Strange story. No one seems to be reporting a history of problems in their relationship. One report I saw was that he thought she was a burglar.

“No one seems to be reporting a history of problems in their relationship”

The South African media are reporting that police have been called to their home a couple of times because of domestic violence.

That article seems to have left out the whole story. There is a history of domestic violence and once where he was arrested and spent the night in jail for assaulting a different woman.

Before liberals go into orgasms about using this as an example for gun control which they are probably doing this very minute, ask yourself this: Is saying “Hello, who’s there?” extremely difficult for this guy? Hmmm..I don’t think she is deaf and mute. Is she?

To me Leggy sounds like a punk ass with a bit of a temper.

She was shot several times in the head, chest and the arm
Pistorius believed to have told police he thought she was an intruder
Media reporting it could have been a Valentine’s Day surprise gone wrong.

Shot several times? He lived in a luxury community with armed guards. Sounds kind of fishy.

My first thought as well.

Same kind of stuff that makes it possible for 3 college football players beat the living crap out of a couple of students just for vending machine money...

I don’t know SA law, but it would seem weird if it was indeed an accident, that he was charged for murder, as opposed to manslaughter.

“I don’t know SA law...”

Neither do I. It did seem as though they charged him very quickly.
