Oscar's Sentence

[SueEllen]

Do you get paid to be under house arrest? I.e. in jail you get fed and watered, heating etc. Under house arrest someone needs t pay those bills.

Depends on the house arrest conditions.

We have bail conditions in this country, tagging and open prisons. In these cases you can be allowed out and about to go to work.

It's OK - Reeva's family have said they're going to repay the money that he gave them...

Who gives a f*** what happens to him.

Mind you he joins a long list of elite criminally minded athletes linky.

Some would argue that a legal precedent of being able to shoot your partner while they were in a locked room, and then claim that you didn't know it was them and didn't mean to kill them when you shot at them in an enclosed space and get away with less than a year in jail would be dangerous.

Seemingly, the world's media and lots of people on CUK. I think you meant "I don't give a..." but then you cared enough to post about it so you care strongly about not caring apparently?

Sorry I should have phrased that correctly. I don't care if he starves and has to live with a relation whilst under house arrest.

Domestic violence isn't taken seriously in South Africa whether the perpetrator is Black or White.

[Freaki Li Cuatre]

Well I think he's lucky as **** not to have got done for murder.

But, if we accept (as the judge has) that he did not know Reeva was behind the door, and thought it was an intruder, his actions were probably no different to many other scared white South Africans.

If it had been an intruder that he'd shot, he wouldn't even be in court.

So given what he was found guilty of, I'm not convinced he'll get a gaol sentence.

Gaol? How old are you??

So, do you think Oscar intentionally shot his girlfriend?

Doesn't matter what we think, it's what can be proven.
