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 not guilty of the first firearm charge - (firing a gun through the roof of his car)
*He was found not guilty of the third firearm charge (unlawfully possessing 38 rounds of ammunition at his home without having a license).
*He was found guilty of the second firearm charge. He discharged a weapon in a public place, a restaurant called Tashas and asked his friend to take the blame. 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. Will Oscar walk?
