Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
Never to the best of my knowledge. Why are you asking me that question?
You have to remember, OP goes into that court as an innocent man. His story is the only story. Its the job of the prosecutor to prove otherwise. The prosecutor has not done that to date. You can only work with what you've got. Not "maybes" and speculation.
Today is another day. Nel might be able to crack him and bring a complete admission of guilt.

Well, nothing concrete except the fact that OP doesn't dispute he shot her 4 times.
When did I say beyond a reasonable doubt? What I said was that the prosecution has to show the judge that Pistorius shot with the intention to do harm.
I personally think Nel is doing a fine job of showing the holes in OP's story.

I understand the security issues in Joburg, but I also know he was living in a well secured development. If he was so fearful why on earth would he step out on his balcony in the middle of the night. He would be completely exposed to an attack out there, and a golden opportunity for someone to get in. He obviously felt secure enough to open the door to go out to the balcony, and that is something you do not do in Joburg without good security.
According to testimony from different sources, one heard shouting and then screams with gunfire. Others heard screams and gunfire. Forensics finds that not only was the bathroom window shut, but the trajectory of the bullet indicates the Oscar shot into the door at an upward motion which hit her in the hip. It is suggested that she must have been standing on the toilet when the first bullet hit her in the hip which is a strange behaviour for someone just wanting to go to the bathroom. I do wonder if she was looking to see if she could get out of the home through the bathroom window because she was so scared. He surely must have heard her fall and kept on firing. It is simply incredible that someone has bullets flying at them and would make no sound. I think Oscar is being shown to be a trigger happy violent man and he needs to go away for life.

This girl must be nuts for even going there with this guy, but maybe this is her way to fame and fortune if they put him in the slammer. He won't be allowed to profit from the saga but she can milk it for all it is worth if she chooses. Who says bad publicity is bad anyway?

Second, I still stand by my comment that Oscar's 'celebrity' will have no bearing on the Judge's decision in this case. He's a professional, not a lay person who is easily influenced by such an issue.

Firstly, agree with your comment re SA police. My experience of Saffer cops is they are incredibly corrupt and most should be in prison (most make the MPS look competent and not racist!).

I am impressed with the prosecutor though and hope he scores on this one as he did with Selebi. Selebi did some damage to one of my family members in SA, and it was a good day when that ***** got caught. Really, at the end of the day, I hope there is justice for Reeva. Her family deserves that much.
