'Blade Runner' Oscar Pistorius charged with murder

If it is, then I can only say that the guy isn't that bright. He gets up. His girlfriend is not in the bed. He gets his gun and starts shooting through the bathroom door without even calling out to her. Now this may have happened but it's a damning indictment of Pistorius' intelligence.

Such things happen in the fog of first awakening, especially when there is fear of assasination. From his statement:
" I have received death threats before. I have also been a victim of violence and of burglaries before. For that reason I kept my firearm, a 9 mm Parabellum, underneath my bed when I went to bed at night."

Then you have the issue of motive. So far there is no logical motive. If one emerges then I may change my mind but so far there is no logical reason for pre-meditated 1 st degree nurder.

Because of the lead detectives lousy poice work and his checkered past reasonable doubt will already be implanted in any potential juror. Then there is the Pride of South Africa who wouldn't want to see him go down, for obvious reasons.

This will be a long and expensive trial. He'll probably try to get someone else to foot the bill.

But in his "fog" he was still able to find his way to the balcony, reach up to close the window while on his stumps, find his gun under the bed in the dark, pump four bullets into the bathroom door and strike his intended target dead - riiiight.

He was so afraid that he kept his gun under his bed yet not so afraid that he was okay with keeping his windows open and unlocked.

And when he yelled for the "intruder" to leave as he walked down the hallway, the girlfriend wouldn't bother to call out, "Honey, it's just me in here." What kind of fog was she in?

Now CNN has on some hour long special titled something like Blade Runner: Murder or Mistake.

Pathetic.

The South African justice system is such a corrupt mess since Mandela and crew took over, that it only has a 10% conviction rate.

Good heavens man you can't be that ignorant, at least they go to court now and are not murdered in the streets as in the past.
