Oscar Pistorius loses appeal

[swaledale]

South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has been denied leave to appeal against his conviction for murdering his girlfriend Reeva S****kamp. The Constitutional Court has made the ruling

Pistorius killed Ms S****kamp in February 2013 after firing four times through a locked toilet door.
A manslaughter verdict was overturned in December and a murder verdict introduced in its place.


Justice at last!

[lazaat]

Yes I agree justice at last! She was sleeping next to him in bed and he wanted the court to believe he thought it was an intruder in the toilet FFS!! And even if he did believe it was an intruder he shot through the locked door 4 times with the intention of killing who was in there. It was obvious they had an argument and he shot her to death in cold blood, he deserves life in prison.

Agree it seems like justice...doubt we've heard the end of it all yet though.

[Acido]

Aww this is awful, Oscar was a hero to so many people for his enthusiasm and courage in athletics....
But then he does this and tries to lie and cheat his way out of it like an absolute coward. What a shame it all had to come to this

So many who achieve greatness seem to fall as the many 70's "entertainers" now languishing in jail would seem to show

He had never put foot wrong before this.
