Doesn't sound like a great defence to me, but a weaker one seemed to get OJ off the hook, we're not talking "the land of the free" here though. I reckon he is fucked.

What an terribly sad, sad situation.....a moment of madness maybe?.....guess we will never really know....a successful man...a beautiful woman...a gun.....

As Ian Gillan once sang:

"A hard headed woman
And a soft hearted man
They've been causing trouble
Since time began"


I'm so glad Guns are prohibited in the UK - Or I might be serving a 20 year stretch right now...

Not sure about that, from the stories coming to light,it would seem there was a very dark side to Pistorius.

Must admit Sid, I haven't really looked into it further than listening to the radio/tv news when it first happened. No doubt though he will have the best legal people trying to get him off on a lesser charge...

I am not sure at all about him saying he thought there was an intruder or a group of intruders.

If you were in that position, wouldn't you call out your girlfriend's name just to see if it was her?

Even if you got no reply, then the sensible thing to do would be to have your gun ready but get the hell out of there and call the police, especially if the intruder was in a bathroom and not blocking your path to the front door.

But he would argue that he was a sharpshooter who would take no chances?

I just don't buy this business of shooting through a closed bathroom door, or of a bloodied cricket bat found outside it.

No, the South African law is more cut and dry than the US laws. Sad to say but he's fucked it up big time. His paranoia over his vunerability has got the better of him, or he just lost it with her. Either way he will not get away with it.

A real shame. She had a great pair of tits.



Too soon?

Yeah great tits agreed, and from what the media are saying about the evidence etc it would seem the bloke doesn't have a leg to stand on

apparently the stuff they found wasn't illegal and is used by many athletes after training, so the defence said this morning.

they are picking apart the prosecution's case and it's only a bail hearing, the woman who reported hearing gunfire, screams, and then more gunfire to the police lives 700m away from his house. case is falling apart because SA's police are as useless as they were with the Diwani case

i don't think he will get bail due to the bank accounts he has offshore but in answer to the initial question I think he will get away with it to be honest, the trajectory of the bullets through the door - ie whether he had his prosthetics on or not - will be key
