Isn't it time for another adventure?

A Dangerous Business...

“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

Oscar's Weapon Of Choice

Judge Jeanette Traverso falls over her words in another questionable 'verdict' [VIDEO]

Listen to this botched attempt to speak with conviction and sound authoritative here.

Traverso: In my view the evis-dence in this...case.....falls FAR...below...this threshold.

Traverso: The account-accused is found not guilty on this charge [Judge removes glasses whilst still reading...]

Traverso: And Mr Mlombo is granted indemnity...is NOT granted indemnity from prosecution.

A few very interesting Freudian slips for the Judge with a BA. Law degree.

Well played Dewani. You were vindicated. SA IS the best place for contract murder.

Gloomy-looking prosecutor Adrian Mopp's eyebrows form a perfect "V" on his forehead as he takes notes on the judge's decision. #DewaniTrial

If Dewani's case is dismissed I guess shit truly just got real in this country.

Carl Pistorius in YOU

Meanwhile, Oscar's siblings Carl and Aimee Pistorius take to the media just before his sentencing, then the family demand privacy and dignity afterwards.

 Carl, tweeting goofy pictures of him and Oscar, food porn and 'blood and muscle' and other things now deleted, during the trial (Reeva's bloody, talon-ravaged body was shown during the trial), attempts to start a 'dignified?' twitter war with Donald Trump immediately after the verdict. Interspersed with prayers and profound quotes. 

Other relatives post uncouth, aggressive comments online, attacking anyone with the temerity to hold an opinion that Oscar Pistorius is not the victim in this case.
