Oscar Pistorius

[Anubis]

Was due to be released today, on what would have been her 32nd birthday. For some reason his release has been suspended.

Haven't the Prosecution just applied to re-try him for murder. I'm sure I read that somewhere earlier this week.

I'm not sure mate but even if they have, I doubt they'd keep him in jail. You got to wonder who in their right fucking mind wanted to free him on her birthday.

What an appalling waste of a life

I know. Fucking legs on her.

Get him back to prison.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Hope he gets the highest possible sentence and is slung inside before New year, cunt of a man.

Hope he gets the highest possible sentence and is slung inside before New year, cunt of a man. 

 

The minimum sentence for murder is 15 years but judges can apply some discretion.

 

Pistorius can challenge the ruling in the constitutional court but only if his lawyers can argue that his constitutional rights have been violated. Legal expert Mannie Witz told the BBC that there do not appear to be any grounds for such an appeal.

 

The only place to make an appeal would be at the Constitutional Court. It would only hear the matter if:

• The defence can show that Pistorius' rights have been infringed in the way justice was carried out
• Or if the defence can show that hearing the case would be in the public's interest and of national importance.

Mr Witz says as it stands, there are no grounds for either.

 

South African law does not make provision for someone to be placed under house arrest for more than five years - so Oscar Pistorius will definitely go back to prison.

 

The minimum sentence for murder is 15 years.

 

But the defence can argue that there are compelling circumstances that should be considered, for example his disability - and the fact that the double amputee has already served a year in prison.

 

Experts think anywhere between 10 and 12 years would be a fair sentence for murder in his case.

[Byrnie]

Great stuff. Maximum sentence possible please.

Dreadful individual as I noticed at the Olympics a few years ago, as is that other chap with springy legs who climbs mountains. These types have no regard for anyone but themselves in their pursuit of achievement in the face of adversity as such. Cunt he is, so take him back down for many a year.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Hope someone chops off his arms and they use him as football.

 

Fine woman are hard enough to come by without this cunt wiping them out.

[Bjornebye]

Finally her soule can b-lade to rest.

[Liverpool lad]

[Russ Atmosphere]

Oscar Pistorius granted bail. Back in court on 18th April.

[General Dryness]

Apparently he wanted to sell that bathroom door.

 

But his missus was dead against it.

that is so bad I had to rep it.

[Dr Nowt]

Seems a good idea to have the original judge providing the sentencing.  What could possibly go wrong.

No need for that.  Just wait in the bog - someone'll be along in a minute.

[stringvest]

For a man who gets his pedicures at B&Q, he seems to have a lot of influence in the judiciary.  

[Anubis]

It'll be interesting to see how she reacts to the amount of criticism she got from the appeal court.

it will.  But more importantly, it's a crazy set of circumstances and one it would appear engineered to give Pistorius the best chance of a light sentence.  

[The_Goat]

All this messing around with electronic tags, house arrest, taking his passport etc. no need for it all. just whip off his falsies. Sorted.

[navbasi]

 

I'm assuming the tag won't be on his ankle!!

[lifetime fan]

Now that could be fun - you could stick his leg in the dogs mouth and take him for a walk and get him breached everyday until he's inside again.
