*It was a doco on the crime channel, it was very interesting. Interviewed her friends and parents put together all the events leading up to it for months before and described the relationship they'd had.

Yep ... Sounds a nice love affair. ... Got anything concrete? ...... I'm finding it hard to make a decision on shades of grey and the women's rights movement.

That email exchange (or whatever it was) revealed a lot about the nature of their relationship. Much more will be revealed over the next few days.

Alternatively, if you are in a murderous rage at your girlfriend and she is locked in the loo, at what stage would "I know, I'll shoot at her, nothing bad will come of that" enter your head?

By definition he can't of been in his right mind either way - so why didn't they go for a 'roid rage defence? He should be going down for manslaughter anyway - and it's more believable than his current story.

I'm talking about the bullets, delivered properly into the target, not the delivery mechanism as well. I'm all about the terminal effects, not the platform or auxiliary equipment...

I have to say he sounded very convincing when reenacting the moment he shot his girlfriend.

So after today I've come to the conclusion he's either innocent or a damn good actor.



Has anyone else been following it? What are your thoughts?

Hell, in most cases it wouldn't even make page 20 pf the papers - it's the way this kind of shit goes down over there

This case is different as it is so high profile and the world is watching. If the people involved were not celebrities, we would never have heard a thing
