Kowalski Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog/2013/feb/20/oscar-pistorius-bail-hearing-day-two-live-coverage Prosecution seem to have their act together today. Botha says that the toilet itself is to the left in the toilet room. He says the bullets were fired diagonally through the door. But Steenkamp's injuries were on her right side. Botha says this indicates that she was standing "hiding" on the righthand side of the toilet room – and was not sitting on the toilet. The shots went through her clothes, showing she was dressed when she was shot. Botha says more charges will be added: possession of unlicenced ammunition, since they found .38 Special rounds in a bedroom safe. He had no licence for a .38 calibre weapon. He had a licence for a 9mm pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Take it by clothes they don't mean bed clothes. Otherwise it doesn't really indicate anything. Boy does look pretty fucked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtS Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 It would have been much cooler if he'd slashed her to death with one of his 'blades'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 A lawyer and Mr Pistorius's brother were already at the scene when police arrived. Bullets were fired "down" and through top part of door suggesting he had prosthetic legs on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 That's a coincidence then since his explanation smacks of one hastily (and poorly) constructed by speaking to your lawyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Reading the BBC feed it looks like the prosecution officer who is quoted above is a bit of an neep and the defense lawyers have ran rings round him and found a heap of holes in his evidence and has turned the trial. "We're in terrible trouble" says junior prosecution official leaving court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Prosecution have fallen to pieces. Still don't get how Oscar is supposed to have got past the bed and shot someone in the bathroom without checking it wasn't his girlfriend first!

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Basic question, he didn't check whether his burd was in the bed before filling the bog full of hollow points? Ma fucking arse, guilty your honour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 To make it more strange the investigating officer getting all the flack yesterday is up in court in May on 7 counts of attempted murder - how can he be working??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Bail decision due at 12.30. I'll be surprised if he doesn't get bail, although I'm not sure he should get bail as the fundamental question still exists - why did he not check that it was his girlfriend in the bathroom before unloading his gun? Prosecution will need to up their game for the full trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Apparently he wanted a new bathroom door, but his girlfriend was dead against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick sheep Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 some SA legal expert was talking about the culture of paranoia in SA, which makes what Pistorius is claiming to have done very common. So then you can basically kill anybody at all and have a very good chance you get away with calling it an accident. also seems like none of these senior south african legal pricks actually care about a woman being killed.

mizer Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Going slightly off topic but just saw the video from South Africa on the BBC website of the taxi driver who "parked incorrectly" being handcuffed to the back of a police van then dragged away down the street at high speed. Unsurprisgly he is reported to have died at the police station as humans are not built to be dragged along tarmac at high speed.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-21615593 That along with the videos of the police shooting mining protesters in cold blood makes you wonder where South Africa is going and if they can prosecute anyone fairly.

Kowalski Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Well unless I'm missing something, he is looking very much like guilty of murder to me. Plenty of evidence so far contradicts his so called version of events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Aye, I was reading on twitter that he threw up on multiple occasions while they were going through the testimony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
