Oscar Pistorius Trial

[Sharktooth]

I'm on leave so have been following this recently. Tell you what, the prosecution lawyer doesn't mess about. I think this boy is going down.

The BBC screwed up big time by not having a delay installed and accidentally showed the picture of the victim.

Anyone else been following it?

Seen bits and bobs, Oscar seems like a slippery character with form.
As guilty as a cat sat in it's own poo IMO.

 

[pokerjoke]

I have a little.
Glad the prosecution is tough,he does ask some good questions.
I was interested that if he was shouting out to Reeva,surely she would have been screaming
"its me its me" before he gunned her down.
I really cant judge overall if I havnt watched it all and got all the facts,however it doesn't
sit well with me,and imo he knew what he was doing.
Only time will tell

I watched the prosecution yesterday and he tied Pistorius up in knots about the fan/s and duvet, then he (Pistorius) said he saw a silhouette but was always saying before it was pitch black and couldn't see anything! He said he didn't see or hear her move but when looking at the picture and diagram of the room, anyone with the slightest amount of paranoia, which Pistorius definitley has, I find that impossible.

As the prosecutor said yesterday, Pistorius is 'adapting' his defence now as he doesn't accept any responsibility, everything is about him and he is running out of answers.

Guilty

Yes M'Lady, No M'Lady.

 

[Sharktooth]

I think he has become used to getting his own way for to long, but Nel the prosecution lawyer is ripping his character to shreds. Pistorius is a good actor with the crying and trembling voice, but when he is repeatedly cornered by the prosecution it sounds like he wants to shoot him as well.

Guilty

O.J Simpson got off.

I'm so totally not convinced by his demeanor and 'upset'. Mrs SILH has huge sympathy for him as she feels he would have had a battle all of his life given his condition and things said about him relating to or as a result of his condition will have hurt bad. And I guess that to get where he got to in sport and life he had to be totally self-self.

So she is following the trail quite closely, but can see no other outcome than guilty. His girlfriend may well have made cruel or unsympathetic comments - certainly in his eyes - but comments that any disabled person might have found hurtful. But no excuse for murder - even in the heat of passion or whatever. Sorry Oscar she says.

O.J Simpson got off.

...But is currently banged up for 33 years.

Justice

Justice

He got done for kidnapping and armed robbery in a separate case, I think.

 

[USER1999]

O.J Simpson got off.

He had a jury though, pistorious just has a judge and two assistants. Not so easy to fool, but then more susceptible to a hole in legal procedures, if there is one.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

My view on Pistorius is draw from what I hear and see. Given certain discussions elsewhere I have to wonder how might that be different if his head was covered and all I could see was his eyes?

 

[Foxholer]

Not followed it enough to give proper opinion.

Would 'naturally' think guilty though - the circumstances seem too strange to me otherwise.

Both side seem to be doing 'excellent jobs' though.

 

[Beezerk]

He has a very sketchy memory at times but sharp as owt when he's recalling positive things!

 

[c1973]

It's my opinion that Oscar is lying through his teeth, why the need to lie if you are innocent? Also,having watched a bit of the trial, he kinda appears to be making it up on the hoof. Anyone else get that feeling?

 

[Doon frae Troon]

So the near neighbours heard screaming and he did not..hmmmmmmmm.

They authorities should pull the veil down on this, it is making them all look poor.

Only seen bits and bobs on the news but his whining and crying and puking (allegedly) all seemed very put on. From the outset I've thought he murdered her in a fit of temper and not heard anything else to change that suspicion!

 

[Deleted member 15344]

All appears that he lost it and killed her from what I have read etc but I guess only he knows

Wouldn't surprise me to see him found not guilty of murder but possibility guilty of manslaughter ?

Agree with this, I've followed this case and nothing Oscar says makes any kind of sense.
"I fired by accident"....yeah, 4 times!
He's screaming at the 'intruder' in the bog and at same time screaming to Reeva to call the police, yet Reeva doesn't once say "stop shouting love, it's only me"?
Fearful woman in fear of her life hiding in the toilet is the only scenario that makes any sense to 99.9% of people.

Doesn't look good for Oscar. Hope justice prevails.

Police crime scene work seems amateur and if they have nicked watches and moved objects around that could help Oscar get off with murder as tampered evidence may weaken prosecution.
