It'll be an interesting trial. Apparantly Oscar was very wary of intruders and felt particularly vunerable at night when he was in bed, when he didnt have his prosthetic legs on. To shoot through a closed door though seems a bit extreme, and i think he'll have difficulty proving that he was acting in 'self defence' as he couldnt see who was in the bathroom at the time. |

I didn't see the programme but from memory at the time Pistorius' girlfriend was killed...I'm sure there was a witness who heard sounds of arguing prior to the shots. |

seemed to remember a report that he was wearing his prosthetic limbs on when he shot through the bathroom door. The angle of the bullets showed the height he was at. |

My own memory suggests that the witness was quite a distance away...
It'll keep the papers busy for a few months I guess ..book deals for lawyers..jury members tweeting while court is in session...etc etc

"i dont think it was intentional but i do think he knew it wasnt a burglar as he claimed.
So who did he think he was shooting at?
People can shoot guns without intending to kill people you know. "
So are you saying that he knew it was his girlfriend but didn't intend to kill her by firing four shots through a locked bathroom door?
Bizarre!! |

Do I have all the facts - no
Do you have all the facts - no
Shall we let the professionals make this decision??
I have heard that he had issues with drugs etc maybe that's to blame? Maybe he knew he was shooting someone but didn't know it was her because in his head it wasn't her.
I'm not saying he didn't do it just that it wasn't planned. |

"I heard that it was an arguement over the bathroom door. Apparantly he wanted to change the bathroom door for a new one, & she was dead against it.
Bertie! That is horrendous! "
I know! Sorry! |

You say both you and I don't have the facts yet still make an opinion.
Hopefully the trial will be held where there is no bias...ie based on the fact he's a national hero.  |

You're not but as I've said in a previous post to fire four shots through a locked door and not intend to kill the occupant (whoever that is) is not rational.
I don't know if he knew who was in toilet but he seems certain to have wanted to cause serious damage or death to the occupant. |

"One thing is certain if he was black he would be remanded and in prison"
Not at all. Apartheid finished years ago Love. What is certain is that he would be in remand if he wasn't a famous star with a big bale payment. |

i did but it was getting heavy if he did it he will go down ( how far is up to his lawyers) if he is "Inocent" he will get off.

all this depends on a legal sytem that's not bent like a nine bob note |

Apartheid was declared 'illegal' years ago, but if you don't believe that being white and rich doesn't offer you a distinct advantage within the SA legal system then you are sadly disillusioned Love. |

Having done my homework:
"Oscar Pistorius will be indicted for premeditated murder on Monday and the double-amputee Olympian will go on trial in early 2014, about a year after shooting dead girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
In a sombre twist, the world-famous athlete will be served with the murder indictment on the day Steenkamp would have celebrated her 30th birthday.
Pistorius will be formally charged for the Valentine's Day slaying of the woman he says he loved dearly and killed by mistake, and will face a life sentence with a minimum of 25 years in prison if convicted of premeditated murder.
Other charges could be added to the indictment. Prosecutors declined to comment on South African media reports on Friday that charges of recklessly discharging a firearm in public in two separate incidents would also be laid against the runner.If the extra charges — reportedly relating to Pistorius shooting a gun out a moving car and firing one accidentally at a restaurant — are added, they may show the prosecution's aim to paint him as trigger-happy at his blockbuster trial next year." |
