Oscar Pistorius - Did He Do It?..
 

I am going for no - Evidently because he was disabled he was terrified of being burgled - It had happened to him a number of times in the past and I can imagine him feeling terribly vulnerable...

He had access to guns and knew how to use them - That combo was a disaster waiting to happen.....

Just to clarify - He did do it - The question should be did he mean to do it?..

Well he sure meant to shoot through the bathroom door without knowing who was in there.

I don't think he knew she was in there.

He do it, is he guilty, i don't know :)

where else would he think she was? since she was not in bed next to him

And why would you blindly shoot through a door without even waiting for an answer to "who's there"?

or why not aim with the gun at the door and ask your gf to call the police?

i don't think so, Tim.

He doesn't have a leg to stand on in this case.

It took 5 posts but gfy didn't let me down :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Ohhh, YES he did!
He knew full damn well who was there and did it fully aware of what was going on. He should be in prison for the rest of his life.

Thats bad but it made me :1orglaugh

oh yeah, he did it. wasn't it like the day after their anniversary or something? dude was probably raging on riods.

why would a burglar be in your bathroom? Your gf in not in your bed and you can hear someone in your bathroom, and your first thought is burglar? Bollocks. Your first thought is "wonder if i can get a bj when she comes back to bed."

All burglars go to the bathroom; how else would they steal all your shit?

:1orglaugh

Do you guys realize that in SA a judge decides if you are guilty? No jury. And his female judge has come down hard on men in the past regarding violence against women. Oscar is TOAST. By this time next year his BF will be pinning Oscar's stumps behind his ears.

Is he guilty? Part of being a responsible gun owner is that you know the local laws regarding justified use of deadly force. He obviously did not follow the law if he did in fact shoot through a door.

:thumbsup:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Excellent.

Didn't the neighbors hear them having a huge fight right before the shots?

Hothead nutcase that has assaulted women in the past and done some crazy violent drunken shit...neighbors heard her yelling and shouting right before the shots...his goose is cooked.

they were fighting before the shots, they have been known to fight a lot also. And she is not in bed so he unloaded his gun into the bathroom because people break in houses and go into the bathroom while the people are sleeping and look for shit LOL

Guilty as hell...

I don't pay attention to this stuff... but from the snippets of news i've heard, they fought like cats and dogs... he was known to have a violent temper.. he'd had the police called on him for waving a gun around.. he'd made threats to people with his gun, he lied to police and his story is highly improbable.

It's depressing to me that anyone could even entertain the idea that someone fired gun shots through a closed bathroom door - with no idea at all that it was his girlfriend on the other side as an accident. It means he did not hear her voice. Which means he made no attempt to identify, warn etc... and they in turn also said nothing to indicate they were a threat to him. I am of course not an Australian attorney but i'd guess he'd have to prove he faced an imminent threat... which seems impossible to prove, since he clearly didn't.

Australian attorney? You really havent paid attention! South African case mate.

Man no idea but that girl was so beautiful ... so sad...

If he gets bail, will they give him an ankle tag?

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

He did it he did know who was in the bathroom.

Should have just said that he was in fear for his life from her. That seems to work.

Yes unfortunately I dont believe his intruder excuse.

The intruder was taking a shower ?

I don't know about anyone else but anytime I'm sleeping at night and there's a loud or weird noise, 90% of the time I'm not the one that heard it, my wife wakes me up to "go check what the noise was". If in the odd case I hear something and wake, first thing I do is check where my wife is, is she next to me in bed, is she in the bathroom, then I investigate the noise.

I'd like to think he didn't mean to kill her but all the evidence points to him being guilty.

South African criminal law follows English law same as US, Canada, Australia etc

He should admit to heavy and long steroid abuse that damaged his brain turning him into an emotionally labile and violent man and plead guilty to 2nd degree murder if the prosecution would give him that deal. In Canada he'd get 10 years and be out hopping around in 5.

just another gun nutter. :2 cents:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

He is gonna walk

Weren't there screams heard before the gunshots in someone's testimony? If that's the case, then I don't know how he could be innocent.

If he thought it was a great plan to kill his girlfriend under the pretense of shooting an intruder (trapped in the bathroom????) then he must be dumber than he looks.

Was there a unicorn involved too?

He did do it - He shot her dead. The question is he did think he was shooting an intruder or was he trying to kill his girlfriend.

The truth is a homeowner with a firearm is more likely to shoot someone they know by accident than shoot an intruder.

What he should have done was armed himself, locked the bedroom door, and called the police. Confronting an intruder in your house should be the very last option, no matter if you have a firearm or not.

Just seen the trial, the woman hearing the screams was 177m away, and they were just before the shots. So meaning that the woman screaming was in a locked toilet inside the house. Not sure the judge might value that.

Of course... Someone is in your house where your family is and you just call the police and wait. That makes sense. Otherwise, what's the worst that could happen to your wife and children when the intruder realizes everyone is stirring around? It's not like they are usually armed and dangerous or anything.

lol :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

You don't read very well do you? The story goes that he thought the intruder was in his en-suite bathroom and he shot thru the door from his bed. In order to be in his en-suite bathroom, the "intruder" had to be already in his home, past his bedroom and into the bathroom. Locking the bedroom door, if it really was an intruder, would have served no good.

They say truth is stranger than fiction, but the idea of an intruder breaking into a home so he can lock himself in the bathroom is just fucking ridiculous. Blade Runner must be mentally impaired to think anyone would believe that horse shit.

What do you think are the chances of having the worlds most epic blow out, with both you and your wife heard screaming at eachother at the top of their lungs by the neighbors who live 400+ feet away, and within a minute after... there's a burglar in your bathroom? It could be a burglar... or it could be your wife. Why would you shoot through a door, unless you KNEW without a shadow of a doubt who was on the other side?

Unlikely. I think... very unlikely.

He must be crazy..killing a beautiful woman like that. Guilty as sin!

Freak!...

Don't like that guy

Yeah I agree. Not only that but if there was an intruder locked in the bathroom, that gives him time to check where his girl is, he wasn't in immediate danger therefore him shooting wasn't necessary. The entire story is plain to see, they had a fight, I'm sure some bad things were said by the girl, he lost his cool and shot her.

What's a burglar doing in the bathroom?

Murder.
