Trial Discussion Thread #52 - 14.11.9, Day 41 ~announcement of the verdict~

[Fuskier]

Judge states that accused leans towards fight, did not use other reasonable means available to him instead of firing the 4 shots.

Good morning all!
I'll be assuming the brace position in anticipation of todays procedings :rollercoaster:

We'll hear Judge Masipa's version of justice for Oscar Pistorius today.

My prediction is 6 months of taking her shopping weekly and mowing her lawn every other week.

Judge: Explanation of the conduct of the accused (his background) does not excuse the conduct of the accused.

...where is everyone?

I'm here, don't you see me?? Good morning to you and other WS members! :smile:

In GER at 9:06am and waiting for ............... nothing as I'm still confused in my head because of yesterday's court day and Masipa's views on the witness statements and on OP. I still can't believe it.

In court. #OscarPistorius just arrived. He's looking, dare I say, more relaxed than usual. (https://twitter.com/BBCAndrewH/status/510323773250486272)

I'll bet he is....

:floorlaugh:
With a dinner or two thrown in for good measure.

In the news on TV:
No murder, no manslaughter, today the verdict, after several weeks another court day with negotiation about the penalty with judge, Roux and Nel, if needed also with witnesses. We have a long time to wait and see ............... to be disappointed anyway.

 

[soozieqtips]

See you all in a few hours. Have to go out now. Sigh.

There certainly is some as I've just been forced onto headphones and it's really loud. Try reloading?
