    Apparently, John Cleese tweeted that Oscar's defense will be that he was completely legless at the time. hahaha

    Oscar was trying to continue his emulation of able bodied athletes, such as OJ Simpson.

    He doesn't have a stable defense to stand on. The prosecution is gonna cut him off at the knees.

    Maybe he's like Dr. Strangelove, and his mechanical legs have lives of their own and desire to kill.

    I had been pondering that even before he was 'legging it' away from the law...

    I thought celebrities endorsing products that they don't use was standard practice. :confused:

    It think it's disgusting that a paralegal isn't allowed to represent him in court.

    Apparently police found a cricket bat in Pistorius's house that was covered in blood, and apparently Steencamp's skull was crushed. Makes his claim that she sneaked into his house to surprise him on Valentine's Day and he mistook her for a burglar look pretty weak.

    Apparently, what set him off was her habit of walking ahead of him. Their friends had actually nicknamed them LBW.

    So quite a bit of the arguments of both prosecution and defense are being revealed in the preliminary hearing today. BBC Article.

    It will be a while before we know definitively if he's a murderer, but it's pretty clear already that he's a doping cheat: needles and testosterone were found at his home, "roid rage" may have played a role.

    It seems that he was jealous because she was carrying a torch for an old flame.

    They were having problems and she simply told him that he should walk away like a man.

    I think we all need to take a step back and wait for the legal process to do its work on this one. No rushing to judgment, please. The defense attorneys have been making mincemeat of this particular detective.
