[QUOTE="Cain, post: 807055, member: 12682"] My perception of Oscar would not change if the above mentioned was a reality - He shot 4 shots through a door without establishing who is on the other side - As the law correctly points out , that is grossly negligent and in my personal opinion a true reflection of the guy. If he was so "scared and paranoid" why did he not press the panic button on his alarm? Why did he walk past the bedroom door (his only way of escaping) 3 times? Sure you can argue fight or flight but a normal person would wait until somebody actually comes out of the toilet door before firing the shots - I see it this way , either the prosecution had it spot on but lacked the evidence to support their case , or Oscar let his ego got the better of him and he wanted to play the "Hero" .... As a fellow South African we are aware of crime more than anybody else in the world , but logic also comes into play - the whole "I didn't see Reeva on the bed next to me" was a plain lie and we both know it - There is no way in hell that you walk out onto the patio , collect two fans , bring them inside without turning around at least once.
