Re: Oscar Pistorius arrested
Pistoffius's lawyer is a grub as well. He suggested the no-prosthetics stunt to elicit sympathy, but then protested the release of these photos of poor dead Reeva, a release approved by the grieving father.

Oh dear
"He has bleated about the hardships of jail, and his lawyers have brought in a psychologist to plead that he is “too depressed” to return to prison and ought to be in hospital instead.
A woman is dead because he shot her. And yet he claims, insultingly, to be “traumatised by the sound of gunfire”."
----------------------------
15 years hard labour for the sook, please.

Bizarre really. There are protests that his original sentence was too lenient - which it was. They upgrade it from the equivalent of manslaughter to murder and then add ONE YEAR!

Don't quite understand when there is a minimum sentence of 15 years. Looks like there will be another appeal and another 9 added I would think.

Should have got at least 10, but time to put this tragedy to bed.

Re: Oscar Pistorius arrested
What the hell is wrong with that judge?? Does she have some sort of sick crush on murderous white men?? First she ruled manslaughter (which was upgraded to murder on appeal) and then she hands down this despicable sentence of SIX years, with the possibility that he could only serve ONE of those years in prison.
The MINIMUM sentence for murder in RSA is 15 years. 15. Minimum. Not 6. So she's clearly interpreted the conviction wrong already. Not only should the prosecution appeal, but they should banging home the fact that this judge is woefully incompetent and unfit to be overseeing this case.
I reckon someone with money connected to the Pistorius family has gotten to her.
And more importantly- How many vile murderers will now be able to say, "Well Pistorius only got six years, so why can't I?"

Did you actually bother to take the time to read the judgement?

In USA it is 2 days to 3 months for rape, in case you are a connected white male.
In case of african americans or latinos or others it is full prison sentence.
SA has put a man behind bars for 6 years. You have to also accomodate the fact that as a handicapped person he may near the end of his paralympics career by then. Even a single more year in jail is good enough in that sense.

Crikey, if the chick judge's ruling is overturned again, she's gonna look a right incompetent fool.
