Re: Oscar Pistorius Trial.
I was married for 35 years and know that my female brain works totally differently from any male's brain. Their thought processes take a different direction than mine and they can't multi-task.
A look at the way tmale - female brains are wired gives a clue ...

Men generally have more connections within each hemisphere of the brain, while in women the two halves of the brain are much more interlinked.

Re: Oscar Pistorius Trial.
I have been married for 47 years so I know that men are wired differently...think differently, act differently.
I know that when there is a noise in the house, it is me who goes to investigate what it is.
We have a phone upstairs and if I thought we had someone in the house I would be calling for help first.
Or maybe that is just too sensible..just too logical...or maybe it is because I do not have a gun under my bed.

I bet yours has the same standard phrases as mine did lol
Quite a while back there were some street interviews in England where some men did admit that they kept an object under their bed for defence purposes, such as a child's cricket bat, etc., in the event of an an intruder - I think it possibly might be something to do with the area they live in.

Re: Oscar Pistorius Trial.
His 'story' has more holes in it than the local golf course.
They had a fight, she tried to leave,she locked herself in the bathroom (probably in fear), his rage got the better of him so he got a gun and killed her (that's my summary).
Surprisingly though, I do feel a little pity for him,he's thrown two decades of blood sweat and tears but my main pity is for the beautiful young woman who lost her life.
Rip reeva, I'd give my left leg for a women that could turn heads the way she did.

Re: Oscar Pistorius Trial.
Aside from the evidence detailed in court, his pitiful whimpering performance looked,to me, to be a man full of his own self pity. He probably regretted what he'd done straight away when he'd blasted all his rage away but, I think he's a spoiled, self absorbed man who believed his own publicity. Whatever the outcome of his trial, he has still killed a young woman and that will walk with him forever. His uncontrolled behaviour has ruined his own life forever.

I wouldn't bet on it. If he gets away with it he will find a way to justify/excuse his actions in his own warped mind and carry on as normal.
CF. O J Simpson got away with murder but went on to be committed for further crimes.

Any wonder? The whole process is completely tedious & of no interest to the majority of folk who've got enough on their plate with trying to lead their own lives, let alone endure the nauseating mass coverage of some irrelevant "sports star" who for whatever reason killed his girlfriend.

Why would the TV controllers of Sky News, Sky Sports News and BBC News think that anyone outside the RSA would be in the least interested in the trial - broadcast at the same time on all three channels?

Possibly cos theres that many knobheads watch these reality programmes Barrie? so they assume the same mentality will apply.

Re: Oscar Pistorius Trial.
Whats going on here now? A sentence Hearing !!! another complete farce, telling us what a good boy he is n how his life is ruined, Well what about the dead lasses life?? n her family. If this is the way South African Law is conducted, maybe ours aint as bad as i thought? an unsual step of armed police in court today, seemingly cos this judge aint very popular with the South African public, Hardly Surprising in my view.

Re: Oscar Pistorius Trial.
A correctional officer for his defence wants him to get house arrest and community service , now that's taking the pistorius.
I wonder, if the girls parents shot him dead, cried, played the victim and claimed it ruined their life's would they be recommended for community service?
