He is going to get hit for something. Lesser included offenses are a bitch!

I loved them as a prosecutor.

Right Alyosha?

[Private Pickle]

Pistorius. Sounds like a type of urinary track infection.

That doesn't look anything at all like Pistorius. That just looks like your run of the mill NFL thug.

Ceegar's subliminal "white privilege" point zoomed over your head.

Not surprising though.

Really?? Simpson was found not guilty by jury nullification

Yes, really - look up.

You have to understand Cigar, it doesn't matter that Simpson got off. He's still black.

I understand Cigar is a dyed in the wool racist and nitwit who can't coherently discuss the current weather report.

Oscar Pistorius Convicted of Culpable Homicide in Death of Reeva Steenkamp

PRETORIA, South Africa - Paralympic track star Oscar Pistorius was convicted Friday of culpable homicide - an offense similar to manslaughter - for the shooting death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

The double amputee was acquitted of murder during the detailed and lengthy verdict at a court in South Africa.

South Africa's prosecuting authority said on Friday it was "disappointed" with the trial's outcome, according to Reuters.

Judge Thokozile Masipa ruled that Pistorius will be released on bail until his sentencing on October 13.

Pistorius has been out on bail throughout the marathon trial.

That is probably the best result.

It is another cautionary tale: women attach themselves to assholes and sometimes end up dead.

Ceegar's subliminal "white privilege" point zoomed over your head.

Not surprising though.

Simpson proved once and for all that the justice system is color biased. And the color it favored then and continues to favor now is GREEN

Reeva Steenkamp's Parents ~ 'Justice Was Not Served'

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/pistorius-trial/oscar-pistorius-reeva-steenkamps-parents-say-justice-was-not-served-n202081


The family of model Reeva Steenkamp slammed a judge's decision to acquit Oscar Pistorius of murdering their daughter, telling NBC News that "justice was not served."

In an exclusive interview for NBC News, June and Barry Steenkamp expressed "disbelief" that the court believed Pistorius' version of events.

"This verdict is not justice for Reeva," June Steenkamp said.
"I just want the truth."

Reeva died a "horrible, painful, terrible" death, she added, saying: "He shot through the door and I can't believe that they believe it was an accident."

The charge of culpable homicide carries a minimum prison sentence of five years - though Pistorius could avoid jail time altogether if the judge converts his sentence into a house arrest with added conditions.

The Steenkamps told NBC News that the outcome makes no difference, and the damage has been done.

"I really don't care what happens to Oscar," June Steenkamp said.
"It's not going to change anything because my daughter is never coming back.

He's still living and breathing and she's gone, you know, forever."

I'm surprised that the judge basically trashed the prosecution's argument before deciding on a ruling. I'm also surprised that anyone thinks this was an accident - if it was, something is very wrong with him to be that paranoid.

Right. Strange ruling. I expect it has something to do with potential sentences.

I bet she maxes him out on the charge he got guilty of.

Simpson was found not guilty by racist jury. That jury had it's collective mind made up months earlier to avenge Rodney King. Total mockery of our system.

[PolWatch]

I'm not trying to start a racist rant (please...NO), but I think white people are more inclined to believe those in authority and expect justice. Not so much for black citizens. There seems to be a real gap in the level of proof required for the 2 groups.

Wrong! They reacted to the bald faced lies told by the defense.
