Sentence a joke

He will serve 10 months for murder....legal system failed in South Africa.
The world seems to have two justice systems ....

One for the common folks, and one for the rich and famous. Its no longer a surprise to see a popular / likable celebrity get away with murder or get away with a slap on the wrist
He'll have to live with this

forever. He knows what happened. His punishment won't necessarily all be of the prison variety imo.

Do you really think it's much tougher here in the States?
I should look that up later today when I'm less busy.

Uh yeah, however he deserved the prison punishment too.
Just crap  
MadPlaid : 10/21/2014 10:57 am : link
10 months in prison, then the remainder of his sentence to be served under house arrest. BS.

The guy got away with murder. I can't imagine how his bs story about an intruder locked in the bathroom holds water. Just crap.
If I were the victims father

I would be very pleased with the verdict. I would be waiting for Oscar when he is released. With a shotgun. After I shot him four or five times I would tell authorities I mistook him for a mountain lion.

Where is the violence-against-women crowd now?

They are vocal. What would be your point?
I really thought the judge was going to cut him off at the knees  
montanagiant : 10/21/2014 11:11 am : link
And give him the 10 year sentence

When the protests reach ray rice level let me know.
10 months

i bet he will be given special treatment in those 10 months too. won't have to associate with "common criminals". OJ is still the gold standard for athlete's getting away with murder, but this gets a silver.
Didn't the victim's parents reach a financial settlement?

I'm not sure they have any right to be standing outside with a shotgun...
