[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 807052, member: 39190"] Maybe I'm being pessimistic but that's exactly what I'm expecting. Oscar and his family has money and all it takes is getting the right 'consultant' on board. They've tried that angle (physical and mental health issues) and will continue trying it. We saw with Shaik who got of of jail free on the medical card of his imminent demise who spends his time dying on the golf course. That's exactly it for me. I can just imagine how Reeva's parents must feel, how cheap the system sees her life as being. I understand the pressure persistent crime (on top of persecusion- real of percieved- as a 'demonized' minority in this country) puts on one. I've not been the victim of violent crime but I've been robbed and burgled semi-regularly. It does effect one I won't deny that and I know things are worse in Jo'burg and surrounds than it is where I live. The thing for me though is Oscar has a history of aggresion, abuse and gun related offenses. At the end of the day only Oscar will know the reality of the situation but I would be surprised if the mitigating factors involved here weren't fabricated and desperate attempts to 'get off light'.
