Article: Oscar Pistorius affidavit

It doesn't really matter what he says though, in millions of South Africans minds he has been guilty since last Thursday.

Innocent until proven guilty does not exist on forums.

to the LAW of the land

Even if he it was an accident and his affidavit is really what happened that night, he will always be guilty of murder in the eyes of millions of people around the world.
 
Why would he kill her, he can not profit from it at all. Its a massive mistake.

I trust he will be back on the track soon. He has loads of support from the sporting world, Bolt supports him too.

no he won't be back on the track soon. he has been withdrawn from some races as has been reported in the media.
 
I think more shocking is the News24 reporting - reading the actual affidavit compared to what the news quoted it's quite a difference. Still makes no sense.

My question to all the smart people on MyBB: Why would you have a fan on the balcony?

To store it around the corner out of sight. Maybe it was one of those R99 pink fans and he didn't want his visitors to see.
 
Whether his version of the story is true or not - here is my experience of an almost similar situation of late night 'intruders':

This was a few years back. I was awoken by my wife...she was standing by the bedroom door and locked it as i woke up...the alarm was blasting (note I was not awoken by the alarm :D ). She said..."there is someone in the house". We lived alone with baby in our room

I panicked and told her to take the baby and go into the bathroom and lock it. Suddenly the bedroom door started shaking as if someone was taunting us trying to get in. I pushed against the door and started slamming against it with my hand (dont know why :) ) maybe I thought I could scare them away. I was terrified, and felt physically very weak like I had no strenght and felt completely helpless.

I stood their until the armed response came out...To make a long story short...It turned out it was not an intruder.

We forgot to close a window, and somehow the wind set off the alarm and was banging against our bedroom door. :D :D

If I had a gun, I most probably would have shot at whomever I thought was standing behind that door :o right or wrong
 
That would have been premeditated murder then.

Good thing I didnt and still dont own a gun then. While the law may be clear, I think I can still sympathise with anyone in that kind of situation - not that I am sympathising with Oscar, cause I dont know if he's telling the truth; but IF he is I can understand to an extend
