You're not wrong there, trouble is its the prosecution that has the majority of them.
I'm sure as time goes by some of these "inconsistancies" will be addessed by the courts, and magnified by the prosecution and defence lawyers.
With regards to the pistol, though technically not illegal. He should not have been in possession of such a pistol. He applied in 2008 and was rejected, only to ge granted a licence in 2010. "He should have been denied a licence for the handgun when he applied in 2010 because he had already spent a night in jail for allegedly assaulting a woman at a party a year earlier."... it should have been later revoked because of his involvement in other incidents, including an alleged threat to break another man’s legs in November and an accidental gunshot at a restaurant in an upscale Johannesburg shopping mall in January. It would appear Mr Pistorius has a short fuse.
(Also I'm sure I've read that the .38, ammunition found was unlicenced, but I can't find the ref. wher I read it)
This is a person that has had no lower legs his whole concious life - barring injury\other reasons I'm sure he could walk perfectly well on his stumps such as
this. I've even seen people run (of sorts) without the use of prosthesis.
That's true and a good point that I was about to make myself. However, Pistorious's argument for him being so afraid was because of his loss of mobility.
Again, the police and or witnesses can't verify what they heard or where is was from - never mind the timescales.
What they said is that they could not idenify "specific" voices, or be certain of the time. That doesn't mean there wasn't screaming or shouting, they also said they heard the gunfire.
No it hasn't.. There isn't any ballistics/forensics reports yet and we won't hear from them until the trial time. Botha made the assumption of downward shots having seen the door but nothing else.
That is true. However in Hilton Bothas, opinion he thought as though the shots had be angled down. The full ballistics report is to follow. Though I suspect all of Hilton Botha. reports and testimonies may well be picked over or dismissed in the coming weeks.
Ignoring the fact that it is supposedly not even a banned substance, I think people have this misconception that steroids\testosterone will turn you into some mindless hulk immediately. Couldn't really be farther from the truth and even if he had taken it it would not have made him 'off his head' unless he was mis-sold LSD or something.
The claim is that these substances were legal "herbal remedies" However they did not say what these legal drugs were? Also how many herbal remedies require needles. Likewise I mentioned the drugs simply as a possible reason for the apparent extreme behaviour.
Why is it odd that a South African lives in South Africa? He lives and trains there, never mind having all his friends and family there. Do you think it odd that ronaldinho now lives in brazil again? Not the safest place in the world either.
That was a question as much as an observation. I was asking
Again, I want to point out that I'm no more for/against OP but rather waiting for the facts before I condemn anyone. As it stands, his story makes much more sense and answers more questions than the farcical set of circumstances the prosecution put forward. Something the magistrate acknowledged yesterday.
IMO if Hilton Botha, had not been so obviously incompetant at his job there would have been far fewer unresolved questions even at this early point in the proceedings.
As StooM has pointed out... Please don't post just after reading what The Sun or the Daily Mail has written, just makes you look daft.
On contrary, I've posted because I don't belive everything I read and ask questions. I simply highlighted what I thought to be valid inconsistencies from a number of sources. None of which were the Mail or the Sun
