how come he is even allowed to sell his house during trial and get rid of the crime scene, i don;t know.

Well it's not really a crimescene anymore (but still the scene of a crime). I wonder if he needs the money? It's not like he's going to be able to use the house anymore anyway where he's very likely going.

You would think he wouldn't have to sell his house to pay for legal fees considering he made a lot of money but he probably doesn't want to keep the house anymore

Jeeze, nearly an hour long. I'm interested in his thoughts, but care to summarise for those that can't be arsed watching it all?

That is a very interesting comparison. The Pistorius case is basically the OJ Simpson case of the 21st century. In my opinion though OJ was much more obviously guilty than Pistorius, and it seems like the general consensus is that he DID get away with premeditated murder. The lawyer himself is a very smart guy, but I think he knew OJ was guilty. I didn't watch the entire video, but he doesn't really say whether he thinks OP is guilty though; he just seems to talk about all the circumstances and factors that will play out and affect the case.

I don't think it's entirely the same situation though.

I did not know that it is possible to get rid of something like that house. But I guess they are done with gathering evidence from that place. From the other hand who wants to have a house where someone was murdered :|

[Balls]

Yeah cant imagine many people would want to live there now.

Maybe a bargain hunter. Houses of previous murders tend to go for a lot less than market value for that same reason. I wouldn't mind living in one though especially if I got it for cheap  . As long as you don't believe in ghosts it's just a house really.

Officially, the evidence gathering has finished but there was a part of a bullet found just recently in the toilet bowl that  changed facts and suggested Reeva was not covering herself when she was shot at, like she was taken by surprise so clearly evidence gathering wasn't done properly and more might be found yet the house is allowed to be sold.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind living in his house either, it's a nice house, and probably will go for peanuts, last I heard it was 230k of the Great British Pounds, which is a bargain.

When is the verdict for Pistorius?

Last witnesses will be called in a week or so and judge should pass the verdict at the end of the month. I am quite convinced he will get away with culpable homicide and the sentence will be left at the judge discretion so 2 years maybe 5 max, or he will be ordered to do community work for the rest of his life which he is involved with anyways.

Really? What makes you think that he will just get that?

Hearing this lawyer talk openly makes it crystal clear to anybody with even half a brain that  these court hearings are but a game to be won by whoever has the smartest lawyer who knows best how to manipulate the legal system , where is the justice in that ?

Rich people don't go to the jail. That is the reality. Even if they go to jail (in extremely rare circumstances), they will bribe out the prison wardens and other penitentiary staff. They will enjoy their jail term with booze and drugs.

turns out he might have other problems too..

State prosecutor Gerrie Nel asked Ms Vorster whether someone with anxiety disorder plus guns would be "a danger to society".

"Yes," she replied.

I guess that defense has backfired on him then.

With that don't you think that will allow him to get a nice chilled place to spend whatever time he serves and then be re-assesed jsut before his times up?
