Yesterday Oscar Pistorius was found not guilty of premeditated murder
and second degree murder because according to the judge, his conduct
after the shooting was "inconsistent" with someone who intended to
commit murder. But he has been found guilty of manslaughter this
morning. The judge said he acted negligently when he fired shots into
the toilet door. The question now is, will he be jailed for
manslaughter?
He was also found guilty of second firearm charge
and found not guilty of the first and third firearm charge.
The firearm
charge he was found guilty of is not even related to the Reeva Steenkamp
murder. He discharged a weapon in a public place, a restaurant called
Tashas. The judge says Oscar was sufficiently trained in the use of
firearms, so should not have asked for a firearm in a public place
The
judge said no one submitted that there was an intention to pull the
trigger, but that does not absolve him of the crime of negligently
handling a firearm. Details later.coming up
