Oscar Pistorius Trial Part 8

[Roussette]

here is Number 7.

This is incredibly intense legal argument now. I'm not able to keep up typing. I'm focussing on listening.

Thanks

I agree. I'm a few minutes behind, but I'm there.

Dolus eventualis out then?

Apparently so. No murder.

new to this thread, but urgh, his crying.

So, in laymens terms, she's saying it isn't proven that he meant to kill? Is that right?

Surely he has to serve time?! If only for the unlawful discharge in the restaurant his own defence Said he was guilty of.
Thanks for updating people I can't have the trial on children everywhere and I don't want my 6 year old watching.

How could he have known that firing 4 shots into a confined space could've killed someone?! Seriously?!

Mama, me too: we are watching Sarah & Duck. Much more heartwarming.

Yep. I'm struggling with that too, AGnu. It's tricky, I have always said I trust her, but I am baffled as to how he could possibly have not known that he was likely to kill someone by shooting them four times with extremely destructive bullets.

Culpable homicide has no minimum term dictated so depending on mitigating factors.

Disagree he couldn't have forseen the consequences - he knew that if he fired a warning shot in the(bigger) bathroom that the ricochet could hit him. that being the case, why the need for four shots fired into an enclosed, smaller space if only to warn/injure?

Marking place as at work and can't listen-watch.

Frankie. What's wrong with his crying?

Ha! maybe State should appeal!?
