I know Oscar personally, and I recall our childhood minster repeatedly pointing out incidences where the devil attempted to take control of him. When the devil took his legs, it was because he didn't want Oscar to succeed. Despite that, Oscar did, now the devil has returned to try and put him away... But he will not succeed. Not while Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, has Oscar in his pocket. Go away, devil! Go away!

The Hansie Cronje defence. When in doubt....

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Never a dull moment. http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/12/world/...storius-trial/ Now the lad is mentally unstable due to all that anxiety and stress. I agree somewhat, anger issues and trigger happy when the urge to resolve them arises. He needs a nice cage to keep him under control.:sneaky:

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Good grief is it still going on? I thought it had finished weeks ago.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

His defence is clutching at straws now.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

It is South Africa you understand, justice, (whenever it actually happens) grinds very slowly, and there were a slew of public holidays in-between (like elections) that shuts everything down. If Oscar is put away for a month for this evaluation, everything screams to a halt for another month whilst they then haggle which expert has the right assessment. This may take quite a while.:zzz:

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Insanity clause?

He should have turned up with chopsticks up his nose with a white handkerchief on his head.....bleep!

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Present anxiety and stress is quite different past accusations of anger and trigger happy.

Have you ever been up in front of a judge, convinced of your own innocence, with the cloud of prison hanging over you day in day out?

You should try it sometime, it aint pleasent, in fact its the pits. Stress and anxiety is an understatement.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

No, but I never shot someone through a bathroom door while assuming my OH was fast asleep 2m away.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

You haven't lived. :lol:

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

I've been tempted, but my mother-in-law stays in a separate wing of the house.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

So he's probably stressed to the max. If that's what his defence has called it is what it is. I can't imagine he's lying about stress levels.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

I imagine facing a life sentence in a South African prison would be somewhat stressful.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Absolutely.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

You imagined correctly. :rolleyes: Prisons are not designed to be a places for wilting daisies.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

I reckon, but could be wrong, the best way to avoid being stressed about going to prison, would be to not shoot someone four times through a door. Radical thought though obviously.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Although he should have thought of that before he murdered her.

Just wanted to be clear about my opinion.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Or to pretend one is unstable. :sneaky:

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Exactly. I would suggest Reeva also had a bit of stress as her boyfriend was firing shots at her through a bathroom door, and even more stressful when the bullets hit and you know the end is coming for you. Now I know that would make me intensely stressful. So the boy gets a trip to the big chair to perform for the doc. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-27405303

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

I'll bet he's now receiving the best coaching that money can buy in readiness for his psychiatric evaluation.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Do you reckon he's going to pull this off or what?

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

I'm not sure. The defence is desperately trying everything. The judge so far seems to have been a bit of a pushover with Pistorius but her reputation suggests that she's anything but:

http://guardianlv.com/2014/03/pistor...against-women/

It's looking more and more like one of those crime detective movies. The kind that has a twist at the end.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Yeah, it better be a bloody good twist! This case is dragging.....:zzz:

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

haha

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

I will stick my neck waaaay out here and compare this to O.J.

Yes the major difference is Oscar does not deny shooting her.

The biggest difference is if Oscar is convicted there is zero chance of a riot.

That was a real possibility with a different O.J. verdict.

Meanwhile in South Africa....

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Guilty as hell but will get away with it as it's Africa.

He's probably guilty - but this is Africa, where rhythm and rhym are not always what they should be

Guilty, but nothing to do with it being Africa (unless OJ Simpson was sentenced there)

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

I'm sure he's guilty. And he'll probably get off lightly. But not if Gerrie has anything to do with it.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

This truly has become a circus, but ol' Oscar can't be considered mentally off the wall which is good. I think he may get jail time simply because of world attention. If this had just been national media, the boy would have been moving on to his new squeeze by now.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Guilty !!! but will most likely get away with it as it's Africa :thumbdown:

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Well, since the past couple of weeks were a bit of a non event, have some of this:

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

LOL! Lousy rap but the case has become a circus so fitting.:lol:

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

How much longer is this expected to drag on?

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Closing arguments

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Closing arguments trail ends today, but sentencing could take another number of weeks apparently.

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

He'll also need to be found guilty before any sentencing too :)

Re: Pistorius. Guilty or not?
 

Indeed. Doesn't the Judge do both?
