Pistorious.

Did you see that judge delivering her verdict?

On and on........ I gave up watching in the end she was rambling on so much.

So she gave him credit for saying sorry eh? Six years....... is that enough and should the prosecution appeal?

Six years is rediculous - and they said he'll probably be out in three.

This arrogant murderer has turned into a snivelling little wretch, crying and begging while being interviewed, and then hobbling into court on his stumps hoping for the sympathy vote. He should have got life.

He can pump 5 bullets into a toilet cubicle, not big enough to swing a cat in, while somebody is inside it.......He's found guilty of manslaughter ????......then it's upgraded to Murder on appeal and He's sent back to the same judge, that the appeal court overruled, for sentencing......she then gives Him 6 years......half time 3 years......1 year served.......2 years remaining ( possibly 3 at a push ).  Remind me not to go there in a hurry.

What an absolute travesty ! An abomination ! !

Yes, open for appeal. Foregone conclusion how that will pan out !

Now I suppose they will be beavering away trying to make his life inside as comfortable and as cushy as possible, while instead what they should be doing is confining him to solitary confinement in a windowless cell 24/7, and for the 29 years of Reeva's life.

And Thokozile Mazipa should serve a custodial sentence also.

[023mjc]

Not for the 29 years of Reeva's life - it should be 50 years for the life she won't have.

[suzieseaside]

So the judge said poor man, his life and career are in ruins, he is a fallen hero etc. 

Other criminals don't have lives and talents? 

Just because of his 'special' status, he gets less than half a minimum sentence.  What is it about the word MINIMUM that is so hard to comprehend?

A case of one law for the rich possibly?.
