Member 4923, 1795 posts	I don't know how people can be so sure he's guilty of murder, there's no evidence he knew who was behind the door! He will be found guilty of manslaughter tomorrow and likely get a nice few years in jail. Although there is talk of house arrest as it wouldn't be practical to put him in a normal prison without his prostheses.

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235 595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator	Post Edited: 11.09.2014 @ 23:37 PM by Rick I've always been puzzled by people who think they understand the facts of a case better from a bit of light reading than the people who've spent the last several months full-time studying every jot of evidence. I know far less about this case than anybody on the jury, and so do you.

not stating facts. Member 3100, 502 posts	Post Edited: 12.09.2014 @ 07:20 AM by rian1987 House arrest with all of his home comforts? That says it all really. Their was no jury. Just a judge that was probably paid off. I actually watched the case on TV and he was shown to be a liar by the prosecution and come on if their is an intruder in the house surely you would check to see if your girlfriend was ok in bed next to you? Surely you would realise she wasn't there? And what about the screams the neighbours heard after the first shot? Surely he would've recognised her voice after that and stopped if he wasn't trying to kill her?

little_a		Athletics - Paralympic Committee: 'Inspirational' Pistorius can race again	12-09-2014 @ 14:50
still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts	Pistorius was convicted of the charge on Friday, having escaped the more serious charge of murder for the killing of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The 27-year-old double amputee became one of the biggest names in world sport by not only dominating Paralympic athletics but also competing with able bodied athletes at the highest level. Craig Spence, the IPC 's director of media and communications, told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Oscar's done a great deal for the Paralympic movement, he's been an inspiration to millions, but obviously his priority now is to see (what) the judge decides. "Then if he wishes to resume his athletics career then we wouldn't step in his way, we would allow him to compete again in the future." The IPC's chief executive Xavier Gonzalez admitted that Pistorius had been a "fundamental ambassador" for Paralympic sport but also insisted the movement had moved on. "We have been very clear in differentiating our work from what was happening in the life of one individual. "That will not change with the verdict today. The trial has not had any negative impact on the Paralympic movement. Since London with Sochi in 2014 we have seen an incredible growth in all aspects of our activities and we look forward very positively to Rio and Pyeongchang. "Oscar was a fundamental ambassador of the Paralympic movement in the period between 2008 and 2012. Since then the Paralympic movement has many other ambassadors and many other athletes that have been recognised globally and we believe that will continue growing as we lead up to 2016." Pistorius has won six Paralympic gold medals and also won a silver medal at the 2011 able-bodied World Championships in the 4x400m relay. In 2012, he competed at both the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games in London – winning two golds and silver in the latter. A statement from the IPC added: "Following today's verdict, our thoughts remain with all those who have been affected by this terrible tragedy, in particular the family and friends of Reeva Steenkamp who sadly lost her life in this incident." Judge Thokozila Masipa based her culpable homicide decision on the fact that Pistorius had acted unreasonably and negligently when he fired four shots from a 9mm pistol into a toilet door in his luxury Pretoria home, killing Steenkamp, who was behind it, almost instantly. The state had argued that Pistorius was deliberately trying to kill Reeva Steenkamp, a law graduate and model, after a row in the early hours of Valentine's Day last year, but Masipa ruled that prosecutors had failed to prove the allegations. Pistorius said he had fired in the mistaken belief that an intruder had broken into his bathroom and was hiding in the toilet cubicle.

I do stand by the general point, though. Every time there is any media coverage of anything I know about in depth or in person, it's always completely wrong. I doubt this is any different.
