Oscar Pistorius trail

Closing trail argument.

Oscar Pistorius is a well-known South African athlete, who is accused of killing his late girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day. He claims he mistook her as intruders trying to invade at his home. As Reeva locked her slf to the bathroom at 3am in the morning fully clothed as she was shot three times by her boyfriend.

Prosecution and Pistorius lawyers have come to a final stage of convincing the judge with a closing argument of Oscar Pistorius over murdering Reeva Steenkamp. Barry Roux Pistorius’s lawyer states that “the intentions to kill one person (eg.intruder) cannot be transferred to those of killing a different person. This statement shows that anyone who might have been on his case would have done the same thing that he did.(http:www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/oscar-pistorius/11017897/oscarpistorius) .

 It is now all up to judge Masipa to come up with a verdict that proves that it Pistorius guilty or not, because testimonies have been provided by states witnesses and he was also psychologically tested and the results tend to be that there is absolutely nothing wrong with him. The question is did he foresee the shooting of Reeva or did he simply not care and shoot anyway?
Is this trail going to discredit and ruin his reputation? All we can hope for is for all of this matter to pass and for him to regain his image and dignity to the public and his fans. There are two sides of a story to this case is either one is fore of against the case.

Is the whole publicity good for Oscar’s reputation?

  5. The publicity of course if bad for him and his career, that is he still has one. Whether is good or not he deserves it, he should have thought about it when he took a gun and shoot his girlfriend. I think that the whole case was unnecessary, he should have been in jail long ago.
