Oscar's Punishment does not fit the crime!

When putting a murderer on trial one needs to disregard his social status. This in my eyes is something they didn't do. They should have treated him as "Oscar, the guy who killed Reeva".

If someone, intruder or not, locks themselves in a bathroom where they have no escape route there is no reason to shoot. You call the police and they will respond in the correct manner. A person that locks themself in a bathroom is S C A R E D. So if you believe that he didn't really want to shoot then you are a fool.

Clearly your social status and how much money and fame you have influences the way you are tried for murder and that is unfair. If you're a murderer, then you're a murderer, no more, no less. HE received special treatment because he is disabled and did community service? Pfft.

I am not happy with the outcome of this trial. He deserved 25 to life in my eyes for murdering a scared, innocent woman.
