Beware defamatory Oscar tweets

A legal expert has warned users of social network, Twitter that tweets against Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius may potentially lead to a defamation claim down the line.

To every single person?

Paranoia.

There is no way in hell (as far as I understand it but could be completely wrong) it can stick if you start off your opinion with words like the following:

"Judging by the information in the media... he looks... guilty/innocent"

"The evidence suggests he is guilty/innocent...."

"It looks like he may well be... guilty/innocent..."

Be clever out there folks! Be safe! A lawyer is reading every single tweet and post!!!!

No, judging by preceding events, they will probably chase you into the restroom and shoot you point blank

For the record: When I use the name Oxcart Pistolius I'm talking about an imaginary person on drugs who shot his imaginary girlfriend.
