It was only when he realised that Reeva was not in bed after he had backed out of the bathroom that he tried to get into the toilet, which was locked, so he went for his prosthetics to try to kick the door down.

It's about his statement and a matter for the court.

Sometimes people do all sorts of implausible things.

We've all done things that wouldn't be believed....part of his defence was that he got tunnel vision.....and didn't act in the way many would, or might...

It will come out in the wash.....

GarryP

But the gun was by the bed.

And how exactly is he going to get around on stumps without using his hands - and so how is he going to be carrying a gun as well?

As a story it just doesn't add up.

What about the bloodied cricket bat, how does that fit in? It's a shame OJ Simpson's lawyer Johnny Cochrane is dead, Pistorious could have hire him and got off.
