Media Release on Oscar Pistorius as at August 19 2015
So the decision by the minister is based on a technicality?! It's a v opportunistic approach. https://t.co/BpZXoywSNa

Pistorius must remain in custody until Nov when Supreme Court of Appeal will hear appeal brought by NPA against judgment and the sentence.

@HiRezLife it may very well be that the actual decision was made earlier than 1/6 but he wasn't released b4 then so there's no prejudice.

Hate saying this (I really do) but this Pistorius turn around smacks of political agenda.

You might be having a bad day, but not as bad as Oscar Pistorius.

@DerekWatts @carteblanchetv @barrybateman in our view Oscar flushed the toilet not Reeva. Blood in toilet from 3 serious wounds also minimal

@HiRezLife how then do you explain wood splinters inside the bowl and only partial flow pattern?
— Barry Bateman (@barrybateman) August 11, 2015
@HiRezLife I'll upload pics in a bit. On your TL - at what point do you believe he flushed? Before or after moving her head?

The Steenkamp's letter to the parole board continues:
Our lives will never be the same as we live with the sadness of her death every day. Reeva had so much to offer this world and we were all robbed of her life when she was killed. As her family, we do not seek to avenge her death and we do not want Mr Pistorius to suffer; that will not bring her back to us. However a person found guilty of a crime must be held accountable for their actions.
Statistics show that our society is under continuous attack from criminals and murderers. Incarceration of 10 months for taking a life is simply not enough. We fear that this will not send out the proper message and serve as the deterrent it should.

1/2 Too many teenage suicides. If your child is being bullied, PLEASE take it seriously. Bullying is worse than it ever was for 3 reasons:

2/2 It's faceless (content is worse), it's public (everyone sees it) and it's permanent (the torment of 24/7 bullying, no escape)
