Oscar Pistorius - Page 14

I've never had much doubt to his guilt and I feel so very sorry for her family. One thought that also occurred to me this evening. I know that crime/break-ins are somewhat prevalent in parts of Africa. However, suppose that it was a break-in and it was only a kid. He'd have willing shot the kid to death rather than find out what he was really dealing with? Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. IMHO.

This happens all the time in this country. People have shot and killed their own kids accidently mistaking them for a burglar. We have a shoot first, ask questions later attitude here. Why is it so hard to believe that Pistorius, having heard a noise, jumped up, grabbed his gun and shot?

How many burglars lock themselves in a bathroom??? Would you assume someone broke into your house to use the toilet??? Its an outlandish story.

I watched the recorded feed from today. I find it interesting that Oscar was crying, sobbing and throwing up but today he was able to bring forward extensive testimony about contaminated evidence and tampered evidence in his own defense. He also conveniently had memory lapses when the questions were too hot to handle. He's very self-serving.

No, but I'm not a hot head with a gun. I find it amusing that many are talking about why Pistorius didn't find out who was in the bath first, why he didn't wait to shoot, etc. etc while at the same time we have example after example of the same thing in this country and those shooters are just "protecting themselves".

An O.J. Simpson type of defense will not save him because the Forensic Evidence will prove him guilty of all his lies. Yes, he's very self-serving, narcissistic, and a control freak. He murdered her because she wanted out of his twisted "love" for her, and I believe she tried to sneak out the bathroom window to escape him.

This trial has no jury ... just the judge, who will decide the outcome. I wonder how long judges take to deliberate in this sort of trial.

He is all that you said, a good actor too!

I think this will a case of "I am not sure" what his intent was. Fear can really drive people to do things they would not normally do. If he was going to shoot her intentionally, then why do it through a bathroom door. You wouldn't know if the shots were hitting the target or not.

I feel bad for everyone in this case.

It seems that there are clues that she locked herself in the bathroom, took the key, and the cell phone. Reports from neighbors indicate they heard a fight earlier. He could easily have lost his temper to the point that when she didn't come out, he got the gun and shot through the door, either totally irrational or he wanted to scare her, but not kill her. Many people in a fit of rage do something that they would never think of doing in a calmer state. I find it hard to believe that they were sleeping together and he didn't notice she was not in the bed when he got up, grabbed the gun, and headed toward the bathroom. That's just not logical. He is in damage mode right now, and as he said is "fighting for his life." Whether the judge buys his story with its myriad of holes, remains to be seen.
