Is anyone buying Oscar Pistorious’s story?

I for one am NOT.

First of all, who breaks into a home then locks themselves in a bathroom stall?

NO ONE!

Then if you are lying in bed with your partner, if you hear a noise, I think most of us wake them up. I know I have heard noises and my immediate response is to wake up my husband. 

Now, I get the whole being scared, living in a high crime country and having had death threats. But if you are scared, and you have 2 paths of about equal distance…. A robber in a closed bathroom stall or getting out of your home to safety, what would you do?

I think if you are scared to death, so much so that even turning the lights was too scary… you are not rushing towards a robber. You would want to rush from them. 

I think very few would choose to confront the robber. Especially if you think they are in a small closed room the opposite direction of the exit.

I just don’t buy that.

Here is the floor plan. Decide for yourself.  

But to me, I think if you were faced with this, and were sure the noise was coming from the toilet, wouldn’t you assume it was your partner? If not, my first reaction would be to wake up my spouse. Not just start shooting. 

He then states “I felt trapped as my bedroom door was locked and I have limited mobility on my stumps”. WHAT? How are you trapped in a locked bedroom door when you are in that bedroom? He was not locked in. This sounds more like someone trying to explain why he didn’t get Reeva and bolt out of the apartment. Since again, it would have been quicker to leave the bedroom and possibly get out of the house than going into the bathroom. 

Now we have heard from neighbors who have stated that they hear “blood curdling” screams from a WOMAN followed by shots then screams from Oscar.

Does that sound like what Oscar claims happened? Not at all. Sure it’s his word against theirs but there is more than one person that heard the screams from a woman and it does not benefit them to lie. Oscar on the other hand is trying to save his own life. He has all the motivation to lie. 

I also have a big issue with when he chooses to put on his prosthetic legs. If you thought you had robbers in your home….. And you were on stumps…. I would think for the sheer ability to have better movement, this is when he would have put on his legs. Instead he claims he went after a robber on his stumps. Putting himself at even greater risk(not being able to run) and then upon discovering it was Reeva in the bathroom, then now takes the time to put on the stumps. Then instead of calling the police first, he phones a friend.

He sure took his time.  

If you have a life on the line, who would you call first? Would you call for help or would you put on your stumps and call a friend?  

This case really looks to me like murder after a fight. 

My theory matches what many have said.

They fought. 

She became scared and ran to the bathroom and locked the door. 

He chased her.

I then think that he initially tried to get to her in the locked bathroom by hitting the door with the bat. I think he would have hit her with that.  I think when that did not work, he went back and got his gun and shot her. I think he then still could not get into the room and hit the door again. I think if she had been alive still, he would have still killed her. 

I think in his anger, it was his intention to kill Reeva. He may or may not feel remorse now. But I do think the majority of the crying is at least due to his sheer fear of going to jail and not about Reeva.
