You wake in the middle of the night and hear someone in the bathroom. Your wife/gf who you went to bed with is not there. Must be an intruder in the bathroom, best shoot some bullets throught the door.
With all the other inconsistencies in the story it was obvioulsy a pack of lies and 5 years/possibly 10 months is an utter joke. Nothing to do with justice and everything to do with having an expensive legal team. Let's face it a poor man would be going down for 20 yrs.
He took the life of someone in their prime. if he had held up a bank he would get a longer sentence.
..expecting DA to pipe up with his "you're a sanctimonious leftly" claims now.

Personally I find the way he is being portrayed as the victim, offensive.
Hang the murdering bastard!
Two years in Reading Jail seemed a bit harsh, but it's a bit late to complain about it now.

Originally posted by Scruff View PostI am sorry, but I disagree with this type of wholesale judgement. I have spent 38 years living there, full time and I still spend at least a month there, per year. I have never come across an incident of domestic violence which has been tolerated, by the authorities, or by society.
The fact that there are higher numbers of violent cases of abuse, is more of a social issue and a reflection of the break down of the mores of society.

Originally posted by mudskipper View PostWell I think he's lucky as **** not to have got done for murder.
But, if we accept (as the judge has) that he did not know Reeva was behind the door, and thought it was an intruder, his actions were probably no different to many other scared white South Africans.
If it had been an intruder that he'd shot, he wouldn't even be in court.
So given what he was found guilty of, I'm not convinced he'll get a gaol sentence.
