Pistorius trial.....

Fair points well made. Either way I hope they make the right decision. If he's proven innocent, ill take everything back!

 

What gets me is, if he heard someone in the bathroom, why did he not check to see if his girlfriend was lying next to him? Surely that's the first thing you'd do? By the time he'd got up, possibly put his 'legs' on and got the gun, surely to goodness he'd realise his lover was not next to him? To then go and shoot through the door... well, guilty for me! But his tearful defence will see him get off lightly I believe.

 

Part of a national tragedy really, whether it was an accident or the result of an argument then if there wasn't a gun about then it wouldn't have have happened, but he had to have a gun because South Africa is so violent and South Africa is so violent because Apartheid ended which was a police state, but there shouldn't have been apartheid in the first place and European countries shouldn't have colonised Africa, it goes back deep.

 

Coming back to this...your response also shows that their are folks like you who aren't interested in the facts revealed already and have just made up their minds whatever. He wasn't lying next to her when he heard the noise, he'd come in from the balcony (according to him but it explains the possibility for me). He didn't have his 'legs' on ( forensics of the shots show that). As to him shooting throughout the door - that can't be disputed but according to the law doesn't in itself prove murder.
