Oscar Pistorius, das Model, der Valentinstag und das war dann Notwehr

Kelly Phelps is putting her usual spin on things. Fair enough that she says there are three possible outcomes and two out of three are good for the defence but what she fails to add is that maybe these experts will find he has a condition more damning than GAD in terms of his defence. She also fails to mention that this whole thing is only an issue if the court buys OP's story. Through it all Robyn Curnow nods vigorously and smiles broadly.

the only reason for this "stunt/trick" at this time is because his attorneys know he is going to prison. Pistorius murdered his girlfriend. For that you go to prison. He has lied, cried and vomited in the courtroom to try anything to be allowed to roam free. He already has been free (and not locked) up since he murdered his girlfriend. Any other person on the street would have spent the past year+ in jail awaiting trial.

Yes, it's only happened once before, in the case the judge cited. And, in that case it was a voluntary decision. With OP it is involuntary. The law suggests he HAS to be taken into custody on Tuesday until a bed becomes available.

Selbst bei einer Verurteilung wegen Totschlag droht eine vergleichsweise hohe Strafe, bei Mord droht lebenslang, bei "unzurechnungsfähigkeit" oder einer"vorübergehenden/behandelnbaren (angeblichen) Angststörung" droht nur eine Thearpie über einen relativ eng begrenzten Zeitraum...

und Mister Pistorius geht am Ende seeeehr Milde "bestraft" wieder als freier Mann nach Hause und die abscheuliche Tat bleibt fast ungesühnt.

Man kann nur hoffen, das sich das Gericht nicht einseifen lässt...

Nel questioned Dr. V on whether or not she had attended court to hear OPs testimony, she said that she had not. Nel later asked her if she was aware of OPs numerous versions of what he says happened that night. Again she said that she was not. There was another reference to this, maybe two others. So it appears to me that the psych team will be provided with evidence from the trial, and or summaries from both the DT and the PT to use in their evaluation of OP.

This whole 30 day observation seems tailored for those that have confessed to committing murder (or some other serious crime) but want the court to consider some psychiatric issue and diminished capacity in their verdict and sentencing. So it makes perfect sense that the psych team would have the accused's evidence and the prosecution's evidence to use in testing and evaluating the accused.

If convicted of murder, which the athlete denies, Pistorius faces a mandatory life sentence which usually carries a minimum of 25 years in jail, though mitigation could reduce it in this case. If found guilty of the lesser charge of culpable homicide, he could face 15 years or a non-custodial sentence.
