Oscar Pistorius

[nevynreally]

I'm surprised there's no thread already about this. Is it because it's not an Australian case?

Can't see them getting much more national "sporting prowess" out of Pistorius. He'd probably be way out of condition by now, and he's not getting any younger.

Why would he be out of condition?  Didn't he apply to go to some overseas competition soon after the murder?  He was denied this only because of bail conditions.  He's only just over one year older than he was at the last event.

[icyfroth]

Applying for a competition...is that the same as training regularly for competition?

How old was he last year? And has he been training whilst on bail?

[polksaladallie]

He was training then because he wanted to go and was angry when refused.  I do not know if he has been training for the last year, but at a guess I would say so.  It is his life and his job.  He is arrogant enough to believe he will continue to be free.

you know the old saying about assume don't you, polks?

I'm surprised that he got bail,  actually. 

The judge was made well aware of the fact

that he had sold everything he owned and was

living with an uncle.

The prosecution considered him a flight risk

because he had nothing to keep him in S.A.

The judge gave him bail, but put the onus on the uncle,

to make sure he turned up on October 13th

There's an interview with his ex girlfriend coming up i'm not sure if it's on 60ty minutes or another programme, from the shorts I would say it will be a compelling interview. I recall her words along the lines of 'this could have been me'.....

Personally, I think it could have been anyone.

I don't know if they did drug tests on him or not

at the time,  but to me, it sounded like 'roid rage'

That would explain his behaviour to me.

But,  I'm also guessing that they did drug test him.

It sure looks like 'roid rage' to me though

Poor Reeva, the terror she must have felt,

trying to cower behind that toilet

Very scary.

Did they do a Psych evaluation on him?  Does anyone know?
