Pistorious (pg 26 - now charged with Murder)

North Lower Neil

So it's gone up from 5 years to 6?

How ridiculous.

Weegie Addick

Mitigation seems to be that he is a first - time offender...not so sure that works for murder.

"But in her decision, Judge Masipa said her opinion was that "a long term in prison will not serve justice".

For who?

I hope that at the very least the 6 years is starting from today, in a shit cell, with no parole

Her back hander

Given they have basically said that judge got it wrong the first time why let her decide the sentence this time?!

I hope someone mistakenly shoots him through a locked door. Accidents happen

this is one of the oddest parts of a very odd process.

judge B decides that judge A's decision was wrong but instead of getting B to do sentencing they let A have another go

Corrupt S.A court processes.

He's been rushed to a private hospital with what appears to be self-inflicted injuries to his wrists.

BBC just reported he fell out of bed and went to hospital but is now back in his cell.

It was probably an "accidental" falling out of bed.

Wow. Seems that a number of media outlets on Twitter have been competing for the world conclusion jumping record.

He seems to have a lot of mishaps at night doesn't he? Killing people.... Trying to kill himself etc...

I think if I was banged up for 6 years, I'd be suffering wrist injuries before too long.

Probably got outta bed too quick, bounced up and knocked himself out on the ceiling. Pretty self explanatory IMO

"It said blades had been found in a subsequent search of Pistorius's cell."

Falls off top bunk after being put up there by Tiny his 6ft 8 cell mate.

Hurts both wrists in the fall.

Has to go to hospital with sprained wrists after choosing to try and 'jump' from the top bunk.

As he chose to try and get down that way injury was inflicted by himself.

EDIT after The Great Testicles corrected me

sentence increased to 15 years but has served two years so 13 years.

Sentance increased to 15 yrs which is the minimum for a first offender of man slaughter but reduced by the time served already so the 13 is what he has left still not long enough

Thought it was murder now? Either way you're right no where near long enough.

Just seen this one. Surely if he'd jumped down with his blades on, he'd have knocked himself out when he hit the ceiling on the way back up.

Now eligible for parole. Unbelievable.

I bet he’ll get legless on his first night out.
