Oscar Pistorius trial discussion

Was listening to a south african law expert on the tv before and he said under south african law the benefit of the doubt goes to the defendant, so if theres the slightest doubt he has to get aquitted, and he reckons so far in his opinion there hasnt been enough to convict him without doubt so he at least wont get the main charge.

....doesn't appear to be much doubt for me, all the witness statements support the Prosecution case as does the photographic evidence.
 
Innocent before proven guilty though mate. Obviously the trial process is there for a reason.

If we put everyone away that was suspected of things we'd have serious problems.
Goes without saying, Groucho. He is a murderer though.
 


We can.

As irrespective of the Judge's verdict he killed his girlfriend by shooting her 4 times in his bog. This simple fact won't change whatever the outcome.

That wouldn't nessessarily make him a 'murderer' though.

Although for the record I think he's guilty as sin. But groucho's right. Until he's found guilty, innocent he is. South Africa is different when it comes to shoot now think later. You don't mess about if someone's in your house there put it that way. Still think he's got an anger problem, killed her and now deeply regrets it.
 
If he gets found innocent it doesn't mean he definitely didn,t do it, plenty of people who have been guilty have been cleared of charges before. I hope that he rots in jail for the rest of his life whether he meant it or not he killed her arsin about with a gun.
