"Definitely not defending the guy but I was shocked to see how the south African justice system works. The prosecution doesn't like the verdict on the crime they charged him on so they come back for another try? If I recall correctly Italian law is similar." I just heard on the radio that it was due to an appeal of the original verdict,there were some flaws in the trial,which led to an unjust verdict the first time.It was something to do with the fact that he kept unloading the gun in through the bathroom door after the fact that he must have known he had shot and possibly killed someone on the other side of the door.Anyway the reports later will clarify any speculation. Good enough for the swine once he serves all of the 15 yrs sentence. | |||

"The girls family will maybe feel that got justice x" Yeah I get that bit. But I'm speaking solely about the justice system laws. Person is charged with a crime. Trial is held. Jury hears evidence and gives verdict/recomendation. Judge hands down verdict and punisment. End of You can't keep going back bc you don't like the outcome unless you're the defendant and even then in some cases you will be denied a retrial. Again I'm not defending the guy but to those of you that are all up on good he deserves it. Where the hell were you the first time around to give your statement as an eye witness to a crime?? Just sayin....... | |||

Less than 1 year served for the deliberate murder of a human being was never going to cut it. | |||

" Like I said. Where were all the people that witnessed this crime when the first trial happened?" Why would witnesses be needed to decide whether a convict had been too lightly or too harshly sentenced? His guilt has already been established. | |||

The same principles apply in just about any self respecting judicial system. | |||
