3 years suspended for 5 years - unbelievable.

Saffa Journo's were saying that it will take a while to deliver a verdict as "the judge can't read very quickly..."

How do you become a senior judge, sitting on murder trials if you find reading a struggle

Do you reckon there would be a lot of applicants

Why is there no "WTF ?" smilie ?

[longblackcoat]

The judge was quoting from another case. Listen harder.

[essayer]

Was that his sentence or a similar case??

[Bonefish Blues]

He wins, but he loses, eh?

THAT ISN'T THE PISTORIOUS JUDGENMENT

She is referring to a sentencing precedent case with the 3 years suspended.

Edit: actually is sounds like she will go for a custodial sentence.

LOL. That was the other case.

I think she's about to debunk that sentence in respect of OP, and go custodial in this case.

[Lordbenny]

Hang on....she's still quoting the Foster case isn't she?

She will ask him to stand before handing down sentencing.

Yep, listen to what she's saying - she's going to give Pistorious a seriously long sentence, I think. She's now demonstrating why a suspended doesn't fit.

Yes, apparently. She makes it difficult to understand, rambling along like that.
