Mikey1874 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 State prosecutors are appealing the 6 year sentence calling it "shockingly lenient".

As others have said still think he lost his temper and shot at her. State believe that too. Quite right as well. How can you get 5 years for Manslaughter and only 1 year more for Murder? I think Judge Masipa shouldn't be allowed anywhere near this case again, as that's twice now that she's made a dogs dinner out of the sentencing.

Ibrahim Tall Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 South Africa going to just keep re-running this trial until they get a result their happy with? Seems 'fair'. The constant re-running of the trial is clearly having a likely permanent effect on both the physical and mental health of both Reevas family and Pistorius, given the whole idea of prison etc is both punishment and rehabilitation surely it's time to finally focus on that and allow everyone to get on with both that and there lives.

Arthur Morgan Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Who cares about his health, 6 years is nothing for murder. If I was related to Reeva I would be going batshit crazy. Would want him dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 As I understand it trial judge Masipa is still to rule on whether an appeal against her sentence can go ahead. Re point above this lenient sentence is a big deal in South Africa. Right or wring it's seen as not being justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Application for increased sentence for murder denied. By the same judge who ruled him guilty of only manslaughter and sent him down for 5 years. And the same judge who eventually found him guilty of murder only to increase the sentence from 5 years to 6 years. SA justice system is a fecking joke and that judge should be made to resign. x 10000000000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Cockade Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 anything is possible now over there in a country where the President is trying to get the Finance Minister arrested for doing a good job and trying to prevent corruption (ie stopping the President and his cronies get their hands on millions of rands of Public money) and police chiefs are sacked if they do a good job and go after the bad guys rather than do dirty work for the men in charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon Sailor Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Reeva Steenkamp's parents are preparing to meet her murderer, the former Paralympics star Oscar Pistorius. It is part of a process that could lead to his eventual release on parole. The South African athlete has been moved to a prison closer to Barry and June Steenkamp to enable the meeting to go ahead. Pistorius has served half his 13 years and five months sentence, handed to him for the 2013 Valentine's Day killing. The Steenkamp family lawyer has previously said the announcement he was being considered for release came as a shock, but that they were willing to participate in what the South African authorities describe as "restorative justice". As part of this, offenders are expected to speak to their victims or their relatives. They must also acknowledge the harm they have caused, the department of correctional services said. He has been moved from a prison in the capital, Pretoria to one in the port city of Gqeberha, previously known as Port Elizabeth, in the Eastern Cape. Pistorius shot his girlfriend Ms Steenkamp dead in 2013, saying he mistook her for a burglar at his Pretoria home. He fired four times through a locked toilet door.

SectionDJambo Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Has he ever admitted knowing she was in toilet? Until he does, they should keep him where he is.

Spellczech Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I still cannot fathom how his first reaction on hearing a noise in the bathroom is to grab his gun and shoot through the door, without even considering that the woman who sleeps next to him and wasn't there might be the one making the noise?...He's never explained it. He should be locked up until he does. I'm 99.9% sure he knew exactly what he was doing that night. Arrogant sod just thought his celebrity and ability to turn on the crocodile tears would help him blag it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
