Oscar Pistorius trial commencing 3rd March 2014 to be televised.
Tim Invictus:
The trial is going to be televised starting 3rd March '14! This is going to be another O J Simpson type circus ..... they will probably show the Dewani trial too if he ever faces justice!
Silkywhiskers:
Oh for Gods sake.
He shot the woman several times through a locked bathroom door.
How on earth do people feel he is innocent?

PS Why does the daily mail not allow comments " for legal reasons" in a case happening in South Africa with no links to the UK but allows comments on an onging case ie Knox, oh well
Eta I meant in Italy and nothing to do with the UK either (legally speaking though Meredith was British)

Innocent of what? He's admitted he shot her. He says it was a tragic mistake thinking that it was a dangerous intruder. The prosecution says it was murder.
Whatever happened, I hope that his trial - and the reporting of it - are fair.
a.baker:
His version of events has many flaws in it. For instance,he managed to locate his gun,put on his legs (eventually) and other things all in the dark but couldn't see that Reeva was not in the bed? He says he shouted to what he thought was an intruder and to Reeva before he fired the shots. Why did Reeva then not respond if she was just innocently using the toilet? And surely she would have screamed out after the first shot and at that point he would have realised it was her and yet he fired more shots. Sorry,but I don't find him believable.
