| Post subject: | POLL: Pistorious Verdict |
Via Daily Mirror.. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news ... le-3827515 Could be found guilty of: Premeditated murder To find him guilty of this charge the Judge has to decide the athlete had 'malice aforethought' - that he knew Reeva was in the bathroom, and had thought about killing her before grabbing the gun and pulling the trigger. Murder If Pistorius were to be convicted of murder, the judge has decided he intended to kill whoever was behind the door but there was no 'malice aforethought'. He could have shot to kill a burglar, or Reeva, in a crime of passion. Culpable homicide A verdict of culpable homicide would suggest negligence and not malice, if the judge decides that anxious Pistorius reacted because he was terrified of a potential burglar and wanted to protect himself and Reeva. This would suggest that not only did Pistorius not intend to kill Steenkamp, he also didn’t realize that she was the one behind the door. Or found Not Guilty There are also the 3 firearms charges There are three firearms charges which were denied by Pistorius - allowing the state to bring in character evidence. |
