this guy is a scumbag if you follow the case even his supposed friends pretty much said hes fucking crazy and likes to wave guns around
Making retarded jokes about a double-amputee is easy (and cheap), but I find grabbing a gun and shooting one's girlfriend to death during an argument, and yet not being found guilty of premeditated murder, fvcking hilarious.
Well at least he didn't WALK from all charges.
He still has yet to take the stand
Is anyone else just stumped by this verdict?
This coming out with the whole hoopla around the NFL and it's domestic violence...time to do a reality check on how much we let professional athletes get away with.
Not really, I have a good friend that used to live in South Africa. He said that the legal system there is fucked up and no doubt they would look the other way on the case because Pistorius is rich and famous, happens all the time according to him.
10 months in jail, after that house arrest and some other weak crap. 5 year sentence was on purpose because that's the limit for one to be eligible for house arrest after serving a short time. The judge wants to fuck him, so he caught a break. Blow your girlfriend's head off, 10 months in jail. Sounds legit.
Sentenced to the maximum of 5 years. Can ask for it to be converted to community supervision instead after serving 10 months.

I don't think it was premeditated. I think they were having a fight and he got angry and killed her.
To me, little to none of his defense story made sense.
Given what he was convicted of this sentence cannot be a surprise. Actually seems a little stiff by SA standards.
I expect the prosecution to appeal.
