It's not just the defendant that can appeal if they're unhappy with either the verdict or the sentence Tom. The prosecution can too. It's the same in British courts. The worst thing is that we're going to have to go through the whole damn thing again for another six months or so. |

The captain of South Africa's national soccer team was shot dead by intruders at his girlfriend's house on Sunday. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-29785772I guess this gives Pistorius' position a bit more credibility, as the possibility of dangerous intruders is shown to be a real risk. I assume that this wouldn't affect opinions much in SA, where the level of violence would already be known by everyone, but it helps us to realise the situation they live with. |

I saw on the news that he's due to be released in a few days after only 10 months in jail. How can that be?

That happened a few years ago in Britain. Funnily enough, the chap on licence was able to break the terms of his curfew! So, yes, they'll put the tag somewhere else |

So, yes, they'll put the tag somewhere else I actually know a man that did this! I won't name him on here but he's from Darfield South Yorkshire. He used to take his tagged leg of at 7pm, put his spare one on and go down the pub. He got away with it for months too. It couldn't possibly be the same man could it? |

So one of his legs was both the same? |

I did a quick Google search and this scenario came up twice, one of them was the lad I know, there was a small article in the Sun with him pictured holding his tagged leg. I was amused to read how he says he spent three months fighting the temptation to break his curfew after the police gaff. Man's a saint.  |
