Blade Runner found not guilty of murder

[SunsN07BookIt]

Pretoria, South Africa (CNN) - Oscar Pistorius did not commit murder the night he killed Reeva Steenkamp, a judge said Thursday.

He did not intend to kill her, Judge Thokozile Masipa said.

But his conduct was "negligent," she said before adjourning for the day, suggesting she will find the Olympian guilty of culpable homicide

I thought he didn't have a leg to stand on

[nathanjizzle]

i guess you can say, he got a leg up on the prosecution.

speaking about this OJ stuff, i recently found out that when they asked the lead detective at trial if he planted evidence at OJ's house he plead the 5th. :wtf:


Oscar is guilty as f*ck. He lied about what happened, the bullet holes were too high for him to have been on his stumps. He had a previous gun incident. the guy is a roided out hothead.

Roses are red,

Don't try to surprise
Oscar Pistorius.

Pistorious and his family are apparently happy with the verdict. They were seen exchanging hugs and kisses during the recess.

Best case scenario for Pistorius.

So firing FOUR shots into a door is not intent to kill???

[sweggeh]

This thread is misleading. He was cleared of first degree and second degree murder but has been found guilty of Culpable Homicide, which is the South African version of Manslaughter. The conviction can carry up to 15 years in prison, but we will see what happens at the sentencing.

I personally after watching a lot of the trial live on TV strongly doubt he intended to murder his girlfriend. I hope he is freed but I will assume he will spend atleast 5 years in prison due to his negligence.

Intent to kill, world's greatest knock knock joke. All in the same. :confusedshrug:

The man's got a very short temper and is a gun nut.

Witnesses heard shouting coming from inside the house an hour before the shooting. At the time of the shooting, witnesses said they heard the sound of a door slam followed shortly by the shots.

He fired not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 shots into the bathroom. During this people heard her screaming.

Let's not even get into how many times he has changed his story.

Wake up.

[TheMan]

Pistorious gon' get away with murder:facepalm

His story isn't believable, you don't go shooting up a bathroom when your gf was with you and you are absolutely positive she isn't in the bathroom and it is in fact an intruder. Dude actually put on his prothestics apparently too. Doesn't make sense...poor girl is now dead.

[ThePhantomCreep]

Even OJ is outraged.

its essentially manslaughter, maximum of 15 years

But sentencing ranges only from a minimum of suspended sentence up to 15 years. After letting this guy walk I don't trust that she is going to give him the max.
