Kes Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Anyone seen this ? The prosecutors summing up rather casts doubt on almost everything Pistorius has said, but sometimes looks fragile. In terms of the outcome, it is starting to look like (failing a fiddle) he will spend a number of years out of the mainstream. Cant be fun for Riva S's family.

paul65 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 As we know from other discussions here, if a man walks free it's because he's not guilty - not because he 'got away with it'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul65 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Like Bernie Ecclestone? I'm not going to comment on individual cases, just pointing out that according to the PW perceived wisdom, a court verdict of Not Guilty on a bloke is beyond question. Unless he's not a shooting type / generally disliked. Different standards apply to women. If a woman is found not guilty it's OK to suggest she worked her charms on the Judge and jury.

Les*1066 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I can see no other outcome except "guilty". If you woke up in the middle of the night, and your partner was not in bed, and you noticed that the bathroom door was closed, is it really rocket science to work out where your partner is? As a Saffer, I have followed the trial with interest, and I think the prosecutor is brilliant. He has ripped apart all the "innocent" claims put forward by the defence council, and shown them to be nothing more than the rantings of a spoilt child - namely Pistorious. Whether or not he is found guilty remains to be seen, but if he isn't then it has to be the greatest travesty of justice ever recorded.

Scully Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 If you woke up in the middle of the night, and your partner was not in bed, and you noticed that the bathroom door was closed, is it really rocket science to work out where your partner is? This must be the question the vast majority of people (including my 14 year old son) asked when first hearing of this incident. My son asked, if he woke up in the middle of the night, in the dark, because he heard a noise in the bathroom, and then saw his girlfriend wasn't in the bed, wouldn't any normal person have shouted, 'is that you in the bathroom?' instead of jumping out of bed and starting shooting at the bathroom door? Can't argue with that logic. I had to admit that if I woke up in the middle of the night to find his mam not beside me, my first reaction wouldn't be to rush to the cabinet, grab my shotgun and some cartridges and empty my gun through the bathroom door.....not even a Burnley Dave moment if I'm honest.

Dougy Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 The thing is he didnt jump out of bed, he cant, he made a concious dicision to put his prostetic legs on, get his pistol and shoot several shots through the bathroom door, that his girlfreind was hiding behind most possibly frightened to death, fleeing from the mentally unstable "X" boyfriend who she knew was a nut with a gun.

Kes Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 If it was deliberate shooting, as it more and more seems to be, then he should be shot but from behind a locked toilet door. If he is truly innocent, he should abjure guns for the rest of his life. He doesnt seem that contrite or genuine. He has yet to use the word 'accident'.

STOTTO Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Screaming and shouting in the middle of the night, shots fired, only him and the girlfriend in the apartment and she has been shot to death, where is the confusion?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Summing up - 'any moron can tell he ******* did it alright' It just now depends if he's a popular national institution just like OJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontbeck Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Of course he did it intentionally but I fear he may get away with it. I was a big fan but he showed his true colours in the London Olympics. He has anger management problems but that doesn't absolve him and he should pay the full price for his actions.

bruno22rf Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Look at it this way-SOMETHING is moving around in your bathroom-you pick up a handgun with whoever is behind the door is oblivious to the fact that you are a/ there and b/ armed. You hold ALL the cards-why on earth would you fire 4 rounds into thel room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
