Anyone following this story? Did you see just the other night where one of the major networks took us inside his home, now empty, and showed just where both parties were? That clinched it in my mind.
I can't believe he was not found guilty.
What do you think?

I agree. Must have the same jury as OJ.

I believe it is the judge not a jury.....the verdict is not complete as of now....hopefully he will still get jail time.

I hope so. I thought he was play acting big time.

He has only been cleared of "premeditated" murder, not enough evidence for pre meditation. More to come on a lesser murder charge.

True, I do not think this was planned in advance. But at the time of the incident, I believe he knew very well who was behind that bathroom door.

Wow! What a shocker this is.
I NEVER thought he would get off Scot free like this!

Listening to one of the judges, I think he may still get manslaughter which has yet to be ruled on. As for being shocked, I don't think I will ever get over the shock of OJ getting off.

Pistorius could still go to jail for years if found guilty of culpable homicide. This verdict will be announced tomorrow.

It is hard to believe he was found not guilty!

OJ's case was unreal as someone said but I'm still totally bewildered by the Casey Anthony trial and subsequent verdict. When do we find out who killed that little girl? Will we ever know?

Wow, people throwing out guilty opinions when they have almost zero knowledge of the actual trial. The justice system is the justice system, your opinions mean nothing to anyone except yourself. Just my opinion.

I am convinced it was Casey Anthony and she was born a self centered sociopath. That child singing "You are my sunshine" will never leave me.

Quite simply people do not want to judge any longer It all has to do with moral equivalence and junk like that................................

He will be placed on some sort of probation because he is a national sports figure. Perhaps to calm citizens they may give him a sentence but quickly commute same when they believe the emotional component has subsided.
In my view he had a lover's dispute with his girlfriend such as she was leaving and/or having an affair and out of anger shot her dead.

Convicted of culpable homicide that is the equivalent of manslaughter in the USA. Probably will get a seven year house arrest due to his special needs. Convicted on a gun charge, that is the equivalent of a misdemeanor. Probably a fine for that charge.
That is a bad joke on the part of the judicial system, as he knew Reeva, was the only one in the house, and behind the bathroom door.
Oscar should get an Oscar.
I always thought this would turn out, with the famous athlete getting off with a slap on the wrist. Probably see him in the next Olymipics. After all, we must keep what's important in perspective. :(
