oscar pitorius sentence is a disgrace

[carly2579]

 who agrees?? 6  years  with  possibly only  3  years........  i  was  horrified and i  watched the whole  trial

[lyndal1838]

I believe most thinking people outside of South Africa agree and what is worse it has not ended yet....either side can appeal.

reevas  family have said they dont  want too and you  cant  really blame them

Hope he suffers without his prosthetics.

They're considered a weapon and he can't have them.

[carly2579]

the judge was biased  from the beginning in both trials  imo

6 years is better than the last judgement though.

He was out, with house arrest.

what i will never understand is    why didnt he know  reeva wasnt in bed if he really  didnt mean to killl her he would have looked for her  right?? instead of shooting  4   times

crazy kind of system that has the second sentencing done by the same lame duck (i presume shes in love with the guy) judge who completely screwed it up the first time.

as soon a i knew it was judge 'free him he's innocent' i wasn't at all suprised she was so soft on him.

i heard if its apealed again by the prosecution its goes to a higher group of judges who are rather more effective.

I thought he would get minimum 15 years.

However it is what you can prove, not what appears or seems probable.

And lets just for a minute think...........................

................................what if he really thought he was shooting someone else and not the girl he loved.....................

Then he has gone through hell.
