From the month known that there will be a punishment for premeditated murder or murder of passion, but the cause of death. 28-year-old Pistoriusowi faces up to 15 years in prison. The most likely punishment is 7-8 years in prison – reported local media – because such decisions were usually used in similar cases. It is also possible that Pistorius, still enjoying freedom through bail, not at all will go to jail because the sentence be suspended. After completion of the sentence – if it will be short enough – runner will be able to compete in track and field competitions, including the Olympics and Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The ongoing hearings related to the recent arguments of the parties prior to the judgment. They can drag until Tuesday.
The judge also announce additional penalty for use of a weapon in a public place by Pistorius long before the arrows on the night of 13 to 14 February 2013 Event no direct connection with the death of his girlfriend, but his circumstances revealed in the testimony of one witness.
Pistorius holds – and the judge gave him faith – that shot, because it took the 29-year-old Reeve for a burglar. Makes four shots, three bullets hit the victim.
The accusation from the beginning of the process sought to recognize a sprinter for the murderer – submitted circumstantial evidence saying that he beat the girl shortly before her being shot, that often occurred between young people into squabbles or even larger argument that Pistorius was the jealous type, in general presented him as a robber who like weapon, undermining his testimony pointing to the contrary.
Thokozile MASIP – the first black judge in South Africa, with a great reputation in the legal environment – concluded that the circumstantial evidence and accusations are inconclusive. This will not affect the verdict has recently published a book, in which two journalists investigating claims that a few hours before his death Reevy, Oscar phoned his ex-girlfriend. Police missed this fact, because her phone was registered to his father, and the phone number saved Pistorius was a “Babyshoes”. Journalists also writes that the older brother Oscar, Carl, deleted the entries of the accused sent from the cell (SMS and notes in WhatsApp.)
The process is shown live. A special TV channel, witnesses may, however, refuse to show them on TV. They can not refuse to participate in the audio relationships. This has its consequences – the opponents of publicity of the process claim that affects the testimony in its entirety. Proponents of judicial relations live believe that the process of such a caliber of emotional needs to be open to the whole country know that he is honest.
Indeed, such an event the court in the world has been since the OJ Simpson trial in the United States. As in the mirror it reflects the problems encountered by the huge, diverse African country that only three decades ago escaped from the system of racial segregation enforced by the white minority. Tragedy refers to white people, is thus in itself is particularly sensitive topic, touched the rich people, so it is thread class, and finally the victim is a girl killed by a man, and very passionate feminist groups, sensitive to violence against women. They both belonged to the world of celebrities, she at the local level, on a global.
Pistoriusowi also threatens a civil lawsuit that he may bring family Steenkampów – as was the case with OJ Simpson. Accused of murdering his wife and her lover football star acquitted jury, but the family of murdered won with him in the civil suit, the court awarded a multimillion-dollar compensation.
Pistorius is penniless. To have a defense – hired one of the best and most expensive lawyers in South Africa Barry Roux – sold the house in which the tragedy occurred. But the term is to write a world bestseller.
