Der Prozess Oscar Pistorius und der Tod von Reeva Steenkamp

By the time of going to press yesterday, Anneliese Burgess, spokesperson for the Pistorius family, had not responded to questions about whether Oscar was doing business in the diamond and gold industry.
It is not clear whether he is going to Jewel City for business or personal reasons.
City Press stablemate Rapport understands he has relations in the diamond industry.

Heno and Tom Kruger, apparently family members on his mothers side, were involved in a diamond mine and therefore have a licence to deal in polished and rough diamonds.

It is not known whether Oscar himself is registered as a diamond dealer with the Diamond and Precious Metals Regulator.

You may not have a criminal record or be facing trial. Oscar would therefore not have been able to get a diamond traders licence in the past year, a source said.Text

Scholz hatte vor genau 30 Jahren seine Frau erschossen, ebenfalls durch die Badezimmertür. Und obwohl er sogar die Silhouette seiner vor ihm und dem Jagdgewehr flüchtenden Frau durch die Glastür des Bades hatte sehen können, bekam er nur drei Jahre und war sehr bald wieder frei.

So ein Frauenleben
ist eben
nicht viel wert.

Das Herz der Nation schlug damals nicht etwa auf der Seite des Opfers, sondern auf der des Täters. Der arbeitslose Bubi sei von seiner tüchtigen Frau (die eine Drogerie auf dem Ku’damm führte) ja regelrecht abhängig gewesen, klagte der unnachahmliche Gerhard Mauz im Spiegel und die Saarbrücker Zeitung seufzte: „Vor Gericht macht Bubi eher den Eindruck eines Opfers denn eines Täters.“

Zwei Jahre nach den tödlichen Schüssen auf seine Frau konnte Bubi Scholz das Gefängnis verlassen. Abgeholt wurde „der Boxer mit dem gebrochenen Herzen“ im weißen Mercedes von seiner Freundin, die er seit fünf Jahren hatte. Und sodann kassierte er noch obendrein die 650.000 DM Lebensversicherung seiner Frau. Denn es war ja weder „Mord“ noch „Totschlag“, sondern nur „fahrlässige Tötung“.

Ganz wie im Fall Pistorius.

So ein Frauenleben ist eben nicht viel wert. Vor allem dann nicht, wenn der arme Mann so „leicht erregbar“ ist, wie Pistorius.

"Whether Pistorius would be welcomed back by his fellow athletes is another question. Athletes and coaches who know him speak of a multimillionaire whose life had been spiraling dangerously out of control for months before he killed Steenkamp."

Reeva Steenkamp’s brother Adam on Sunday said paralmypian Oscar Pistorius is an outright killer who should have been found guilty of premeditated murder.

In an exclusive interview with The UK’s Mail, Adam said his family had been left betrayed by the South African justice system. He called Pistorius’s emotional breakdowns in court “grotesque pantomime.”

“I don’t understand the logic of acquitting someone of murder who fires four rounds into a very small toilet cubicle. It is not the action of someone not intending to kill,” he said.

Adam told the publication he spoke with his father Barry about Pistorius.

“You try not to be too angry because that seems the wrong thing to do,” he said.

“We are looking for the positives and what can come out of this and make things better instead of worse.

“This case in a very strange way has opened a window into people’s lives in South Africa, the way they feel they need to defend themselves with extreme force. People need to think about this.”

Adam said Pistorius only cared about himself and his own circumstances when he was on the stand.

“The world was watching. We were not fooled. The man was scared and that is understandable. I am sure what was on his mind was that he was going away for the most useful years of his life,” he said.

Meanwhile, Pistorius’s manager Peet van Zyl told the Observer the athlete planned to write a book on his account of what happened the night he shot and killed Steenkamp and the trial that followed.

“We’ve discussed it. We’ve talked about ideas and concepts. I’m not going to go into details now,” said van Zyl.

“I will sit down with him once everything is done and decide what we are going to do. We have to wait until 13 October before we can think about anything. After that we will tell the world what we are going to do.”

On Friday, Judge Thokozile Masipa found Pistorius guilty of culpable homicide for Steenkamp’s death.

Sentencing will take place on 13 October.
