Pistorius tries to kill again

The verdict will be announced on the 11th of September.

The accused was a very poor witness.

The accused's performance during examination in chief could not be faulted. It was only under cross examination that he contradicted himself and visible felt uncomfortable.

Pistorius cannot be found guilty of murder. But a verdict of culpable homicide still possible.

South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has been given five years in jail for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Judge Thokozile Masipa also gave Pistorius a three-year suspended sentence for a firearms charge.

Very, very lenient. Be interesting to see what sort of conditions he gets on his imprisonment as well. Someone with his money isn't going to go anywhere near the general population.
