Oscar Pistorious Pt3

[bunchamunchycrunchycarrots]

Hope no one else has started this.

anonacfr I agree. I sincerely hope he isn't back in training next week. I can't believe his trainer even suggested it.

According tweets the yes came from the back of court

Meaning what bling? The public gallery?

I agree diddl, there is nothing to cheer about here at all.

Sorry I meant only not enough proof that he is a flight risk, or might threaten witnesses etc.

He hasn't got away with anything - yet.

He's still a murderer - there's no question that he murdered her.

Jesus wept, the BBC coverage cut out right at the point where he announced the verdict. ARSE! Two hours of waffle for that!

I think, by the time the trial comes around, there'll be considerably more evidence to work with in terms of ballistics & forensics, so it's hard to say, current. But Botha certainly fucked up, didn't he?

I have just listened for 2 hours & my BBC audio feed cut off about 20 secs before he gave his decision. Jeeeesus.

It says on Sky News that his family shouted out in delight.

I think so yes, not from the family

Surely he won't be able to go home - wouldn't it still be a crime scene?

Probably not BeCool but he has other property in Pretoria.

Hang on - apparently he's now down in the cells being processed before being released to his family.

Aren't there any conditions set to the bail? Or doesn't that judge have to reveal that publicly?

Tweet on twitter says a member of the Kenny kuene entourage shouted yes, this tweet from a journalist inside the court room

You'd think no access to firearms for a start

Ellie, yes they waiting for the conditions, magistrate just taking a break. Not surprised after talking for nearly 2 hours.

Ah. OK.

The judge pointed out that Botha was not the state's case. I think there are going to be some very uncomfortable questions for Pistorius when he stands trial.

If indeed he does...

Either way, I think the big career/hero stuff is over for him.

Bail set at 250,000 Rand which is about £18,000.

£20k bail is that right?

Can't contact witnesses and must surrender passport.

X-posted

Trial to start 4th June BBC are saying.

I bet the SA judges are all trying to book holidays for June! Who would want this case, it looks impossible to decide.

Have raised bail amount to 1million Rand. Don't know what that is in pounds
