Oscar Pistorius: The Sentence

[R13...]

wont there be another appeal after this one?
I mean technically its possible for another appeal? or has that been exhausted now?

I mean if you have money and enough time to wear out the lawyers and judges representing you, then
you can keep this charade going until you served your entire sentence...

He can appeal to the concourt if he thinks theres a constitutional case to make. Unlikely one exists so it'd be a waste of money.

This is good. Original sentence very lenient.

he got the cash still, so I think he will continue to appeal,

he got nothing better to do and the funds to support it...

So glad that Pistorious got a nice Black Friday present! Hope it was wrapped up in a bow!

Maybe in 13 years time he will learn he is not the most important person in the universe?

Events that happened aside.

This just shows how incompetent our justice system is, especially judges. They are unable to interpret events presented to them. They are unable to interpret laws. They are unable to form proper judgments and above all sentences. Everything needs to go on appeal to get their shoddy work corrected.

I do not think our justice system is fit to put people on trial. This has been proven in OP's case and will also be proven in a more recent case - and you all know which one I am referring to.

Question is, how long can you close your eyes and hide the incompetence of such important function?

Pretty much this. Just imagine a case you're involved in and Masipa greets you from the judges desk..
