I know his estate well, been there loads. It's a very affluent community with security guards and it's fenced off. The odds of an intruder making it past all the security measures and in to his en-suite bathroom undetected are virtually nil.
He knew exactly what he was doing. Did he intend to kill her? Probably not. Did he grab his gun in a fit of rage (roid rage perhaps?) and shoot through the door whilst being possessed by the red mist? Absolutely.
His whole family are also fairly well known to be arrogant narcissists in Pretoria. His brother has a few armed convictions against him as well.

Good! Never believed a word of this phony, or his crocodile tears.
The judge prior also needs sentencing for such a pathetic punishment.

He must buy some really nice toiletries if he shoots first to protect them.
My bet is that he buys all those tasty looking (though horribly tasting) things from Lush.

I'd know if the wife was in bed or not, but that aside I'd make absolutely 100% certain that she wasn't in the loo before blasting away through the door.
Whether firing when bullets "may hit" another human is manslaughter or not depends entirely on circumstances, and the law in that jurisdiction.
From what I saw of the evidence, which was basically TV news and a documentary, I thought the story Pistorius came out with was a self-serving crock of excrement, and that he clearly missed his vocation. He should have been a fiction writer.
I think this ruling might finally represent some justice for Reeva and her family, and a lengthy sentence is thoroughly deserved.

About time this arrogant **** is finally getting his just desserts. Never believed a single word when he was trying to defend himself and his crocodile tears.
As much as I'd like to see this despicable scumbag get his backside ripped open in prison, I imagine he will be under protection by the guards or put in a different part of prison. I hope not though, I also hope he isn't allowed to top himself...he needs to suffer for what he did to Reeva.

What's a life sentence typically in SA?
Soldato
Well it's 15 years minimum for murder.
Man of Honour
Well even if he only serves half that for "good behavior", at least it's a good term.
From what I understand he will have to do ten of them in prison, as house arrest is a maximum of five.
Soldato
He's lucky as it's not that long ago SA hanged murderers.

I can't honestly understand how people still think it was manslaughter and not murder?
His intentions were perfectly clear and how he wasn't found guilty of murder in the first place is completely beyond me.

Should be back inside. Why have they granted him bail?
Soldato
Because there is an appeal from the Defense, according to the BBC. Hearing is set for April next year.
If his appeal is settled by then, if not then April is just to update the court on it's progress.

Granted bail when he's a convicted murderer? wtf?

Allowed out unsupervised? Jeez, murderers have it cushy these days. Bring back the noose.
