Putrification in a hot climate necessitates swift disposal of the body. With so many deaths per day, they don't have space to keep bodies in the fridge unless absolutely necessary.
I cant believe what am actually reading on these forums. His story is the biggest load of tosh ever. Anyone who is defending him is as sick as he is. Goodbye
Goodbye and please refuse to sit on a jury if called. This is a bail hearing not a trial - all the evidence has not yet been presented upon which he can be judged innocent or guilty and of what crime.

Good point. Guess I was too lazy to type out that there could be a hundred reasons for the quick service.

It's not a 3rd World backwater. Of course they have the refrigeration facilities needed, especially in a murder case.
How can OP uncle know what his nephew said in court was the true ? Does he not know some people will lie :rolleyes:
Possibly because people always generally support their family or friends. How many times have you heard a parent describe, say, a young son as a little Angel' when said child has been terrorising neighbourhood?
Before we start bemoaning SA's cranky Justice system letting people out on bail who randomly shoot the occupants of their toilet .
It's worth remembering that Phil Spector got out on a Million dollar bail for both his trials, however a second Jury found his account of what happened the night Lana Clarkson was shot a pile of horseshit and sent him to the pen for Life.
“Although we are obviously relieved that Oscar has been granted bail, this is still a very sad time for the family of Reeva and for us. We are grateful that the Magistrate recognised the validity and strength of our application. As the family, we are convinced that Oscar’s version of what happened on that terrible night will prove to be true."
I know - I thought I'd done a pretty good job of wasting the day watching News24 and reading bits of the forum - it seems I need to show more dedication to keep up.
I hadn't thought about the dressing question. Perhaps I'll ask that now.
Always nice to see a reasonable poster who waits for all the facts before coming to a conclusion.
Enough facts have already emerged to make a judgement on whether or not he should have been shooting through that door, or whether or not it was his shots that killed the victim.
The issue in doubt is his state of mind: whether or not he intended to kill.
I lean towards the view that he killed unintentionally but with extreme recklessness, which would probably make him guilty of culpable homicide. The sentence for that ranges from a fine and suspended prison sentence, to several years in jail.
Because of the extreme recklessnessness of his actions, a sentence of around 10 years in jail is appropriate IMO (compared with 15 years to life for premeditated murder). I have no doubt that he will get less than normal though, because of his money and fame, so he may only have to serve a year or two (with remission) and could be out before the next Olympics. He may also be acquitted on technicalities but either way, he will pretty well have got away with it.
Would an application for bail happen in the UK for a murder charge? His showbiz status released him. If he wasn't high profile then he be sat in prison for months before trial.
Lost for words over this decision.
Whole thing shows South Africa in a very bad light.
Oh funny Brits are saying Oscar getting bail shows SA in a bad light. What about Dewani who is accused by SA authorities of hiring people to kill his wife but is being kept safe in the UK and void extradition because he is depressed:rolleyes:
But nothing new here, UK is a haven for criminals and suspects no wonder even the most hardened criminals and terrorists run for safety in the UK as they wont be extradited
So if OP is not allowed to go back home, not have access to guns (presumably if he is staying at his parents house his father will have to be careful re his) I wonder how safe he is going to feel if he is as paranoid as the media have made out?
Comments
Quite!
Insensitive, imho. Why not go home and keep to themselves.
I'll accept your apology with the following conditions
Payment of the 100,000 rand by BACS to my account before 4pm
From The Telegraph:
Or a very "easy" time depending on which approach Pistorius's connections deem to work best.

They certainly don't seem to have a lot of dignity and sensitivity, but maybe they've got enough money not to have to. :cool:
There are other ways of interfering with witnesses besides intimidation. :cool:

That would be fantastic. Imagine how a flame war would look on it. Pretty entertaining, I bet.

Now I can see there are malicious people about.
I'm not terribly convinced.

What witnesses?
There are earwitnesses.
There will be forensics of all kinds I would imagine.
Investigating officers including Inspector Gadget.
