Oscar Pistorius Is Free On Bail

Oscar Pistorius is free to shoot up more intruders today after Magistrate Desmond Nair (Side note: Rachel Dratch is right. Every name involved in this case came from the mind of Suzanne Collins.) released him on bail, because the judge doesn't think he's a flight risk. I see what you did there, Magistrate Nair.

After four days of hearing from Oscar's defense and the prosecution, the judge spent two hours today breaking down all of the evidence. Oscar's side of the story is that he thought his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp was a thief hiding out in the water closet so he shot through the door and "accidentally" killed her. My brain burped up a whole lot of question marks when I read Oscar's side of the story. How could he not know that Reeva wasn't in the bed? Why didn't she answer when he shouted at the bathroom door? If Oscar is so paranoid about getting robbed, why did he sleep with the sliding door open and was his security system on at time (I'm guessing not since the sliding door was open)?

Oscar didn't answer the sliding door question, but he did say that it was really dark in the bedroom and he doesn't know why Reeva didn't shout back at him.

The prosecution told the judge that they believe he planned to kill Reeva when she locked herself in the bathroom. Oscar's defense said that they will fight the premeditated murder charge.

The New York Times says that Magistrate Desmond Nair spent nearly 2 hours farting at the mouth about the history of bail and then he said that he doesn't think Oscar is going to get on the next plane to Switzerland, because life as a fugitive with no legs IS HARD! Here's a piece of what he said:

But Magistrate Nair seemed skeptical on Friday about the risk of flight by Mr. Pistorius. “What kind of life would he lead, a person who has to use prostheses, if he has to flee” and found himself “ducking and diving every day” on artificial limbs, the magistrate asked. “His international career would be over in any event.”

“A life not in prison,” Mr. Nel replied, comparing Mr. Pistorius to the WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, who has taken refuge in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, despite his “famous face.”

After going on and on about nothing, Magistrate Nair set bail at 1 million rand ($112,000) and confiscated Oscar's passport. The next hearing is on June 4th.

Also, a detective in the case stepped down (or was thrown off the case) after the media found out that he's facing charges for attempted murder.

Does Oscar own a white Bronco, because we all know how this is going to play out. Oscar will be found not-guilty ("If the legs don't fit, you must acquit!"), then he's going to write a book called "If I Did It" and then his defense lawyer's daughters will star in a reality show. We've all seen this movie before!

Give 'em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger 'em When you're in trouble, go into your dance
Though you are stiffer than a girder
They'll let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle 'em
And you've got a romance

@snowpiece
Was it the "trial of the century" because it was an interracial couple? Aside from being a football player, why else did it get so much notoriety?

ETA: do not search for Oscar Pistorius on Tumblr. It will enrage you. Their rallying cry is "due process" ugh...some posters are even calling him an angel.

This is why I am still single. Its as my grandma always said--you never know what a man is really like until you live with him. So many men start out so loving and become abusive once you get serious (move in together, marriage.) I swear, "love" is nothing but abuse nowadays, it seems like.

Well, I'll bet the neighbors are just LOVIN' this!--Mama.

OJ Simpson's deal was 1994-1995. Holy shit, I can't believe that was almost 20 years ago. What a damn circus that was. My ex-husband was totally convinced he was innocent and watched the trial NON-STOP. He bought that book and the whole nine yards. Whatta douche (my ex-husband).

*googles OJ Simpson* what kind of g-d name is OJ anyways?

ETA: @tonic I always just assumed the Lardassians just appeared out of nowhere, but now they're tied to infamy! I'm glad we got a snow day, I might spend a while looking up this OJ guy.
@pushy that case happened the year I was born '95. For such a high profile case, it seems like it dragged on...

Does the judge understand that "fleeing the country" doesn't LITERALLY mean running on foot? People usually take a plane or a car.

And does he understand that people with all sorts of disabilities can travel?

And in any case, Oscar Pistorius is very good at running...

I don't condone this and was thinking, is he really a flight risk, but one of his friends could stick Oscar's torso in a car trunk quite easily...he's really quite compact.

And then he will go to a house where his sports memorabilia is to take it back but will be found guilty of armed robbery. Reeva's family will sue him in civil court he will be found guilty and ordered to pay millions of dollars which he will never pay. The end
