Oscar Pistorius thread

if the police have dropped the ball so early in the precedings, makes you wonder how they will have any credibility when it finally does reach trial

As the Magistrate has just pointed out though, Botha was the first Senior Officer on the scene, so his statement was important. He went on to say that they have far better state expert investigators working on it, and its important they should do. Given that they also appointed the top South African investigator yesterday, its clear that they are handling it that way.
 
I don't think the chap talking (and boy, can he talk :o) buys his story either. It's clearly nonsense.

Indeed:p...from what i just heard a few mins ago, he ripped the defence apart saying they havent got a strong case against the prosecution or something along those lines.

Could go any way now ie either he gets bail or doesnt.
 
He never was a flight risk, he's an international star that can easily be spotted by any number of people and being a double amputee makes it even easier to distinguish him from someone else.

His income is not massive, sure its more than a majority here but 5.6m rand is around £400,000 and that income would vanish should he skip the country and attempt to hide.
