Will tears be the salvation of Oscar Pistorius?

Will tears be the salvation of Oscar Pistorius?

That’s the big question right this moment. Will Oscar Pistorius be convicted, or he will get his freedom? Will tears be the salvation of Oscar Pistorius?

I’m in bed while typing this story, watching the news at a German channel and of course CNN. I’m stuck with the flu despite the flu-shot I got three weeks ago. Now you see getting a flu-shot doesn't guarantee a flu-free winter.

Now, enough about me and back too Oscar!

For months now, Oscar Pistorius cried in the courtroom, even vomited, and swore that the shooting of his stunning girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp was a tragic mistake. He escaped a murder conviction with it, but will he remain at large? I sure hope not!

Today finally we will know if Oscar will be convicted, and if so, what his punishment will be! The state wants Pistorius in prison for at least ten years. I for one am all for it, the man is unstable and needs to know that what he did is very wrong. I mean shooting through a closed door while having one person in house that’s not accounted for is just stupid.

What I don’t get is that he didn't locate his girlfriend before he went on a killing spree. According to his statement he didn’t check if she was in bed with him. Any normal person would check that the people in his home are accounted for before he goes and shoots through a closed door.

Oscar Pistorius is in court right this moment and awaits sentencing for shooting and killing Reeva Steenkamp. My heart goes out to Reeva’s family. Reeva’s family had to relive the brute killing of their daughter, over and over again these last months. The judge is reading a very long statement. She just said that if Pistorius though that he was shooting a burglar, that said burglar didn’t have any room to save himself from the bullets. It’s a small bathroom where there’s no hiding from any bullets, so Oscar Pistorius knew that when fired the shots that he probable was killing anyone who was behind the closed door.

I see a blond woman (dressed in red) pump her fist in victory in the courtroom. The judge is still reading and I hope he gets at least the ten years the state demanded. A few times a heard her talking about five and eight years and community service.

Now she’s asking Oscar to rise!

Verdict ……..five years in prison for culpable homicide. According to the judge a long sentence would be inappropriate!
