Oscar Pistorius Tells His Side Of The Story And It Doesn't Make Any Sense
Not that shooting your girlfriend for any reason makes sense, but you know. Oscar Pistorius was in court today to be officially charged with premeditated murder and during the hearing his lawyer read a statement written by him. It turns out the burglar story that the media was throwing around is the story that Oscar is going with.
Oscar says that the night before the murder, he and his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp spent the night at his house. She did yoga, he watched TV and afterward they went to sleep together. Oscar said in his statement that he knows everybody gets robbed in his neighborhood and he has gotten several death threats before, so he keeps a 9mm pistol under his bed. In the early morning on February 14th, Oscar woke up to close the balcony door when he heard a noise in the bathroom. Now a normal person who thinks normally would just assume that their piece was taking a middle of the night piss. But Oscar, who wasn't wearing his legs at the same, got scared, grabbed his gun from under the bed and went to the bathroom.
Oscar claims he didn't turn the lights on, but he did shout at the person in the bathroom. When he didn't hear anything back, he shot through the bathroom door several times. Oscar went back to the bed and realized that Reeva was in it. So he put on his legs, beat the locked bathroom door open with a cricket bat, called the paramedics and then carried her down the stairs. Oscar says that she died in his arms.
Oscar says he now knows that Reeva went to use the bathroom when he went to close the balcony door. He claims he's innocent and that he never meant to kill Reeva, because he was in love with her and shit.
The prosecutors were not moved and they told the court that Oscar meant to kill Reeva. Bail was denied and Oscar will stay in a cell.
Most of that shit makes no sense and if Oscar claimed that aliens with guns from District 9 killed her, I'd believe that story before I'd believe the story he told in court. Reeva really didn't shout back when he shouted at her through the bathroom door? And when he went to get the gun from under his bed, he didn't notice that she wasn't in it anymore? Is Jodi Arias on his defense team, because that story is a full-on fairytale.
All the times that I got up in the middle of the night to take a 2am piss, the piece in my bed would either stay sleeping or tell me to piss quieter. I guess I should feel lucky that he never shot my ass.

As a single gal living in a semi-sketch area of Atlanta, I could have some sympathy for Pistoffius' purported level of paranoia and fear of a home invasion. That's why I used to sleep with a loaded pistol on my nightstand. If violent crime in SA is as pervasive as previous posters have claimed, then I could see him having a VERY easily-triggered full-blown panic response to any unidentifiable sound he hears in the night. Especially if his adrenaline is already effed up from the steroids. (From what I've witnessed, roid rage is real.)
HOWEVER--
My gut instinct is to call BS. This was a Domestic that turned into a murder. I'm curious what will happen to his Olympic medal when the defense has to own up to his steroid usage (in order to claim that they were affecting his mental state & judgment on the night of the incident) as a way to negate his intent/as a mitigating factor. You in danger, gimp.
MK....I lol'd at your Jodi Arias reference. I've been watching that trial on court Tv. She is nutso.

RIMADYL KILLS
He's guilty as hell. Lock in up -- with legs, hey, I'm a humanitarian-- in a SA prison. Because this was premeditated. Dude. Seriously.
I do like how the SF system of justice seems to get the court testimony immediately. US law keeps the VICTIM's family in silence/dread/fear/confusion/un-knowing interminably, it seems, in comparison.
My vision of world peace: a chicken in every pot, and pot for all us chickens...and weasels.
Hers why he's a liar...
She was shot four times. But he didn't realize what happened until he got back to his bed and she wasn't in it.
She never made a noise?
also remember they found roids on the scene too (criminal on its own as far as I know). seems he had superhuman power without legs too.

Uhhh, so when did you bash her head with a bat?? So glad they denied him bail.
He went to close the balcony window, heard a noise but didn't think to shake Reeva awake, went all the way to the bathroom still without his prosthetics, thought the burglar had locked himself IN THE BATHROOM. Still didn't wake Reeva, shot several times, THEN went to put on his prosthetics and started breaking down the door? Why didn't he turn the light on to see if the gf was ok? Maybe the bathroom burglar was attacking her IN the bathroom, and he didn't wonder that the racket would wake her? How big is this room that no one hears anything?
Totally believable, not.

I wish his die-hard fans at the Daily Mail and other places would explain WHY it makes sense that he assumed that there was an intruder in the bathroom when his gf was spending the night. It makes no sense to me.
For a man who claims to be paranoid about criminals breaking in, he didn't close/lock his balcony doors, left open a bathroom window with no bars and a ladder up against it and even worse, left his fucking front doors unlocked (read the prosecution report)!
If he received death threats and didn't report them to the police, that indicates a certain degree of nonchalance too.
This man is lying.

there's no question in my mind she went to the bathroom to hide. such a shame that he had to finish her off. His reputation was on the line by having shot her first in the hip. It would be granted that blood was found in the room as well, if that was the scenario.

it's the worse Defense he could have gone for. There were calls made to the police from the neighbors about hearing an argument a few minutes or hours before.
I'm sure it's been mentioned, but I haven't gone through the comments first. I have a major headache and hangover today. Yes, my days off usually are Tuesdays.
and really? no legs and his girl wasn't in bed. he somehow got amnesia at that moment.

Some of the theories in the media:
She had been shot in the head, hip, arm and hand. Pistorius – and later paramedics – struggled in vain to save Miss Steenkamp’s life.
Police reportedly found the bloodied cricket bat in the bedroom. The en-suite bathroom door was riddled with holes, a pistol holster was found by Pistorius’s bed and a gun cartridge was on the floor.
South Africa’s City Press quoted an unnamed police source as saying: ‘The suspicion is that the first shot, in the bedroom, hit her in the hip. She then ran and locked herself in the toilet.
‘She was doubled over because of the pain. He fired three more shots. She probably covered her head, which is why the bullet also went through her hand.’
The source said police are carrying out tests to establish whose blood is on the bat.
While one scenario is that Pistorius attacked Miss Steenkamp with the wooden bat, it has also been claimed that the model may have used it to defend herself.
But Oscar, who wasn't wearing his legs at the same...
I know this whole situation is totally tragic but
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Kiwi, you're being obtuse. ANYONE from Colorado will attest that Boulder and Denver are extremely safe cities, esp factoring in their size. No one from CO would hesitate to walk down Pearl St at any hour of the night and feel in any signifant danger. Shit, I have never felt in danger anywhere in Denver, including Five Points.
Hell, you proved my point. People held a fucking candlelight vigil for a damn elk in People's Republic of Boulder. No one in Chigago, or other truly dangerous cities, would do that for a fucking elk.

couldn't this idiot have at least said he took an Ambien and forgot he took it then had a few glasses of wine and doesn't remember anything?
I'm late to the debate but...here's my two cents...
She locked herself in the bathroom to get away from him. He used the bat to break the door down. Then he shot her ass. Either he shot thru the door, or he got the door down and shot her. Maybe he hit her with the bat to incapacitate her or maybe he just went to shooting. Either way, that's a shit story and I doubt it will hold up in court. Which is why he's being charged in the first damn place. This guy is a roided out wreck.
Interesting. Never heard of a home invader stopping to use the toilet and closing the door out of politeness before "Singing in the Rain" on you.
that kind of defense works on dimwitted juries, but not on judges- sorry, SlingBladerunner, no juries in South Africa, you're fried
Holy fuck!!! There are actually people who are believing this hot, stinking pile of bullshit. Adult people! Which is why this murdering sociopath will likely get off. Unbelievable. Some people will believe ANYTHING apparently. LOL!!!

LOL. You never know in these cases. That's why some defendants accept a plea and others go over the falls. Maybe premeditation is hard to prove here, but not regular ol' murder?

Wow. From the looks of it, she had no place to hide or duck if someone was shooting through the door.

God don't like ugly.
I didn't believe this intruder story from the start, and I do not believe it now. This guy's stories has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. His GF was spending the night. Why would he not think she was in the bathroom when he awoke esp. since there is no indication that the security alarm went off. Also, he says he fired a warning shot? You mean to tell me that she did not shout or ask, "WTH was that?" or something to identify it was her in the bathroom? Maybe I could buy it if the door was soundproof with reinforced steel, but he managed to break it down. Oh, and why would she LOCK the door? Why not just close it if he was asleep?
If he really thought it was an intruder, then the guy is paranoid and/or was on something that night.
What really nails it for me, though, is that guy was a known playa who was only dating this woman for 3-4 months, and he & his family are claiming they were planning a future? It's too much.
My theory: She got an email from an ex. An argument ensued-hence the neighbor's claims of screams-he hit her in the head with a bat, fired a shot at her, so she ran into the bathroom and sat on the toilet hoping he would calm down or go away, and he shot her. (If she was shot in the thigh while in the bedroom then sitting on the toilet would make sense as that or the edge of a tub is usually the only place one can sit.

I don't have to expand upon my Google search - I live 10 miles up the road. I read the Daily Camera daily.
Boulder is a safe city - period. Probably too safe for its own good because everyone is so laid back because A LOT of Boulder people are potheads. Jon Benet's murder was never solved because the BVSD and BPD have such little experience in handling homicides. By the way, she lived in the VERY ritzy part of town where little, if any, crime occurs. The big damn deal for the past few weeks was holding vigils for an elk that the cops shot and used for meat. So there really aren't that big of fish to fry in Boulder.
I'm not going to engage in this conversation anymore with you, but Boulder is not a crime-ridden city and to say so is inaccurate.

Boulder has "gloss"?!? that's the funniest thing I've read all day!!
all that nonsense about precisely when he did and didn't have his prosthetics on is designed to make the murder not look premeditated - not buying it. It's like when the crackhead approaches you to ask for money and gives you a spiel with way, way too much information to be legitimate. Same with all that talk about yelling and re-yelling to the girl to call the police - that's a fiction so when witnesses later say they heard a lot of angry shouting coming from the house he has that covered.
when he was reaching for his gun under their shared bed, he didn't think to glance over or, better yet, wake her since he was so convinced an intruder was in their WC? not buying it
fortunately, forensics will disprove his lies - the trajectory of the bullets in the door will be higher than he coulda made without his prosthetics
... and I'm sure some of those nosey neighbors heard some females voices in all that shouting
this guy needs to do hard time just for all the unrepentant lies he just told us
