Breaking news. Oscar Pistorius found guilty of manslaughter

Yesterday Oscar Pistorius was found not guilty of premeditated murder and second degree murder because according to the judge, his conduct after the shooting was 'inconsistent' with someone who intended to commit murder. But he has been found guilty of manslaughter this morning. The judge said he acted negligently when he fired shots into the toilet door. The question now is, will he be jailed for manslaughter?

*He was also found not guilty of the first firearm charge - (firing a gun through the roof of his car)
*He was found not guilty of the third firearm charge (unlawfully possessing 38 rounds of ammunition at his home without having a license).
*He was found guilty of the second firearm charge. He discharged a weapon in a public place, a restaurant called Tashas and asked his friend to take the blame. The judge says Oscar was sufficiently trained in the use of firearms, so should not have asked for a firearm in a public place

The judge said no one submitted that there was an intention to pull the trigger, but that does not absolve him of the crime of negligently handling a firearm. Will Oscar walk?

    1. This is just the beginning. He can be tried again in a civil court. Truth is he's finished all the same. He's broke and his career has ended. With his disability what else can he do. One moment of anger, in my opinion of course, has led to the loss of 2 promising lives! We should be alert always because the devil is roaming about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

    1. He might walk; will probably get off with a huge fine. I then wonder how late Reeva's parents will find closure when they know he's walking freely after *killing their child. I hope he gets some jail time no matter how small.

    1. Exactly. Imagine how God who created him feels. If he has asked God for forgiveness he has got it! We are here judging him. Let's just pray Reeva made it to heaven and that her parents can get over this

  14. Highest , 2 -3 yrs in jail and his off d hook . Well , heard from an SA guy that his late gf was another karma victim , heard she once fucked up her ex for Oscar . Well , that's life even with her beauty just see how she ended. We all need to be careful in life , this karma thing done they fear me but it's just that it's a self centered world and it hits the self centered people. Omashe oooo

  28. Weeks of evidence by people and all the judge believes is his version.
    Her judgement makes no sense, it is absolutely ridiculous considering the circumstance and the weight of evidence against him.

    He is guilty of MURDER not culpable homicide!
