Oscar Pistorius convicted of murdering his girlfriend

[Colly]

Tell him to get back to work.

[Rainiac]

Clearly Oscar Pistorius' favourite band is Bullet For My Valentine

(all joking aside though, this is a damn tragedy)

[Crybaby Bunting]

With such a flawed defense I guess you could say he shot himself in the foot.

[Dan]

Had a few too many drinks, got legless and shot her :/

[snakesonaplane12]

That's legitimately crazy. Feel for the guy. Must be horrible. Didn't stop me making a joke on twitter mind.

Wha, surely you should feel sory for the person who got shot and killed? Maybe I'm missing someting here but, possible DV perpetrator... goes the full nine-yards and actually (possibly?) commits a domestic homicide, 'welllllllll shieeeeeeeeeet, feel sorry for the guy ya know?' What am i missing?

That said, I lol'd a couple of times in this thread >_<

Summers was blatantly referring to Pistorious in the context of it being a case of mistaken identity.

It does however now appear increasingly likely that he shot her dead for other reasons, sadly.

He has spent the entire day constantly refreshing various news feeds just in case one of them says he is innocent!

That's what I assumed was the explanation (after consideration) but because he made his comment before the suggestion of mistaken identity had been made I had to ask to clarify as I am pedantic.

Aye when it was reported as an accident I felt bad for him. Killing your significant other accidentally would be horrible.

As it is seems it was murder. So no, I don't feel sorry for him.

It was being reported as mistaken identity from the moment I saw the news on yahoo this morning.

He wants sacking.

[METALMAN]

I wouldn't complain.

[Colly]

Could be tip of the iceberg though, today its Pistorius, tomorrow Charlize Theron does something weird and he's still not working, then Quinton Fortune reveals he's a paedo, and then you've lost half a week of productivity.

[9 to 5]

Apparently it was her own fault, she did ask to be taken out for Valentines day.

So, who's been following the case over the last couple of days. Yesterday his story seemed so full of holes and with so many implausibilities that it seemed a lot more open and shut, then today one of the detectives has made a bit of a hash of things and made things look very grim, the defense didn't really address some of the things he bought up but there were more than a few "oh dears" from the prosecution I think.

[cmb211087]

Specifically the neighbour heard them arguing.....the neighbour lives 600m away.

[METALMAN]

Those South Africans do have really loud voices though.

[lanky316]

Based on todays questioning, I suspect it's looking like he'll be granted bail tomorrow. I'd worry about the reported laughter from OP's family at a couple of the answers in court today. Not the best thing to do in these cases but it'd be hard for him to flee the country you'd think and he can't be blamed for their actions but he was certainly coming out a bit better today even if there were still big crosses against him for the main trial.

[METALMAN]

but it'd be hard for him to flee the country you'd think .

Why? Did they take his legs away?

[King Ellis]

Airport security is quite tight nowadays, they don't usually let you on board if you're legless.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Turns out the investigating officer in this case was involved in a drunken shooting of a minibus taxi full of passengers, faces 7 counts of murder now.

His credibility's definitely going to take a hit from that.
