I can't figure out why he'd do this, well and truly stumped...

But I doubt his handicap will help him get a leg up on the situation in court.

Regardless, this whole situation has me stumped.

He'll probably counter sue for having his good name sullied by the allegations brought against him, but it'll get thrown for not having a leg to stand on.

Sorry to drag this kicking and screaming back on topic, turns out it looks like Oscar didn't only shoot her 4 times, but used a cricket bat to make sure his point got across.

As one of the (rare) astute commentators pointed out, the only way he's going to hop free is if the cops find bloody footprints leaving the scene.

Looks like police blunders have given the defense a leg up in this case.

Yes, the bail hearing makes the police look incompetent and/or corrupt.

My wife suspected the Pistorius family might have "got at" the police about this alleged attempted murder thing for the head detective.

Coming after the Dewani case it makes SA justice look like a bit of a joke, which I am sure they do not want.

Sadly, our police force has a reputation for being incompetent and corrupt. Hell, our last two commissioners have been sacked due to "financial irregularities". Good thing one of them caught a previously unreported illness and can't do any time behind bars...

As for the National Prosecuting Authority, they seem to have run out of money recently. Or something.

He says he thought he was shooting a burglar, who was locked in his bathroom.
Why didn't he just call the police. Or is shooting people OK in south africa.
He hasn't got a leg to stand on. He was either shooting is girlfriend, or persons unknown. Whilst in no danger.

The bit about apparently hitting her with a cricket bat before shooting her is even harder to explain.

Must have been her fault, because apparently she was pregnant( according to papers).
