Oscar Verdict

Breaking news: Judge Thokozile Masipa has found "Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius guilty of the culpable homicide of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. He was also found guilty of negligently handling a firearm that went off in a restaurant. Yesterday the judge rejected the farcical prosecution case of premeditated murder for what the French would call Le crime passionnelle. Blasting five shots through a toilet door over the purported fear that an intruder had climbed through the window to have a tinkle is equally farcical. Some people think Oscar deserves an Oscar for his performance on the witness stand. Sentencing is to be carried out on 13 October (CLICK).
