Keyquote: "There's no such thing as real truth, or justice. It's just a popularity contest...My idea [for a movie about this story] is that it's impossible to know."
"A trial is like an episode of X-factor. If they like your face you win...it's arbitrary...the evidence is contradictory...we'll never know what happened. If they killed her it doesn't make sense, if they didn't kill her it doesn't make sense. So it boils down to - do we want to seem them go to prison for 20 years....the story is that there is no such thing as real truth."
Do you agree? We don't.
"Beatrice is gone up into high heaven,
The kingdom where the angels are at peace;
And lives with them; and to her friends is dead.
Not by the frost of winter was she driven
Away, like others; nor by summer-heats;
But through a perfect gentleness, instead.
For from the lamp of her meek lowlihead
Such an exceeding glory went up hence
That it woke wonder in the Eternal Sire,
Until a sweet desire
Entererd Him for that lovely excellence,
So that He bade her to Himself aspire:
counting this weary and most evil place
Unworthy of a thing so full of grace." - from Divine Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia[diˈviːna komˈmɛːdja]) an epic poem by Dante Alighieri
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.
