coogar:

of course he killed her - what is in doubt is if it's murder or just manslaughter(accidental killing).

DIG1: His excuse does not hold even a drop of water, he killed d lady on purpose.

coogar:

it was pitch-black in the bedroom, he heard a strange sound in his bathroom. burglary is a very common crime in south africa. pistorious felt vulnerable without his artificial legs so self-defense becomes imminent. he grabbed his gun and shot instinctively into the bathroom. the autopsy of the girlfriend has been done and there was no urine in her bladder at 3am.....which tallies with pistorious' story.

Akshow: Ridiculous! He freakin shot her four times

whealthy:

If found guilty at trial, Pistorius faces a life sentence.
What do you think? Premeditated murder or not?

question:
FIRST DEGREE MURDER... BLUE MURDER.
He should be telling us what caused him to pull the trigger 4 good times. Not that he shot her in error.

Sybellah: na Abracadabra story
not credible at all

Josh316: Will I be wrong if I call him Mr PISTOLrius the liar

freecocoa: Agreed, it may have been pitch dark and he might have thought she was in bed.

Now a man with someone in the house, not just anyone but his girlfriend o, hears a sound in the bathroom, suspects burglary and he goes shooting without alerting his woman?

I'd like to think that what any normal person would do then is, tell whoever you are at home with to be on the alert or possibly go into hiding, before going on a shooting spree.

Now since there was no urine in her bladder, what was she doing in the bathroom? I'm tempted to believe a version of this story that says he pursued her there. No?

wisestman: to me i think its the most ridiculous explanation. he fired four shots thru d door. he didnt go to confirm if the person was dead but went back to bed. does dat make sense? why did he go back to bed? out of all d places thieves could pass thru it was the bathroom he/ she chose to break in...abeg its a PREMEDITATED MURDER period......

Afam4eva:
You were there too? Is pistorous a Nairalander cos i wonder what loads of Nairalanders were doing in his house.

DIG1: His excuse does not hold even a drop of water, he killed d lady on purpose.

greatgeo:

This guy thinks everyone will believe this explaination abi? First if someone wants to steal so is in the toilet he will go second of all after the shooting u now go back to bed what for? well I hope they give him what peole like him desverd.

Diidi: Frm my view he did it intentionaly. Eyewitnes said 'dey' heard screams dt means afta d argumnts n al dt she ran into d bathrum. He can nt bear it he now worn his leg n traced her dr n killed her n stil went bag rlaxed in d bedroom.

So far all we have are rumour and speculation. You'll need to actually sit through the entire trial and hear all the evidence before you can realistically come to a decision which would be meaningful in any way!

I am so pleased you haven't been a law student!

coogar:

those neighbours were lying, they lived 600m away from pistorious. if they heard any scream, they heard it in their wild imaginations.

Lord_Reed:
Chill out now, 600m ke? Pistorious lives in a normal sized estate so his neighbours could very well have heard shouting. Go and look at the map of his house. Your 600m estimate is an over-exaggeration.

Sybellah:

seriously i am free not to believe him
should i need to have been there to think if his story is credible or not? i doubt so

ItsModella:
+100...

too many judgmental people on this thread..

dare2think:


Erm, it actually goes both ways!!

Some judge him to be innocent and others judge him to be lying!

The op asks if we believe his story and people have the right to assess the information given and leave their verdict based on that information.

I dont know where all these self-righteousness is coming from!!

cool!



where's the time to alert his woman? he felt vulnerable instantly...he's without his prostheses which makes him prone to be beaten up. his gun is the only defence and we don't know if the gun was in the living room or anywhere else apart from the bedroom.



you cannot argue the case this way. none of us can accurately state what we would do in that situation until we are in the situation and people react differently to emergency crisis.



that there was no urine in her bladder at 3am suggests pistorious' story was correct that she was in the bathroom. humans would normally have urine in their bladder at 3am - the only puzzle is if he pulled the trigger intentionally or accidentally....

Afam4eva:
You must have watched the whole scene play out. Do you mind sharing with us the video footage you took?

coogar:

it's 600 metres - it was mentioned in the court today.
