I can see it going to retrial.

Not guilty of second degree murder. Now culpable homicide (their version of manslaughter) or acquittal now left. This is going to be another OJ Simpson I think. Karma caught up with OJ eventually though.

Sounds like a bit of a screw up so far. Stating he didn't intend to kill (Reeva only) by shooting 4 shots through the door but should also apply to the 'probable' intruder. All a bit odd.

An innocent girl died at the hands of an angry cry baby with a gun

IMHO only having one person to deliberate could be open to fraud not saying it has happened in this case. I feel they had a barny she ran to the loo to get away for a while... he followed tried to break the door down with a cricket bat, that failed he then went and got his to gun and probably tried to shoot the lock off... the rest we no.

That would be a good theory with the door. if he had shot the lock.

Well, if the lock was an intruder, he would have shot it

I don't see how his is not murder. It's so obvious from his personality and previous incidents that he shot at her in anger. He intended to shoot her, so whether he intended to kill or maime her, it should be murder. imo.

Gary L · 11-09-2014, 20:51

When I was watching a bit of it earlier. the judge seemed to be basing her verdict on (he said this, and he said that. he said he loved her so I don't think he would shoot her)

she seems to have dismissed a lot of evidence simply because she can.
she mentioned the screams were probably his and not hers. she doesn't know that.

I can see him getting a suspended prison sentence the way she's going. and I can see a retrial happening because of her 'personal' opinions and prejudices.

I think her problem was that speculation isn't evidence so she couldn't use it.

This is what I meant in my earlier post.

I said all the way along murder. Whether it was a pre meditated one or not, it was still murder. He used a gun instead of the cricket bat. That poor woman, I can only imagine what she was thinking whilst in that bathroom.

Gary L · 11-09-2014, 22:30

All the time it was going on. he never knew she was still in the bed fast asleep.
in all the time it took him to get the gun and his legs. it never occurred to him to check it wasn't her in the bathroom.

he never knew that firing 4 bullets through a door into an enclosed space would kill the person in there.
he had no intention of killing whoever was behind that door. even after he chose to go and get a weapon that is purely to kill. he wasn't to know that there was a possibility of that happening.

definitely a retrial. judge useless.
