Oscar Pistorious

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? 

Ok,initially this sounded pretty bogus but I have sense learned that the locks in his home were the old style with keys that lock the door. AND, that he locks his door at night. 

Interesting... 

This is now part of my overall theory I will discuss below.

Now we have heard from neighbors who have stated that they heard "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 same 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 in the world 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 sit down 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. 

I think that at some point during the fight, Reeva may have felt threatened. BUT, since the bedroom was locked (let's assume he kept the key elsewhere) so leaving the room was just not an option. So the only place she could get distance from Oscar was the toilet stall. 

I also think it's possible she was going to leave, but he got to the bedroom door first and grabbed the key preventing her from leaving. 

She then became scared and ran to the bathroom, the only place left to run and locked the door. With the key. 

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 had he gotten to her. 

I think when that did not work, he went back and got his gun and shot her. 

I think he then either was still trying to get to her or at this point he snapped out of his rage in light of what he had done and still could not get into the bathroom and hit the door again breaking a panel so he could reach in and unlock the door. I think if she had been alive still, depending on his state of mind, he may 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. 

The tears and vomiting could be that he realizes that he could spend the rest of his life in jail. 

Being that he has a judge that is outspoken about violence against women and has even put a cop behind bars, I think that rules out any chance she can be bought or feel sympthay for him. 

I think the odds are against him.

If I had to vote today, I would say he will be convicted. 

I will post my thoughts after he testifys.

This should be interesting. Much like Jodi Arias. Lies.
