What do Spurs have that Pistorious hasn't?

Coach 5 FTW

You're probably right there, our driver was a right miserable bast.

There was some talk of a cricket bat before. Summat else he has an unfair advantage at then if he can't be out LBW.

Allowed to travel abroad, to compete.

Neither of which he should be allowed to do.

Quite right.....but the crowds will flock to see him compete...

... & with the proceeds be able to pay-off his bail-standers when he lets them down. He'll fck off to the US, get a smart-ass lawyer to have them decline an extradition request & he'll never see SA again.

He'll be "on the run" maybe.

And you'd think, regarding the latter, he'd have more important things to worry about.

Exactly. In South Africa they seem more bothered about protecting him, than the fact, he has admitted to shooting and killing someone.

Bizarre.

[Prufrock]

He's innocent until proven guilty.

That bond will be ginormous, and they'll have to be fairly confident he won't do one.

Don't see it's a huge problem mesen unless there's evidence he's likely to flit.

He is accused of premeditated, cold-blooded, first degree murder. Bail was some going. Being allowed to leave the country is staggering.

Indeed he is still innocent. Preventing him from leaving the country cuts off his source of income which would seem unfair until he has proven to have committed a crime.

ahhh - monty - back from the cruise or surfing onboard??

[bobo the clown]

For an accusation of that magnitude it's amazing he got out, i suppose the view was that he wasn't a danger to anyone else. He hàs to be a flight risk tho.

Hmm, in a court of law yes.

But he's deliberately killed someone. He's effectively pleaded guilty to that.

Considering odds are he's going to jail for at least some term, I'd say he's a pretty big flight risk.

And above and beyond that considering what he's done, he shouldn't be even fecking asking.

Couldn't surf on board ($7 a minute with a slow connection). Got back late Sunday with a nasty virus that showed up on Monday. Had to give a eulogy yesterday and a tv documentary interview to day, so I've be husbanding my strength and only glancing at TW.

Well, he claims it was self defence thinking it was Big Leroy and he did shoot through a wall. If his story is believed he may be found not guilty. In Texas he'd probably get a medal. As for a flight risk where could he run (I mean to hide not to compete) and how could he hide? If he tried he could never leave a country that sheltered him even if he could find one. Finally, I see nothing wrong in asking and, given his request was granted, it was reasonable to ask.

I read a while ago that even if he is found not guilty of premed murder the downgraded charge he has effectively already admitted to, I forget the legal term, will more than likely carry a jail sentence.

Which is one of the arguments the prosecutor used to try and deny bail in the first place. That jail was likely even if on a downgraded charge so his flight risk was increased.

Not an expert in South African law by any means but that was definitely an argument the prosecution used in the original bail hearing.
